Sadly we have insufficient connection time for a trip along the GN/GE Joint Line to Yellerbelly Country. We find ourselves venturing into East Yorkshire again with a trip on the 20:43 Northern service to Hull arriving 21:47 on Monday

We decide to visit the area where the colliery waste heave left the rail tracks looking like a ride on Blackpool Pleasure Beach for some period before Network Rail restored matters to normal, so we board the 2220 Northern service to Hatfield & Stainforth that arrives there at 2305 on Monday evening.

We find ourselves in less than salubrious surroundings for the night. 
Still we only have to wait until the first train of the day, the 05:46 Northern service to that utopian paradise
of Rotherham Central arriving at 06:46 Tuesday morning.

Noting some interesting services run the early weekday mornings, we next board the 0727 Northern service to Worksop that terminates there at 0810 on Tuesday morning.
(This is down in the timetable as running as this for the duration of the engineering at Nottingham. I'm hoping that it is deemed as acceptable for the purpose of this game)

This is the section of the rules that refers to this matter.
Didn't know about that rule.
In which case its the 08:38 East Midlands Non-existant Trains service from Worksop to Nottingham, arriving 09:44 on Tuesday

If it were Wednesday then i'd have waved to you...
As the services usually cross here we have time to wait. So we adjourn to the tearooms at the adjacent, and famous, Heckington Windmill for refreshment. Maybe get a carry-out from the 8-Sail Brewery on the same site
Returning to the station we continue our westward journey by boarding 14:04 EMT service for the short trip to Sleaford arriving at 14:12 on Tuesday afternoon

A visit to a settlement with a noted cathedral seems attractive, so we board the 1431 EMT service to Lincoln Central that arrives there at 1505 on Tuesday afternoon.

From one cathedral city to another, and a location with a tram network - unlike Lincoln, as we depart on the 15:24 Northern service to Sheffield arriving 16:48 on Tuesday

A change of TOC sees us board the 2142 First TPE service to Seamer that arrives there at 2250 on Tuesday evening.
The last Scarborough and District service 17 of the day takes us from the stop known as Seamer Station Eastfield at 2326, from where we travel as far as Osgodby Post Office, arriving at 2339 Tuesday evening
East Yorkshire also claim to run the service at 2324/2336
