The Transport Game

[Zoe]

We cross over the road and don't have long to wait before we can board a High Peak bus Skyline 199 service in the opposite direction at 1059 for the short journey to Whaley Bridge adj station arriving at 1106 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We see with regret that the barriers are still around the Jodrell Arms, once famous for its cooked meals, and do not have too long to wait for the arrival of our onward connection and we then board the 1119 High Peak service 61 to Chunal (Grouse Inn) that arrives there at 1149 on Monday morning.

 

[Zoe]

We have an hour to wait here before we can board the next High Peak 61 service to continue our journey at 1249 to Glossop Henry Street arriving at 1256 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to drop in at the café in the Co-operative store for a snack and a hot drink before returning to board the 1338 High Peak service 394 to Cote Green (Glossop Road) that arrives there at 1401 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Zoe]

We decide to continue on into Marple but only after waiting an hour for the next High Peak 394 service at 1502 to Marple, Stockport Road/Navigation arriving at 1509 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Marple, if nothing else, is where you can obtain a good meal at any time of the day, so we replenish "the inner traveller" then return to the bus stop to board the 1620 High Peak service 62 to Hayfield (Station Road bus station) that arrives there at 1646 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Zoe]

From here we travel next to New Mills opp Town Hall on the 1729 High Peak service 61 that arrives at 1729 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1757 High Peak service 64 to Kettleshulme (Bulls Head) that arrives there at 1817 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Class20]

As that was the last bus of the day through the area, we take in accomodation at the Bulls Head before returning to the stop the following morning. From here we catch the 07:05 High Peak 60 which we take to Macclesfield Bus Station, arriving at 07:24 Tuesday morning.

 

[gnolife]

We have a very short wait for the 07:30 Bakerbus route 99 to Macclesfield, London Road (Opposite the dirty stinking Macc scum's football ground), arriving 07:33 Tuesday

 

[Class20]

We wait half an hour and catch the following Bakerbus 99 at 08:03 taking us to Congleton, Market Street, Bus Station,, arriving at 08:35 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We have time to have a hot drink with the other morning commuters in a nearby cafe, before we return to board the 0930 D & G service 42 to Middlewich (King Street) that arrives there at 0958 on Tuesday morning.

 

[gnolife]

We take the 10:08 Arriva North West route 37 to Haslington, Broughton Arms, arriving 10:41 Tuesday

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We continue our exploration of Cheshire by omnibus without carrying on to Crewe and its notorious bus station and after partaking of a hot drink to refresh us, we cross to the other side of the road to board the 1119 Arriva North West service 37 to Northwich bus station/interchange that arrives there at 1240 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

Well seeing as it's lunchtime then it is a quick walk round to Chatwins Bakery in Market Street for a sarnie and a bottle of water. Oh no they've sold out of chicken salad baguettes. Luckily there's an egg & cress sub roll on the shelf.

Back to the Interchange then and in time for GHA Coaches 82 Service from Stand D at 13:40 to Tarvin High Street (outside Londis store) arriving 14:15 Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1428 Arriva North West service 84 to Vicars Cross (Norton Road) that arrives there at 1440 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

Into Chester we go. Here comes the 14:54 No.82 service, operated by GHA Coaches, which arrives at The Bars (Stop L) at 15:00 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Broken Viking]

New to this, so hope I'm interpreting the rules correctly.

Taking a short walk from the Bars to the station, I find myself unable to help jumping on board the 15:35 1A50 Virgin Voyager to London Euston, arriving EUS 17:38 in anticipation of getting some damn good Pendo thrash in before the end of the day!

One thing you forgot to put in is the day of the week that we're dealing with, but otherwise, that's fine (the 1A50 isn't required though). I'm probably not the right person to be criticising for this, because I forget it half the time as well

We take the 17:57 London Overground service to Watford Junction, arriving 18:48 on Tuesday.

 

[Broken Viking]

Can I get a quick run to Milton Keynes Central, arriving 19:36 on Tuesday?
(LM 2K65)

 

[High Dyke]

We take the 17:57 London Overground service to Watford Junction, arriving 18:48 on Tuesday.

Just in time to make the 18:55 London Midland service to St Albans Abbey arr. 19:11 Tuesday evening.

You've forgotten the time of departure (18:56 from WFJ) this time...


We take the 19:50 Virmin Trains service to Manchester Piccadilly, arriving 21:28 on Tuesday

Is it me, or did we just choose the same train out of pure coincidence? :razz:

The batteries have run out in my phone and I'm unable to do any timetable look-ups...So we're still at St. Albans whilst somebody else gets this info out.

Edit: User contention in progress (This'd be better played over IRC!) - Last station is MAN at 21:28 on Tuesday.

Eh? I'm confused by that one - you tried sending us to Milton Keynes, he tried sending us down the Abbey Flyer,

HOLD HOLD HOLD

Things are a little mixed up now. Need to get this sorted before we continue with any move.

An adjudicator is required

 

[High Dyke]

It could be contended that i posted a journey whereas Death posted a question. I'll await adjudication on this matter.

Having returned to this quiz in the very early hours on Sunday morning and read the last few postings, I have sent a PM to Zoe with regard to the required adjudication.

My greetings to our new contestant Death and I wish to say that it was unfortunate to join this quiz on a day where an adjudication was requested as this is very rarely the case these days.

 

[Broken Viking]

Edit: User contention in progress (This'd be better played over IRC!) - Last station is MAN at 21:28 on Tuesday.

I saw this happening a few posts up, hence my edit. It often happens when multiple players are posting simultaneously.

Hold is understood to still be in effect, but the quote above (Based on the post immediately before mine) might help the adjudication.

 

[gnolife]

I think that ultimately, the question is whether the post that took us to MK is accepted with the time of departure not being included in the post.

Rather than making any void declarations at this time, we will give "Death" the opportunity to confirm the departure time in their post and rephrase it so it does not read like a question as I believe it was the intention to make the journey but since they were new to the game, they were not entirely sure if it would be valid or not.
