The Transport Game

No, your later post involved in even longer wait for the 113 and simply changing the times by 15 minutes won't always work as not all routes run every 15 minutes. It's now up to you to decide if you wish to travel on the 1149 to Alperton (Sainsbury's) arriving at 1205 or if you wish to post an alternative move from Wembley Stadium or declare open floor.

Ah true, in that case we'll go the 1149. I wouldn't have thought I'd make it though because of the arrival off the 1144.

Well the rules do require that you take the first available service after allowing for the minimum connection time, there may have been some excessive waits that were unnoticed but since they are less likely to not be noticed these days due to the hold system.

Fair enough.

The bus stops are 60 - 100 yards from the platform via a walkway so you'd have to be walking very slowly to take more than five minutes even if you had to cross the bridge from the other platform first.

We can now RESUME from Alperton (Sainsbury's) at 1205 on Monday.

We next board the 1210 London Bus service 79 to Edgware underground station that arrives there at 1310 on Monday afternoon

 

[Zoe]

After allowing the 5 minutes connection time, we find that the first available Northern line service is the 1318 which we travel on to Hendon Central arriving at 1325 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Again we find the 5-minute connection time useful as we board the 1330 Northern Line service to Kennington that arrives there at 1404 on Monday afternoon.

Never been there so wouldn't know. Thanks for clarifying

Again we find the 5-minute connection time useful as we board the 1330 Northern Line service to Kennington that arrives there at 1404 on Monday afternoon.

We then exit the station and board the 155 service operated by Go-Ahead London on the 1411 to Tooting (St George's Hospital), arriving there at 1508 on Monday afternoon. I am hoping that it's a 5 minute connection time at Kennington, otherwise I'll go skits!

I was told that a 5 minute connection time was allowable at the smaller London Underground stations.

We next board the 1515 London bus route 264 service (operated by Arriva London) to West Croydon Bus Station arriving at 1617 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

At the bus station, we find a service that just meets the 5-minute connection period and board the 1622 Abellio London service 407 to Whyteleafe (opposite to St Lukes Road) that arrives there at 1638] 1658 on Monday afternoon.

HOLD

pending clarification of intended move by Paul

That bus doesn't reach Whyteleafe until 1658 - 1638 is its time at South Croydon bus garage

CONTINUE the typographical error has now been corrected.... and the time reads on the posting now reads 1658.

The TfL journey planner names that stop as Whyteleafe Station Godstone Road

So I reckon it's legitimate to walk into the station and catch the 1712 Southern service to Whyteleafe South arriving at 1714 Monday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1729 SN service to Purley that arrives there at 1737 on Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

This is followed by 2C94, the 1749 Southern service to New Cross Gate, arriving there at 1806 on Monday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We continue our succession of short local rail journeys by boarding the 1817 LO service to Norwood Junction that arrives there at 1835 on Monday evening.

 

[Trainfan344]

http://www.trainscanbecheaper.info/StationChangeTimes.aspx shows interchange time here as 2 minutes and so we board the 18:39 Southern service to Wallington arriving there at 18:51 Monday Evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to head off to a much larger railway station next with numerous onwards connections and board the 1910 SN service to London Victoria that arrives there at 1954 on Monday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

An arrival into one of London's busiest terminals thanks to Paul's very well-planned previous journey means that there are several different directions we can choose from. As a result, we board 1J52, the 2032 Southern service to Southampton Central, arriving there at 2307 on Monday evening, taking into account we need the front four coaches, and not the rear four which is for the Bognor Regis portion of the train!.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Still a short onwards railway service is available so we board the 2320 SWT service to Romsey that arrives there at 2348 on Monday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

This is then followed by one more final push on 2S75, the 2356 South West Trains service to Salisbury, arriving there at 0019 in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the first train eastwards, this being the 0515 SWT service to Overton that arrives there at 0549 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board 1L14, the 0616 South West Trains service to Woking, arriving there at 0646 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time now for a run out to the coastal areas on a stopping train, so we next board the 0713 SWT service to Bedhampton that arrives there at 0829 on Tuesday morning.

 

[High Dyke]

We note the connection time is shown as 6 minutes; so with that in mind we make our way to the opposite platform where we are able to join the 08:37 SWT service for the short trip to Havant arriving at 08:39 on Tuesday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Again, the 5-minute connection time is useful here for an onward coastal rail ride, so we board the 0846 SWT service to Southwick that arrives there at 0937 on Tuesday morning

 

[High Dyke]

We now take a trip along the coast as we board the 09:43 Southern service to Swanwick arriving at 11:00 on Tuesday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to change the mode of travel and leave the railway station and walk across the road (Park Gate) outside the railway station to the bus stop where we board the 1138 First in Hampshire service 28A to Fareham bus station that arrives there at 1219 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

We observe a 5 minute connection and board the 12:51 First in Hampshire X4 service to Southampton (Castle Way) arriving there at 13:52 Tuesday Afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We then board the 1400 First in Hampshire service X4 to Portsmouth (Victoria Park) that arrives there at 1534 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We find out that Portsmouth & Southsea station is right next to Victoria Park, so we then board 2S70, the 1559 Southern service to Chichester, arriving there at 1637 on Tuesday afternoon.
