The Transport Game

[High Dyke]

We are in luck as the bus that connects with the train is due at the stop that serves the station. We board the 10:55 EYMS 350 service which carries us across the River Humber into East Yorkshire. We alight at Hull (Midland Street) arriving at 11:15 on Sunday

 

[dzug2]

This seems to be one of those stops that is served in one direction only. Regretting having got off one stop short of a shilling we take the next bus on to Hull Interchange it being EYMS service 153 departing at 1130 and arriving 1138 Sunday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next try to recreate a journey to a settlement once served by rail so we next board the 1215 EYMS service 75 to Withernsea (Withernsea Pier Road) that arrives there at 1333 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

Having satisfied our curiosity we await the next bus to arrive. We board the 13:47 EYMS service 75 and alight at Keyingham (Ship Inn) arriving 14:16 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We use the hour wait to take a leisurely Sunday afternoon stroll in the area before returning to board the 1516 EYMS service 75 to Hull Interchange that arrives there at 1605 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

We take another trip around East Yorkshire by joining the 16:25 EYMS 121 service to Bridlington Bus Station arriving 18:07 on Sunday

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to take a short Sunday evening run-out and board the 1826 Yorkshire Coastliner service X45 to Staxton (Hare and Hounds) that arrives there at 1911 on Sunday evening.

 

[dzug2]

The next westbound Coastliner, this time an 843, takes us at 1947 as far as Tadcaster Bus Station, arriving at 2123 Sunday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A Sunday evening run out to a historic market town sees us board the 2206 Yorkshire Coastliner service 843 to Malton bus station that arrives there at 2312 on Sunday evening.

 

[High Dyke]

Having visited the settlement famous for its breweries we return eastwards on the 22:06 Yorkbus 843 Coastliner service and alight at York Railway Station arriving 22:30 on Sunday.

With no further onwards journey possible we settle down for the night. The next morning we see an early westbound departure before we board the 06:14 Yorkbus 840 service and alight at Pickering (Eastgate Square) arriving 06:33 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A short wait until we board the 0649 Yorkshire Coastliner service 840 to Copmanthorpe (Hallcroft Lane) that arrives there at 0826 on Monday morning.

 

[High Dyke]

We fancy a return to the seaside so board the 08:45 Yorkshire Coastliner 843 service to Scarborough (Peasholm Park) arriving 10:59 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to use a local bus service and board the 1108 Scarborough and District service 3A to Northstead (Post Office) that arrives there at 1127 on Monday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We continue the circuit on the next 3A at 1207 and arrive at Scarborough York Place at 1215 on Monday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wishing to see some marine life from the safety of being on the other side of thick glass, we next board the 1240 Scarborough and District service 3 to Scalby Mills (Sea Life Centre) that arrives there at 1259 on Monday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We don't have much time to explore the centre as we must catch the next 3 bus at 1339 to Peasholm Park The Sands arriving at 1347 Monday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1428 Scarborough and District service 3A to Scarborough (York Place) that arrives there at 1455 on Monday afternoon.

 

[CallySleeper]

Fortunately we arrive back in the town centre a minute's walk from the railway station. We've decided having spend the last couple of days or so exploring East Yorkshire that it's time to head somewhere different, so we board the 15.48 TPX service to Leeds arriving 17.04 on Monday

HOLD HOLD HOLD!

You cannot walk to a different location. Scarborough Railway Station would be the Bus Stop if we wanted to continue on the railway.

Taken from the rules:

Walking
You may not walk between stations of the same mode although you may walk to a different bus stop at the same location for example by crossing the road in order to travel in a different direction. You may also walk when changing modes but only to a stop serving the same location.

 

[dzug2]

Traveline says it's 4 minute walk

I think we are stuck on the 3/3a until someone finds a stop common with another service. Peasholm Park somewhere?

Indeed so...look at posting # 5862 where you will find the service that took us to Peasholme Park in the first place.

That'll be my fault then...

I was investigating other services from York Place, but have to wait until the game resumes. It doesn't seem the most passenger friendly stop in Scarborough, but there are others services that seem to use the same location.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

That'll be my fault then...

No, not at all...I was highlighting the escape route once sometime takes either the Scarborough and District 3 or 3A services from Scarborough, York Place, to Peasholme Park.

I shall send the customary PM to Zoe.

 

[High Dyke]

No, not at all...

It's alright kind sir. I'm broad shouldered...and round bellied enough to accept responsbility.

Hopefully when we recommence someone will be able to get us out of this.

 

[dzug2]

Well put it this way - I haven't managed to find any other service using York Place other than the 3/3A. But Traveline Yorkshire is a pig of a site not designed to give that sort of information.

 

[Zoe]

You cannot walk to a different location. Scarborough Railway Station would be the Bus Stop if we wanted to continue on the railway.

This is indeed the case and so we will RESUME under open floor conditions from Scarborough (York Place) at 1455 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I cannot go...as I posted that last move.

I made that mistake last time when there was a long time gap before approval was given to continue...

 

[High Dyke]

Having now grown a little weary of the area we attempt to find an alternative by travelling on the 15:20 Scarborough & District 3A service to Peasholm Park arriving at 15:27 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1543 Yorkshire Coastliner service 843 to York railway station that arrives there at 1740 on Monday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

Having arrived at a suitable interchange we enter the station and board the 17:48 Cross Country service to Newcastle arriving at 18:46 on Monday.
