Birmingham - the airport moved it's main terminal to serve the station rather than the station being built to serve the terminal?

You've almost got it. The answer is Birmingham and the reason IS rail station related.

The station isn't named Airport?

Which rail-related detective novel was published in Portugal under the title O Estranho Caso da Velha Curiosa? English title and author please!

My Portugese is a tad rusty but it translates, I think, as the Strange Case of the Curious Old Woman. I reckon that must be a Miss Marple mystery and the only rail related tale featuring her that I can think of is the 4:50 from Paddington.

As it has been 5 days since the question was posed and 4 days since Spamcan provided the correct answer. (Research indicates)
May I suggest that we hand the floor to him to set another question? If only to prevent this thread which is providing so much entertainment for so many, from dropping off the bottom of the forum and being closed.

Just to keep matters on courtesy terms, I have sent a PM to one of our forum quizmasters in order that adjudication can be officially given.

I'm back. Sorry if that's caused problems regarding the quiz. If I may be so bold as to set the next question.
Name the four circuits to have hosted the British F1 Grand Prix.

Sincere apologies for not replying to Spamcam's correct answer: I thought I had, but I evidently hadn't and, as Paul surmised, I've been away.

Which song has the lyrics:
"Take a cruise to China or a train to Spain
Go round the world again and again"
and who were the performing artists?
