Apologies for the problem surrounding the deleted postings, the reason for the deletion of the two posts by Paul S and Class20 was because the messages read "Post deleted" (or words to that effect), this was the sole reason for the moderation intervention to remove the posts in this instance. I am personally disappointed, in myself, that this action has caused such an upset and I can only apologise and offer to reinstate the two postings concerned if this is what is wished by the two members.

That was because myself and Paul had posted journeys at the same time. I was responding to High Dykes post but was beaten to it by Paul. But he thought I had beaten him to it. So the best way out of the situation was to create a new post

We then transfer on to the 07:10 First Bristol, Bath & the West service number 21 to Bridgwater (Bus Station) Arriving there at 07:55 Wednesday Morning

We have time to stock up on provisions before boarding the 08:30 Berrys Coaches Superfast 1 service to Hammersmith Bus Station, London, arriving at 11:00 Wednesday morning

Thanks to those who have sent PM to me and matters now seem clarified. I am today celebrating my 68th birthday, so it seems an opportune time to return to the quiz.

Noting that we are next to a railway station, we take this opportunity to head off to a Dorset coastal location by rail and entering the railway station with plenty of time to book the tickets and to meet any connectional time requirements, we board the 2035 SWT service to Weymouth that arrives there at 2320 on Wednesday evening.

Happy birthday Sir

We would love to spend time exploring the Jurassic Coast. However onward travel this evening isn't feasible. We find some accomodation for the night and continue our travels early the following morning. We are one of the few passengers joining the 05:33 FGW service to Maiden Newton arriving 05:55 on Thursday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whilst at the railway station, we take the opportunity to admire the flint-decorated station building that was constructed in 1857 by the Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset Railway before we board the 0705 FGW service to Keynsham that arrives there at 0856 on Thursday morning.

 

[Zoe]

We decide to now head for the edge of the Bristol urban area by boarding the 0923 Wessex Connect route 533 from the bus stop outside the station car park (Somerdale, Keynsham Station SE bound) to Staple Hill, Teewell Hill arriving at 1012 on Thursday.

 

[Trainfan344]

There hasn't been a railway station in Staple Hill since 1966. The former Midland route is now the Bristol and Bath Railway Path.

My mistake Zoe, I misread your posting, thinking you have left us at the railway station, not taken us from there. Will stike through post.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We wait at that bus stop before we board the 1016 First in Bristol, Bath & the West service 49 to Bristol (Rupert Street) that arrives there at 1053 on Thursday morning.

We wait a very short time there before boarding the 1016 First in Bristol, Bath & the West service 49 to Bristol (Rupert Street) that arrives there at 1053 on Thursday morning.
