The Transport Game

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Blessed are those who remember to add the "running quiz day" at the end of their postings, for they shall reap the benefits of the grateful thanks of fellow contestants for all eternity.....

 

[Class 92]

Next is the 23:31 Scotrail service to Balloch arriving at 23:41 Saturday

 

[dzug2]

There are probably worse places to spend the night but there's nothing else that Traveline Scotland will cough up until the 0809 Scotrail service to Motherwell arriving at 0920 Sunday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A Sunday morning run-out on a stopping service sees us next board the 0936 First ScotRail service to Hillfoot that arrives there at 1026 on Sunday morning.

 

[Zoe]

We next board the 2139 EMT service to Derby that arrives there at 2213 on Friday evening.

HOLD HOLD HOLD
You posted the move that left us at Matlock at 2129 on Friday so can't post the next move. Back we go to RESUME from Matlock at 2129 on Friday.

 

[dzug2]

In that case I'll post that move and see what variations ensue

We next board the 2139 EMT service to Derby that arrives there at 2213 on Friday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

In similar vein, I shall repeat the posting that was made to follow the one you made...

We next board the 2228 EMT service to Sheffield that arrives there at 2302 on Friday evening.

 

[dzug2]

A change of TOC sees us board the 2315 Northern service to Moorthorpe that arrives there at 2352 on Friday evening.

 

[High Dyke]

With no further onward travel possible tonight we settle down as best as we can...trying to shelter in this desolate settlement, and avoid the local frim folk.

Countless trains pass through, but none stop until the one we board to escape this place! We join the 07:06 Northern service to Leeds arriving 07:44 on Saturday

That trip to Whitby may still happen...

 

[dzug2]

The 0828 TPE departure takes us to Darlington, arriving 0930 Saturday morning

Whitby is on with a bit of cooperation from the next player

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leeds, being one of the major stations, has a 10 minute connection time ruling, which rules out the train to Middlesbrough we wanted to use, so we resign ourself to boarding the 0757 XC service to Darlington that arrives there at 0855 on Saturday morning.

 

[High Dyke]

We've just missed on connecting service, but find another one isn't too long to wait.

We join the 09:55 Northern service and alight at Middlesborough arriving 10:17 on Saturday.

 

[Zoe]

HOLD HOLD HOLD

I have found an earlier service to Darlington......

You can't just go overriding a previous move with your own post even if the move is incorrect. The person either needs to respond to the hold by striking through or posting correct move or it declared void by adjudication (in which case the original poster will usually be allowed time to submit a new move). We are HOLDING at Leeds at 0744 on Saturday waiting for dzug2's response to the hold called.

 

[dzug2]

RESUMING

Painfully edging nearer our goal. Previous post struck through


We take the 0757 XC service to Darlington that arrives there at 0855 on Saturday morning.

 

[High Dyke]

Time to recover our senses now as we head for a cuppa before we continue to Eaglescliffe on the 09:30 Northern service arriving at 09:44 on Saturday.

 

[dzug2]

And now the 1007 Northern service to Middlesbrough, arriving at 1017 Saturday morning

 

[Trainfan344]

Observing the minimum connection time and hopefully all the rules, we board the 10:38 Northern Rail Service to Whitby!!! arriving there at 12:05 Saturday Afternoon

Hurrah! We celebrate with fish and chips from the award winning Quayside chippie before we make our way back to the station to catch the 12:41 Northern service as far as Middlesborough arriving 14:07 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We make a cross-country journey next and board the 1423 Northern service to Heighington that arrives there at 1505 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Class20]

We wait at the station before boarding the 15:38 Northern service to Darlington, arriving at 15:51 Saturday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to head south down the ECML and board the 1600 EC service to Doncaster that arrives there at 1654 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

Fresh from our heady escapade across the North Yorkshire Moors we embark on another giddy adventure into the unknown.

Armed with supplies from the Pumpkin cafe we join the 17:01 Northern service for an 'all stops' round the houses trip to Kiveton Park arriving at 18:04 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Class 92]

Then catch the 17:01 Northern Rail service to Sheffield arriving at 17:41 on the Saturday

Beat me too it, still never mind the same train.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

HOLD HOLD HOLD

Which of the last two postings do we continue from ?.....Kiveton Park or Sheffield ?

 

[dzug2]

The Kiveton Park one as it was posted first (or at least appears to have been). Class92 should strike through his post, replacing it with another if he wishes

 

[Zoe]

The Kiveton Park one as it was posted first (or at least appears to have been). Class92 should strike through his post, replacing it with another if he wishes

Since there has not been a strike though yet, I will clear this hold by declaring the post void and stating that we are at Kiverton Park at 1804 on Saturday with Class92 having priority to post the next move until 1315 after which time it becomes open floor.

 

[Class 92]

Northern rail service to Sheffield leaving Kiveton Park at 18:34 arriving into Sheffield at 18:57 on the Saturday

How do you put a line through the text I cant find anything?

 

[High Dyke]

How do you put a line through the text I cant find anything?

You have to insert the required strikethrough manually.At the start put At the end you need to close it off by putting a / before the S. Your text should be inserted in between the two markers. HTH?

We continue our journey with another trip to the seaside by joining the 19:11 TPE service to Cleethorpes arriving 21:00 on Saturday night.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

An interesting quandry...There are no buses stopping outside Cleethorpes railway station and the last train on a Saturday night leaves at 2103, which is outside the 5-minute allowed connection time.

We find that we have no option but to seek overnight accommodation and return to the railway station to catch the first outwards Sunday service which is the 0926 First TPE service to Habrough that arrives there at 0944 on Sunday morning.

 

[dzug2]

The 1021 Northern service takes us to Barton on Humber, arriving at 1048 Sunday morning
