I think there's been a misunderstanding of my move to Ivybridge, which was made because of the reverse shunt at Newton Abbot AND the reintroduction of freight only towards Moretonhampstead not the town itself. Thus I submit that bignosemac's bustitution and what follows is outside the rules introduced in 2012 under the 'Inclusion of Substitution Exclusion (2012) Weekdays Only After 09:30' amendment.
Naturally this makes a nonsense of Graham's move to Clapham Junction and FTN's subsequent Portsmouth Arms. Sorry.

But that's only applicable where the bus substitution is a temporary feature, in order to discourage double claims on BSOG▸ . So the move stands. From Portsmouth Arms to ... Stromeferry {{Parallel Passenger rule applied for 2006/7 - 1012 tickets each}} Blast! I knew I should've opted for Eggesford. I mean, it has an airfield AND a garden cewntre!
Nope, I think Portsmouth Arms is fine. The bus used was a permanent one. I do wonder when Eggesford will become Chickenford though ... |

I think Eggesford used to be Chickenford...but I may have it the wrong way round.

My move from Ivybridge - Bath Spa I declare as Valid. There is a direct train  However due to the appalling levels of vegetarian hot food in the Buffet, I suggest a break of journey at Cullompton Services by jumping out of the droplight of a passing HST▸ ** - Don't ever do it... It would be a fast way to make a railway pizza... |

Well, that's the trouble with playing with no referee (or "moderator", in the nuclear engineering sense). I was surprised to see Graham start this at all - given the tendency of threads on this forum that start well anchored in the logosphere (where rationality prevails) to turn crescent-shaped. |

I surprised myself ... OK - without explicit exclusion, Nabb's rule is applied - the assumption being made that all rules that are not excluded are included. Having said which, this is academic as we're now stuck at Okehampton. I tried to get out using the B1 bus service but understand that ran very briefly - and we've missed the weekly visit of the mobile library to hitch a ride on that. I'm going to declare virtual Sunday so that we can move, and ask myself why I started the thread! |

Sounds attractive - but I don't think the Ellis Principle has been tested outside the Wiltshire / Bristol / Bath travel-to-work area. Okehampton commuter flows are Sundays, aren't they? |

I think you are confusing the Ellis Principle with the Ellis Prerogative - an easy mistake to make - but the effect is the same; Okehampton it is. |
