The Transport Game

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Don't ever decide you want to travel by bus in Thirsk to anywhere interesting after 1830 on a Saturday evening...:roll:

We spend a "happy hour" on the railway station until we board the 1926 First TPE service to York that arrives there at 1950 on Saturday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We catch the 2001 East Coast HST to Peterborough, arriving at 2119, Saturday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to ponder our next onward journey and we then board the 2146 FCC service to Stevenage that arrives at 2235 on Saturday night.

 

[Zoe]

Now from Stevenage on the 2242 First Capital Connect service to Cambridge arriving at 2328 on Saturday.

 

[dzug2]

And on to Ely, arriving 0029 Sunday morning, on the 0011 FCC departure

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

How fortunate we are to find an available onward service at such a time in the early hours of Sunday morning and we board the 0029 FCC service to Watlington that arrives there at 0051 on Sunday morning.

It's the train we just got off, Paul

I realise that I looked at the 0011 departure time of your posting instead of the 0029 arrival time. My posting has been totally struck-through.......:roll:.

Let us try again.....

We have no choice to draw out coats tightly around us and settle down for the night as best as we can and look for a service that will give us time to warm up, but we have to wait for over eight hours until we can board the 0858 FCC service to London Kings Cross that arrives there at 1009 on Sunday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We have a meander around North London on the Metroline 46 bus leaving York Way at 1020, landing up at Lancaster Gate at 1114 Sunday morning

...with a bolt to the Central Line platforms of the Tube Station, the 11:16 Central Line terminating at White City which is where we alight, arriving at 11:26 that Sunday.

I'm not sure you'd make that connection considering you'd have to go through the barriers and then down an elevator.

Or down a spiral staircase with 104 steps

Certainly pushing it some

 

[VTPreston_Tez]

Add 4 minutes on then and make it 1120 arrive 1130

 

[dzug2]

Let us continue on the London United No 49 bus at 1147 to Clapham Junction St Johns Road arriving at 1237, Sunday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We now board the 1310 London Bus service 156 to Wandsworth (Southgate Shopping Centre) that arrives there at 1331 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Zoe]

Now on the 1344 London Bus route 44 to Earlsfield Station arriving at 1353 on Sunday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We only wait for a short time before we board the 1414 SWT service to Dorking (Main) that arrives there at 1451 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We take the 5 minute walk to Dorking Deepdene and catch the 1504 FGW service to Gatwick Airport, arriving 1530 Sunday afternoon

Void move, you have to travel from the station the last post left you.

OK we have a bit of a wait then before catching Metrobus 465 at 1642 to Dorking Deepdene station arriving by 1646 (the next timing point) Sunday afternoon (or 1643 on the TfL planner)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

It's an OSI, it should really count.

We are playing this quiz as per the exact wording of the rules that Zoe wrote in the first posting on this quiz.

Because that last bus took us to the railway station, we enter it and board the 1704 FGW service to Redhill that arrives there at 1718 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We continue on the 1810 Southern Service to Edenbridge Kent, arriving 1825 Sunday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time passes soon in the warm late afternoon sunshine and before long, we board the 1925 Southern service to Tonbridge that arrives there at 1940 on Sunday evening.

 

[Zoe]

Now on the 1955 Southeastern service to Dover Priory arriving at 2101 on Sunday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sunday night is not a good time to be making onward rail connections but we eventually board the 2202 Southeastern service to Sandwich that arrives there at 2225 on Sunday night.

 

[dzug2]

We find there is little onward transport, but we can get to Ramsgate, leaving at 0026 and arriving at 0038, Monday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We find a comfortable place to pass the time away on the station until it is time to board the 0500 Southeastern service to Canterbury West that arrives there at 0523 on Monday morning.

 

[dzug2]

At 06:03 we take Stagecoach in East Kent bus 6 to Canterbury East Railway Station (on Pin Hill) , arriving at 06:06 Monday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Entering the railway station, we find that we are just in time to board the 0615 Southeastern stopping service to Rochester that arrives at 0710 on Monday morning

 

[dzug2]

We catch the Arriva 136 bus at 0722 from Star Hill and travel to Gravesend Town Centre (Rail Station), arriving at 0753 Monday
