Well, taking the easiest one first: number 3 is Bedminster - the classic 'delayed XC westbound overtaking FGW westbound' manoeuvre! ::) Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle - Edition 4 Post by: thetrout on November 12, 2009, 18:13:54 Spot on... ;) a procedure I used to be all too familiar with... More irritating though when sat an that bluddy XC Service waiting for the FGW Slow Service to get out of the way at Yatton/W-S-M... Stop, Start, Stop, Start which in turn = Approx 35 mins late at Taunton >:(

Well #7 I can get to in 1 Change from Westbury but it wouldn't be the most obvious route, yet is still valid on a NOT LONDON ticket ;) Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle - Edition 4 Post by: JayMac on November 13, 2009, 20:55:26 7.
