I have a feeling that this quiz is nearing the end of its life, so I have prepared a very short leg on the Sutherland and Caithness Railway from the open station at Helmsdale to the open station at Wick (running in a northerly direction). (Note...It does NOT include the short branch to Thurso with its one and and only closed station at Hoy)

The first station will be......


Salzcraggie Platform

 

[Welshman]

Borrobol Platform

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Halkirk

 

[Welshman]

Bower

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Watten


Who will have the honour of making the final posting...?

 

[ole man]

That would be Bilbster!!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

It is indeed...I hope all of you enjoyed that short last leg. I would have been hard-pressed to find one much further north!!

The future of this quiz in now in your hands.
