We next board the 0844 First Norfolk & Suffolk Ipswich Reds service 66 to Ipswich (Tower Ramparts Bus Station), arriving there at 0919 on Saturday morning.

Are Ipswich, Leicester and Norwich the only places that have two bus stations?

We walk to the Old Cattle Market (7 minutes, 0.3 miles) and get the 0950 Ipswich Buses service 93 to Colchester (Osborne Street (Stop Aa)), arriving at 1100 Saturday morning.

We are just in time to catch the 11:05 Hedingham service 69A to East Mersea (Ivy Lane) where we arrive at 11:32 on Saturday morning.

We appear to be slightly stuck, hopefully I haven't missed anything.

We then get the 11:33 Headingham service 69 to Layer-de-la-Haye (The Fox), arriving at 11:50 Tuesday morning.

 

[DerekC]

I have a confession to make - the Hedingham services 69A and 69 only run on Tuesdays and I didn't notice! Apologies to all, especially for misleading @A Challenge. I will delete my post and hang my head in shame.

I made a similar mistake in real life before, and had an hour's walk across various frozen/muddy fields.

Oops!

We wait for the 11:35 Panther Travel service 81 (which does run on Saturdays, honest guv ) to Dedham (Marlborough Head) where we arrive at 12:06 on Saturday afternoon.

I spent a very happy summer back in the 1970s surveying rural waterworks all around this area - it's nice to be back, even if only virtually!

There appears to be no other option than to return on the 13:19 Panther Travel service 81 to Colchester (Cuckoo Point), arriving at 1340 Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Because there is a relatively limited service here, we return on the 1319 Panther Travel service 81 to Colchester (Railway Station), arriving there at 1348 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Alex365Dash]

We then take the 14:03 Greater Anglia service to Stratford (London), arriving there for 14:46 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Esker-pades]

We then board the 15:03 Central Line service to West Ruislip, arriving there at 16:00 on a Saturday.

Hang on, my move appears to have been ignored

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

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.
TP

There has NOT been the stated "more than five moves" since the query was raised, so all the postings made after that point, # 25151, # 25152, # 25153 are invalid and should be struck-through.

This is the last valid posting and the thread should be continued from this point.

Oops, sorry! Think the page didn't refresh when I posted as I was only seven minutes after you. Although there's bugger all here

The issue here at Cuckoo Point is that we are a little stuck for further moves still, so then we'll have to wait for the 1452 Panther Travel service 81 to Colchester (Railway Station), arriving there at 1500 on Saturday afternoon?

Just a suggestion: perhaps we could re-instate our invalid moves just by an hour later? Happy for whatever

We enter the railway station and next board the 1507 Greater Anglia service to Manningtree that arrives at 1515 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 1531 Greater Anglia service to Norwich arriving at 1627 on Saturday

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leaving the railway station, we take the one minute walk to bus stop DD on Thorpe Road where we board the 1638 First in Norfolk & Suffolk Green Line service 15 to Acle (the bus stop opposite the Kings Head PH on The Street) that arrives there at 1710 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We next board the 1739 First Norfolk & Suffolk service X1 to Great Yarmouth (Market Gates), arriving there at 1757 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1820 First in Norfolk & Suffolk service X11 to Belton (the bus stop adjacent to Dashwood Close on Station Road North) that arrives there at 1850 on Saturday evening.

 

[Alex365Dash]

Not many buses here, so we hop back on the 19:02 First Norfolk & Suffolk service X11 to Gorleston-on-Sea (Town Centre), arriving there for 19:24 on Saturday evening.

 

[DerekC]

We wait for the 20:15 First Norfolk & Suffolk service 1 to Lowestoft (Bus Station) where we arrive at 20:50 on Saturday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2130 First in Norfolk & Suffolk service X21 to Chedgrave (White Horse PH on Norwich Road) that arrives there at 2228 on Saturday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

That appears to be it for the night, so we return in the morning for the 0919 First Norfolk & Suffolk service X21 to Norwich (Bus Station), arriving there at 0940 on Sunday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the three minute walk to stop BQ on St Stephens Street and there board the 1000 Konnectbus service 41A to Bungay (Holy Trinity church on Trinity Street) that arrives there at 1100 on Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Usually, we do not allow to return to the same settlement, especially when there are plenty of other places we can go to; however, in this instance, the 41A is the only bus to serve this area and all the intermediate settlements in between. Furthermore, it is infrequent so on that basis, we return on the same bus, the 1100 Konectbus service 41A to Norwich (Sentinel House), arriving there at 1215 on Sunday afternoon.

A bit of a cop out I know, but at some point we'll have to return to Norwich as all of the other buses here (including the 99A to Southwold) only run Monday to Saturday.

 

[A Challenge]

We walk to the Bus Station and get the 1300 National Express service 490 to Thetford (Bus Interchange), arriving at 1355 Sunday afternoon.

 

[Esker-pades]

It's a 6 minute walk to the railway station to board the 14:14 East Midlands Railway service to Sheffield, arriving there at 17:39 on a Sunday.

 

[A Challenge]

We then get the 1756 CrossCountry service 1V66 to Plymouth, arriving at 2244 Sunday evening.
