Chris,
Sure, you can join a table multiple times. You're missing a FROM clause
and you seem to put column names where table names or aliases ought to
be. Is this ...
SELECT
tlb1.DepartureLocation AS Departure,
tbl1.DepartureLocation AS Destination
FROM tbl1
LEFT JOIN tbl2 ON tbl2.DepartureID=tlb1.LocationID
LEFT JOIN tbl2 ON tbl2.ArrivalID=tbl1.LocationID
ORDER BY tbl2.Time;
what you mean?
