The Transport Game

[High Dyke]

Unfortunately there are no more services tonight within the timeframe so we settle down on the English Riviera until the first train of the morning.

We depart on the 06:10 FGW service and alight at Starcross arriving 06:55 on Tuesday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We quickly investigate the ferry to Exmouth and find we are far too early for it, so we leave the station and catch the Stagecoach south west no 2 service at 0709 to Exeter Bus station, arriving at 0740 on Tuesday morning

 

[Zoe]

A 50 minute wait here before we board the 0830 National Express 501 coach to Heathrow Airport, Central Bus Station arriving at 1150 on Tuesday.

 

[dzug2]

The 1155 Abellio Surrey 555 service takes us to Shepperton Station, Green Lane, arriving at 1256 Tuesday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

We take the opportunity to return to rail transport as we enter the station and board the 13:10 SWT service which conveys us to Raynes Park arriving at 13:42 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We continue our rail travelogue and next board the 1358 SWT service to Guildford that arrives there at 1450 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We catch the 1500 SWT service to Bagshot, arriving at 1553 Tuesday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

As the bus stop in The Square would require a long walk, we decide to make a short journey by rail and board the 1559 SWT service to Camberley that arrives there at 1605 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

Not wanting to get stuck going back and forth on the same route for the afternoon we decide to venture a little further by boarding the 16:18 SWT service to Ascot arriving at 16:30 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1643 SWT service to Earley that arrives there at 1705 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[ModernRailways]

With not many other options available to us from this station we decide to head back to the big city. We board the 17:12 South West Trains service all the way to it's terminus at London Waterloo, where we arrive at 18:34 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1900 SWT service to Worplesdon that arrives there at 1930 on Tuesday evening.

 

[High Dyke]

We don't have long to wait before our next train. We depart on the 19:40 SWT service and alight at Clapham Junction arriving at 20:05 on Tuesday

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We are now afforded an opportunity to take the northern-bound link route with many stops, so we board the 2039 Southern service to Bletchley that arrives there at 2158 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Rich McLean]

Now just a short wait until the 22:14 London Midland Service to Milton Keynes Central, arriving at 22:19 on Tuesday Evening

 

[ModernRailways]

Determined to stick to the London commuter belt we decide to catch the 22:41 Virgin Trains service all the way to London Euston where we arrive at 23:38 on Tuesday night.

 

[Rich McLean]

We arrive at Euston just in time to take the 23:50 Caledonian ScotRail Sleeper service to Edinburgh Waverly, arriving at 07:22 on Wednesday Morning

Whilst in reality it might be doable reality has little to do with this game

The MCT at Euston is 15 minutes

 

[High Dyke]

Having travelled up the WCML during the night we now take a daylight journey along the ECML on the 07:30 East Coast service to London Kings Cross arriving at 11:50 on Wednesday.

The MCT at Euston is 15 minutes

I concur with you over this.

Game moves
You must depart from the station or stop where the previous post arrived using a permitted timetabled public transport service. The minimum connection time for the station or stop must be allowed for. Where this is not published, a minimum interchange time is considered to be five minutes.

The usual extract from the rules.

 

[Zoe]

This is indeed the case and so we remain at London Euston at 2338 on Tuesday with Rich McLean having priority to post the next move until 1000 tomorrow after which time it becomes open floor.

 

[Rich McLean]

Struck through, wasn't sure on the MCT.

We now await the 00:38 London Midland Service to Watford Junction arriving at 0100 on Wednesday Morning

That's not valid either unfortunately. The rules require you to use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing the minimum connection time and there is a departure at 2357 which will get you to Watford Junction at 0044. Back we go again to London Euston at 2338 on Tuesday again wich Rich McLean having priority to post the next move until 1000 after which time it becomes open floor.

 

[Rich McLean]

Third time lucky

We take the 23:57 London Midland Service to Watford Junction arriving at 00:44 on Wednesday Morning

 

[ModernRailways]

As we don't want to head north, we decide to bunk down for the night and await the first service back to London Euston which is operated by London Midland and departs at 0410. We arrive into London Euston at 0435 on Wednesday Morning.

 

[ModernRailways]

Duplicate Post, deleted.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to take the slow early morning stopping train northwards and board the 0530 LM service to Tile Hill that arrives there at 0736 on Wednesday morning

Sorry but you can't do that. You have to take a service within 2 hours of the first available service after allowing the minimum connection time. The last post left you at Watford Junction at 0044 and the connection time is 5 minutes so the first available service that could be taken is the 0101 service to Milton Keynes and since there are no departures between 0101 and 0301 then this service must be taken. We remain at Watford Junction at 0044 on Wednesday with ModernRailways having priority to post the next move until 1117 after which time it becomes open floor.

 

[ModernRailways]

We are lucky and manage to see there is still one more service from this station. We wait on the platform for the 0101 London Midland service. We were going to get off at Hemel Hempstead but we fall asleep and so end up at it's terminus at Milton Keynes Central where we arrive at 0148 early Wednesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next take the 0330 LM service to Berkhamsted that arrives there at 0358 on Wednesday morning.
