Given that there's only one other route than line 7 in the area, and we can't technically reboard the same service, we'll spend a couple of hours in Brownshill Green and the area until the first line 32 bus arrives in Browns Lane Bus Terminus, leaving at 15:04 and arriving at Birmingham Road Post Office on Wednesday at 15:10.

Just a few things:

1) You can use the same route just not the very same service (but you can board the returning service of the one we've just used).
2) We shouldn't spend long periods of time at places. Moves should be completed within two hours unless we are in an area where bus services are limited.

Could I please highlight this section in the rules:
Additional Notes

  • If arriving by bus or coach then you should name the area in addition to the stop name.
I believe it is in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Having checked the relevant timetables and routes. The poster of the move from Brownshill Green maybe in a totally different location and not where the previous traveller had arrived. The 32 service is operated by Mike De Courcey Travel from Coundon Court school & college, passes the area at 15:41.

We therefore are still at Brownshill Green (the stop after Hawks Mill Lane on Browns Lane), having arrived as shown below. This is in the Coventry area.

We next board the 1201 National Express West Midlands service 7 to Brownshill Green (the stop after Hawks Mill Lane on Browns Lane) that arrives there at 1226 on Wednesday afternoon.

My apologies. As there was no exact specification of the area (and so I assumed we were in the Brownshill Green village, and that the stop I attempted to depart from was the closest listed on the De Courcey website timetables). It was a clear misunderstanding of the rules.
I'll take this aboard for next time.

(Thanks to Paul for giving me the heads up about these, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed.)
