1. Which toc operate into the most London Termini + how many?

FCC? King's Cross, St. Pancras, Blackfriars, Moorgate & London Bridge?

EDIT: Or is it SouthEastern, with Charing Cross, Cannon Street, Victoria, Blackfriars, and, at the moment, Kentish Town (they do turn round there!) and St. Pancras (where they'll turn round soon!).

2.Which of the four major LONDON airports have the most toc's serving it, and how many?

Gatwick? FCC, Southern, Gatwick Express (Southern), and FGW?

3.Which is the only ISLAND to be connected to England by rail?

The Isle of Sheppey?

 

[westcoaster]

1. X
2+3 correct.

 

[EM2]

What about the Isle Of Thanet?

 

[westcoaster]

indeed it is southeastern with 6. only one missinf London Bridge.

 

[dan_atki]

Although if we're going by the fare group 'London Terminals' then FCC serve 7 .

 

[westcoaster]

4. how many platforms are there at London Bridge?

VI: Which London Terminus is a station that people wouldn't want to be seen using even if they were Dead? hock:

 

[Techniquest]

That's a damn fine question, got the grey matter ticking over on it! I did immediately think of Euston, I suspect it may be wrong.

London necropolis per chance?

 

[Broken Viking]

London Necropolis per chance?

Coming from me, where else could it be? :razz:

5. Termini without changing ends? None by definition as to change ends you would need to work in a loop, as in Kennington, of which, as far as I am aware, there are no such stations on BR.
Bedford-Bletchley and the Dudding Hill branch aren't electrified, so the only termini north of the Thames Thameslink services could terminate at are St Pancras and Moorgate if there is still public access. A diesel train could terminate at Euston (via Bletchley), Victoria via Dudding Hill. I am sure you could get to any of the BR termini via convoluted routes without reversal.
Non terminal stations within London they could terminate at are Kentish Town, City Thameslink, and if it is in London Radlett. West Hampsted has a crossover but I doubt it is signalled.

 

[westcoaster]

Ill give you VICTORIA that's one , the rout would be via blackfriars / elephant and castle / brixton / victoria.

 

[westcoaster]

the answer's to question 5 are Cannon street ( via blackfriars and metropolitain junc- metropolitain reversable - cannon st)and charing cross (blackfriars- tulse hill - crystal palace- sydenham- london bridge - charing cross)

6. How many platforms are there at Portsmouth harbour

 

[clagmonster]

Ah yes, didn't think of branching off on the Southern. D'oh!
Portsmouth Harbough has 4 platforms, plus one disused.

London Bridge via Norwood Jct, W. Croydon, Sutton, St.Helier, Wimbledon, Streatham, Tulse Hill, Peckham Rye, London Bridge

Victoria - Clapham Jct., Balham, Norbury, Selhurst, W.croydon, Sutton, Wimbledon, Streatham, Tulse Hill, Hearn Hill, Victoria
