" said:" said:Danny252,3. 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. Sorry, New York would be too easy. The New York station is "Times Square-42nd Street". Heald Green and a number of other stations are located between Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport so I'm afraid that isn't correct either. Peter. Log in to reply |

" said: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!Rainbow Nines, I remember the Merry Hill Monorail, may event still have my ticket somewhere!, but the place I 'm thinking off still has trains! I'd missed Exeter Central/St Davids/St Thomas but they are consecutive so you are correct. Peter. Log in to reply |

I think there is a 15 minute minimum connection time at Glasgow Central and you have only given yourself 5 minutes. Peter. Log in to reply |
