You don't state which Bentley it is! This is Bentley on the Alton line in Hampshire! ;)

BYK is Bentley near Doncaster.

XRD is not valid, as it has to be a national rail station, excluding bus links, light rail, underground (except where NR services also call, like Canary Wharf), or other non-rail links. This bars all of the X?? codes. This was explicitly stated in a post a while back, but was never added to the OP

It seems we have had a few problems with this thread, so I'd just like to remind everyone:

1) Please only use station codes officially used by National Rail.

2) Post the codes exactly as they appear on the NR planner.

3) Up until now, things have been a little haywire, with codes being used from just about every heavy and light rail system in the country. I appreciate that it has been this way from the beginning, but I think we need to be a little more strict about what we are using. Therefore, I'd like to ask that henceforth we only use codes from the mainline (eg: Great Northern, ECML, WCML) and the London Underground. No more codes from Metro and tram systems (eg: T&W, Manchester Metrolink).

4) Finally, only use codes from the UK. I don't think we have had any foreign codes posted, but this is just a reminder.

I'm really glad this game has continued for so long and I hope it can continue to do so. Hopefully, this new criteria will make the game better for everyone.

If you have any problems, please feel free to PM me.

In response to a recent query on the rules, the quote above is posting # 886 dated 26th September 2011 that was made by HST Power who set up the quiz.

Fortunately, at the time, I kept a note of the rules update posting and whilst it is unfortunate that the rules clarification was not added to the original rules, most of "the regulars" are aware that a previous clarification had been made. However the position with London Underground is made in the rules clarification.

Just to keep matters moving, XRD is Ryde Hoverport.
