The Transport Game

[ValleyLines142]

A six minute walk takes us to dollis hill jubilee line station arriving at 12:27

I thought in this case it would be 'We then walk six minutes to Dollis Hill and take the 12.00 service to X arriving at 1230'? Or is this not the case?

13:41 FCC to St. Albans arriving at 13:57 Thursday afternoon

Well isnt the walking considered a journey?
And anyway IT'S POSSIBLE unlike last time

13:41 FCC to St. Albans arriving at 13:57 Thursday afternoon

Where is this departing from? And how did we arrive?

Yes, but not as a separate journey method; this needs to be incorporated. You effectively have to use a timetabled service.

And yes, it is walkable haha so it's valid.

 

[Manchester77]

I was in a rush,
From Mill Hill Broadway we take the 13:41 FCC service to St. Albans arriving at 13:57.

I was halfway there
(One day I will manage not to cock up a thread)

 

[ValleyLines142]

No worries!

From Mill Hill Broadway we take the 13:41 FCC service to St. Albans arriving at 13:57.

I'm sorry to add further confusion to you, but how have we got to Mill Hill Broadway from Dollis Hill?

 

[Manchester77]

I think walking has been ruled invalid as a post, could I suggest the following instead?

Sticking with Metroline, we join the 1233 Route 302 to Mill Hill Broadway Station, arriving at 1308 on Thursday afternoon.

We ruled out the walking and took a bus here

[Manchester77]

I made the last post so your choice from St. Albans at 13:57

 

[ValleyLines142]

Quick change of train before boarding 2O73, the 1414 First Capital Connect service to Sutton, arriving there at 1535 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[ls2270]

We now board the 1549 Southern service to Epsom, arriving at 1559 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Manchester77]

We now hop onto the 15:45 Southern service to Clapham Junction arriving at 14:19 Thursday afternoon
Beat me to it!

Enough time for a cuppa before the 16:20 SWT service to Waterloo arriving at 16:59 Thursday evening

 

[ValleyLines142]

Just enough time to catch 2D48, the 1605 South West Trains service to London Waterloo, arriving there at 1640 on Thursday evening.

 

[ls2270]

See you have both thought alike, so by Arriva London Bus 59 now, departing at 1708 and arriving at Kings Cross Station at 1733 but we're on Thursday!

 

[ValleyLines142]

We now decide that we're going to bugger off out of the capital after our lovely visit, so we grab a hot drink and catch 1D25, the 1749 East Coast service to Leeds, arriving there at 2018 on Thursday evening.

 

[Manchester77]

18:00 east coast service to Edinburgh Waverly arriving at 22:22

 

[ValleyLines142]

18:00 east coast service to Edinburgh Waverly arriving at 22:22

Keep up numpty

 

[Manchester77]

Hehe
And after some time to contemplate we take the 22:10 First TranspennineExpress Service to Manchester Piccadilly arriving at 23:05 Thursday Night

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then check in to a very posh hotel in Manchester and sleep, then on the next day we catch the 0803 Metrolink service to Stretford, arriving there at 0819 on Friday morning.

 

[Manchester77]

Hard colour to read!
My home town! We take the 08:30 metrolink shuttle bus to the trafford centre arriving at 08:25


(Hopefully I've read the timetable right!)

 

[ValleyLines142]

Hard colour to read!

I know! Sorry :P

I'm going to bed now, but I'm going to write the next journey in plain font, and then I'll make it beautiful again tomorrow morning!

Where in Manchester are you from??

We take the 08:30 metrolink shuttle bus to the trafford centre arriving at 08:25

Somehow I don't think a bus leaving Stretford Metrolink station at 0830 would arriva at the Trafford Centre at 0825

We then catch the 1420 Stagecoach Manchester route 23 to Chorlton (Bus Station), arriving there at 1450 on Friday afternoon

 

[Manchester77]

Stretford, near Trafford Park station. You?
We then walk to Chorlton metrolink stop where we take the 15:05 tram to Victoria station arriving at 15:23

 

[gnolife]

After realising that First Greater Manchester's claim that buses on route 100 are unmissable is false, we hop onto Arriva North West's route 10, leaving Victoria Station Approach at 15:51, and arriving at Pendleton Shopping City at 16:13 Friday

Right, all you retrogrades, let me remind all of you of some hard facts, having woken at 0335 and then been unable to sleep and read all the postings on this particular thread that occurred (or similar) since I retired for the night.


1)... Let us desist from the use of colour in posting replies, which should be easily legible.

2)...If you use a train service in a posting, enter the start time, the TOC and the arrival time at the station chosen.

3)...If you use a ferry service in internal water locations and not to an offshore island that is not connected to the mainland by a fixed link, enter the start time, the name of the ferry operator, the disembarkation point and the arrival time at the disembarkation point chosen.

4)...If you use a bus or coach service, enter the start time, the operator of the service, the service number, the disembarkation point and the arrival time at the disembarkation point chosen.

5)...Always show the "quiz day" at the end of every posting. This can be important when journeys that end after midnight on Friday and on Saturday nights can mean that the next contestant may have then to use a Saturday or a Sunday timetable in their postings.

--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

In this game you must travel from the station or stop where the previous post left you although this may involve a short walk when changing between modes... for example to a bus stop serving a rail station. No getting back on the same service you have just left. You must use a real timetabled public transport service although this can be train, bus, London Underground, tram or other light rail as long as it is a public transport service. ( No cars, taxis, motorbikes, planes or helicopters.)

You must not leave the island of Great Britain except where there is a fixed link to an island close to Great Britain.

Now with regard to the queries raised about walking. The above extract fromthe rules is very clear and anyone unsure in a posting should always consult these rules, which are always shown on the very first posting on this thread.

Walking as a means of leaving one point and arriving at another point as a complete journey in its own right is NOT acceptable and as such, cannot be claimed as a posting entry on this quiz

 

[ls2270]

The lure of First Route 100 has now proved too much and we join one at Pendleton (Salford Shopping Centre) departing at 1708 and arriving at Warrington Bus Interchange at 1831 on Friday evening.

 

[gnolife]

We oin the 18:45 Warrington Coachways route 37A to Altrincham Interchanfe, arriving 19:24 Friday

 

[ls2270]

We take the 1946 Northern Rail service to Chester, arriving at 2045 on Friday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A change to a different mode of travel presents itself, so we board the 1929 Manchester Metrolink service to Bury Exchange that arrives there at 2024 on Friday evening.

 

[gnolife]

We walk to the Bus Exchange, and take First Chester + Wirral route 1 to Ellesmere Port Bus Station, arriving 21:30 Friday
