Malton is correct.

Balls. Looked at the rail atlas last night and thought that Pickering was further than the 3 miles.

 

[Mvann]

May have had this one already. This towns station has a tunnel at each end of the station area.

[Mvann]

Bangor is correct.

Nice idea but wrong kind of 'landmark'

HINT:- the second station doesn't contain the name of the town in!

 

[4SRKT]

Sheffield and Meadowhall?

 

[richard1976]

Edinburgh Waverley
Haymarket
???

 

[scotsman]

Newcastle and Metro Centre?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

All wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. All of you are in the wrong area of the country as well.

Another hint:- the second station also has a yard right next to it!

 

[madannie77]

Devonport

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Still in the wrong part of the country!

Walsall and Bescot Stadium?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Walsall and Bescot Stadium?

There you go!

Ding, ding, ding, we have a weiner!

 

[4SRKT]

Town has three stations bearing its name, plus another one within the built up area. One of the stations with the town's name is on a double track 'main line' that was reopened to passengers about 25 years ago.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

We'll try Birmingham!

 

[4SRKT]

No, but I see your reasoning. The other two stations are on a single track line.
