Having just reached the commencement time of the overnight travel relaxation rule, we take advantage of this and next board the 0720 Stagecoach East Scotland service 44 to Leven (Bus Station) that arrives there at 0745 on Tuesday morning.
There's a service to Leven at 2306 and at 2350, so the overnight relaxation rule doesn't need to apply.

  • Night services in the UK can be quite limited, so when the previous move arrives at its destination after 2300 you are allowed to wait until 0500 the next day if you wish.
The above extract from the rules seems to suggest that once the time of 2300 has been reached, contributors can avail themselves of the advantage offered. It seems that different people have different understanding of that rule, but all you can do is to go by what is printed.

Perhaps the forum quizmaster team will make the matter clearer in the rules, so this does not happen again.
