The Transport Game

[ValleyLines142]

I can see both points of view. Having had a fair few invalid posts in my time, I know the frustration.
However it is a good thing that the game like Paul said is challenging, and I guess certainly when it comes to buses and their stop locations, this challenge is going to lead to some invalid moves.

I would advocate a ruling that allows, especially in big cities, a bigger sphere of movement. For example, if someone found themselves at a stop on a side street in say Birmingham and 25-50 yards away was a main road with a bus stop at that junction with the side street they are on. It could be that the main road has a wider range of bus services. It would be logical for the person to walk that very short distance to catch a bus.
So the same goes for trains, trams (The Metrolink issues we have had of late being a fine example)

I do think this is possible as long as it is not taken advantage of, and I don't think the folk who do this quiz would do such a thing.
One last point is that, to use the example above, the person under the current rules would be forbidden from walking that short distance, yet they would be able to walk several times further at a large railway or bus station to change services. Even though in both cases a 5 minute minimum connection is allowed.
Eg. Arrive Manchester Piccadilly on a 390 from London, next move is a train to Preston from platform 14.

An excellent idea. Couldn't agree more.

If the quiz team have a serious review of the quiz, then I may consider returning. In the meantime, it's just way too stressful.

I agree with Paul's comment on it being a challenge. I do like a challenge, but this is beyond a challenge and just too literal.

With regards to the rules, surely it would be best to all sit down and have a discussion on the rules with regards to how we all think they should be set out, and then seeing how it goes from there.

Noting carefully the fact that a 10 minute connection time applies here, we are fortunate to be able to make our next journey with only a short delay as we board the 1435 First ScotRail service to Perth that arrives there at 1553 on Saturday afternoon.

We are soon underway on the 16:00 First Scotrail service to Haymarket arriving there at 17:15 Saturday Afternoon

You all know my views on the matter from the recent posting that I made. I see no reason whatsoever to change the position that I hold. All I will add is that some of the quizzes are more challenging and mind-stretching than others on the Quizzes and Games Forum.

Still time to make a short stopping-service rail journey as we board the 2048 First ScotRail service to Springburn that arrives there at 2058 on Saturday evening.
