Post 50428 was the last valid move.

Post 50428 was the last valid move.

To be fair, we did end up posting at absolutely the same so its accidentally been missed.

We can either return to Ilkley, even though we've not long been there eight moves previously on Post #50420, but that would involve crossing out the next few moves, or let it slip on this occasion.

I think a moderators ruling is called for.

 

[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.

However, in this particular instance, the "more than five moves" does not apply.

I did send a conversation within the stated 24 hour time period to the moderating team to notify them an adjudication from them was required.

Good morning,

Apologies none of us had a chance to review proceedings yesterday afternoon/evening.

I appreciate the two postings were within seconds of each other and wouldn’t have been seen. In the interests of trying to make my decision as simple as possible, I’ve gone with the one which got there first. Other posts have now been struck through.

We continue:

We next take the 11.46 First Leeds service X84 to Ilkley Bus Station arriving at 12.46 on Sunday.

 

[bnsf734]

Next bus out for a while appears to be the returning X84 so we board this and depart at 1252 on the First Leeds X84 service to Otley Bus Station where we arrive at 1321 on Sunday.

 

[RDP]

We next take the 14.30 Keighley Bus Company service 821 to Pateley Bridge, King Street arriving at 15.19 on Sunday.

We next board the 1530 Keighley Bus Company Nidderdale Dales Bus service 820 to Guiseley (White Cross on Bradford Road) that arrives there at 1629 on Sunday.

 

[RDP]

We next take the 17.29 Keighley Bus Company service 821 to Keighley Bus Station arriving at 18.05 on Sunday.

I am having difficulty in tracing a bus stop at Colne railway station. Whereabouts is it?

You've just answered your own question! Opposite Colne railway station, on Primet Bridge.

 

[RDP]

With the best part of 90 minutes until the next train and just out of range of the bus station/Market Street we take the short walk to the Crabtree Street bus stop for the 20.14 Burnley Bus Company service M6 to Burnley Bus Station arriving at 20.42 on Sunday.

Bustimes do show the Interchange at Nelson in their M3-M6 Mainline timetable, but calling all the Colne stops up in that timetable shows no mention of the railway station. Since I rely upon timetables for knowledge of areas that I am not knowledgeable about, either I use that information or do not make a posting.

With no option but to back track we next take the 21.34 Burnley Bus Company service M2 alighting at Padiham Road, Ightenhall Park Lane at 21.44 on Sunday.

[bnsf734]

[RDP]

We next take the 00.26 Metroline service 263 to Altrincham Interchange arriving at 00.57 on Monday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Time for an overnight break. We return in the morning for the 0452 Metroline service 247 to Trafford General Hospital (Bowfell Circle), arriving there at 0528 on Monday.

I have had appointments in real life at that hospital. Buses from Altrincham Interchange that serve that hospital are the 245 and the 247, but it is a long way removed from anywhere on the 263 service routing.

It is the 247 indeed. However, the timings are still the same, so bears no relevance to gameplay.

Bustimes do show the Interchange at Nelson in their M3-M6 Mainline timetable, but calling all the Colne stops up in that timetable shows no mention of the railway station. Since I rely upon timetables for knowledge of areas that I am not knowledgeable about, either I use that information or do not make a posting.

Not Nelson, the last stop in Nelson towards Colne is Thorne Street, then the next stops are The Spinning Mill, Whitewalls Drive, Philips Lane, Masons Mill, then the Railway Station, Crown Hotel, Municipal Hall, Colne Lane, and finally Market Street where the Mainline group of services terminate.

I see someone else has managed to, with perfectly capability, make a move from the railway station. It is directly opposite the railway station so I'm unsure of what you're unable to find.

We take the nine minute (0.5 mile) walk to the Moorside Road bus stop for the 05.43 Stagecoach Manchester service 23 to Stockport Interchange arriving at 06.27 on Monday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

[RDP]

We next take the 07.12 Metroline service 150 alighting at Gorton Shopping Centre at 07.45 on Monday.

 

[bnsf734]

Needing spiritual intervention we then take the 0750 205 Metroline service to West Gorton, opposite Gorton Monastery where we arrive at 0754 on Monday morning. (I never knew West Gorton had a monastery, and looking on Google appears to be an incredible place to vist!)
