" said:5b: Bardon Hill?5b - No, Bardon Hill is a Leicester fringe to the Derby Sim, 5g.- No (more signals at Pitsea). 6. Correct, There are at least two other locations. Sorry for the delay - I had to download LTS to make sure Pitsea wasn't an identikit of the location I copied. Peter. Log in to reply |

" said:3. Where are the following stations:I'll say "New York", but I suspect that answer is far too obvious, and it isn't the complete name of the nearest subway station. Quote: 6. Where are there three successive stations on the national rail network starting with the same word?Manchester Airport, Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Oxford Road. I'm assuming "Llan..." doesn't count! Last edited: 03/12/2015 at 09:45 by Danny252 Log in to reply |

" said:They aren't successive though; there are stations between the airport and Piccadilly. If Deansgate was officially 'Manchester Deansgate' it would be in with a shout, but it is officially just Deansgate. Do tram stops count? We stop at Oldham King Street, Oldham Central and Oldham Mumps ![]() There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Last edited: 03/12/2015 at 10:47 by Splodge Log in to reply |

Ah, I made the mistake of assuming the service pattern reflected the station order!

3c... There was a station called Times Square on the old Merry Hill Monorail. Both of the stations which were built on to the shopping malls are still extant - so I'm going with that! (It's vaguely rail related...!) Three consecutive stations... EDIT: Whoops, I thought it said same letter... Not same word :blush: EDIT 2: You could have Exeter, if you're going on service patterns... St Thomas, St Davids, Central... They're consecutive stations, but obviously not in a single direction.

" said:Ah, I made the mistake of assuming the service pattern reflected the station order!Most TPE services run non stop between Piccadilly and the Airport, but there are local Northern services which do all stops (Maudeth Road, Burnage, East Didsbury, Gatley and Heald Green) There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.
