This is stop named as just Mansfield on Google maps but I think it's the Bus Station

Unfortunately the minimum connection time at Nottingham is 10 minutes, so this move cannot be made.

Minimum connection time at Nottingham is 8 minutes.

BR Times quotes it as 10 minutes, but in either event the 2341 departure cannot be used.

Next we take the 0717 Greater Anglia service to Shippea Hill arriving at 0726 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Golly, I don't know what happens now! Think that's it for the day here and I don't think buses are nearby, so we'll have to return in the morning for the same service 24 hours later, the 0726 Greater Anglia service 2K50 to Wymondham, arriving there at 0813 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Andy Pacer]

Blimey! I knew there was something about Shippea Hill but I honestly didn't realise there was only that one call!

Rules

• You may not re-board the service just used in the previous post

The service that has just arrived leaves in four minutes, but there is a five minute minimum connection, so does that rule out getting the 0526 service?

Note that I have an 1100 hospital appointment this morning.

I would say you can't use it as the 5 minute rule should be in place.

Similarly I will be on a plane shortly for a few hours.
