Whoops

And I guess we could walk from there to Fareham railway station, where hopefully we are in time to catch the 1846 to Trowbridge, although not having been told when we get to the bus station I don't know.
If we are in time then we will be arriving in Trowbridge at 2015 on a Saturday evening

old above, new below

After some research it seems that there is a one minute connection from bus station to railway station...
Therefore I shall actually wait an hour, getting to Trowbridge at 2115 on a saturday eveniong

Continuing onwards by rail, we next board the 2129 FGW service to Weymouth that arrives there at 2313 on Saturday evening.

 

[higthomas]

Darn just missed the train to Bournemouth. So instead after an overnight stay we catch the 0648 to Bournemouth, arriving at 0822 on Sunday morning.

We then take the 20:32 FGW service to Portsmouth Harbour getting there at 23:54 on Sunday Evening.

You beat me to this, but mine would have said an arrival time of 2358 (checked also with NRE)

 

[transportphoto]

We await 0S00, the 0515 Wightlink service to Ryde Pier Head, arriving there 22 minutes later at 0537 this Monday morning. Welcome to the Isle of Wight.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We board the 0549 Island Line service to Shanklin that arrives there at 0612 on Monday morning.

The regulars of the previous quiz would immediately note this acceptance of the Isle of Wight. Just wait until we reach the west coast of Scotland and the plethora of Cal-Mac ferry services...

 

[transportphoto]

Correct me if I am wrong, I believe this to be the first visit of the game to the IoW, as in the previous incarnation of the game, we were not allowed to cross The Solent?

A short walk to Shanklin Bus Station means we can pick up the 0627 Go-Ahead Southern Vectis service 2 to Newport (Isle of Wight) Bus Station, arriving there at 0656 this Monday morning.

As an aside, I've stayed at the only Travelodge on the island, a short walk from here

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I thought that I had worded my footnote in a way that would have reflected what you said...

 

[transportphoto]

I hadn't seen your footnote :razz:

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next decide to visit an iconic settlement and board the 0715 Southern Vectis service 2 to Godshill (High Street) that arrives there at 0731 on Monday morning.

It comes of using the working timetable rather than the public one. Not significant in this case, but there's at least two recent moves that have breached the minimum connecting time as a result. One of them by me - partly to see if anyone noticed. They didn't.

Quite an interesting point you have raised with the WTT and the public one.

Incidentally, I wonder just what will now constitute the geographical boundaries of this new quiz, since we have already set a precedent for a ferry journey to the Isle of Wight which enables quite a number of both train and bus journeys. Will any of the following now be similarly acceptable by use of a ferry:-
Northern Ireland
Isle of Man
The Western Isles....both inner and outer
Orkney

 

[higthomas]

Then we shall get the southern vectis route 3 at 7:50 from Godshill Hollies, arriving shanklin railway station at 8:30 on a Monday morning.
