We next board the 1235 Seaford and District service 231 to Burwash Common (the bus stop opposite Vicarage Road on A265 Coppers Hill) that arrives there at 1308 on Thursday afternoon.

Not a massive thrive of activity here so we head for a site where onward connections are available as we board the 1317 Seaford and District service 231 to Etchingham (Railway Station), arriving there at 1330 on Thursday afternoon.

We then get the 14:18 Southeastern service 1H54 to Sevenoaks, arriving at 14:57 Thursday afternoon.

CLARIFICATION needed
That’s the same bus, and looking on Traveline it doesn’t serve a stop at 1317, serving Burwash Strand Meadow at 1315 and Etchingham Village Hall at 1319. Possibly an incorrect timetable somewhere.

Oh, I just looked at the timetable on the Seaford and District website?

 

[James Wake]

The bus doesn't return to Burwash Common, I'm not sure where you read it as the timetable seems right to me.

Next journey options are the 1353 231 back towards Uckfield or the 1526 231 to Hurst Green via Etchingham.

 

[ValleyLines142]

The timetable I have on M-F shows a 1245 departure from Uckfield arriving at Hurst Greek Village Hall at 1336, with a call at Burwash Common at 1317 and then the Post Office at 1321. Is this not the right stop?

I'm trying to attach a copy of the timetable but my phone won't let me!

 

[James Wake]

The timetable changed last year. It used to run through to Hurst Green all the time but now is cut back primarily to Etchingham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Unlike in previous versions of this game, we do not have any one appointed person(s) who have a role to police the rules of the game, instead we leave this down to community judgement.

It comes down to the community to point out any rule breaches, however this shouldn't hold up game play and it may not be necessary to return to the previous post, especially where there has been more than five moves (or 24 hours has elapsed) since the posting in question was made.

Let us hope that the aspiration shown above by the forum quizmasters enables a swift resolution of the current problem.

 

[ValleyLines142]

In that case let's board the 1353 Seaford and District service 231 to Uckfield (Railway Station), arriving there at 1428 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[James Wake]

We next board from the bus station close by the 1440 Compass Travel Service 31 to Cuckfield, Warden Park School arriving at 1525 on Thursday afternoon. (Assuming schooldays)

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1629 Metrobus service 271 to Brighton (Paston Place), arriving there at 1752 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

You have just pipped me at the post as I was just about to post the 1530 Compass Travel service 33 to Hurstpierpoint, Willow Way that arrives at 1634.

 

[James Wake]

We then board the 1629 Metrobus service 271 to Brighton (Paston Place), arriving there at 1752 on Thursday afternoon.

In real life, I would get on the 5 the other way to Pound Hill and stay on it round the loop if I had a ticket that allowed me to, but I don’t think it’s allowed in the rules.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2352 Metrobus service 200 to Gatwick Airport (South Terminal), arriving there at 0002 on Friday morning.

If its one service then it is allowed, else it would need to be in two parts split on the same bus!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We then board the 0824 Stagecoach London service 199 to Deptford (Evelyn Street/High Street), arriving there at 0858 on Friday morning.
