Did it rescue a Shed?!

No

Are you referring to the "Bone Breaker" railtour, in which someone broke their leg when the train collided with bufferstops at Walton-on-the-Naze?

DasLunatic is DasWinner

The floor is yours

 

[DasLunatic]

Which signal box's name appears on an HST?

 

[NoMorePacers]

Didcot Railway Centre

Reading Panel Signal Box

 

[DasLunatic]

So it does. Care to name the other two?

(You've got the floor anyways)

 

[NoMorePacers]

Of what?

 

[DasLunatic]

Never mind.

 

[NoMorePacers]

Ok then.

What do Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and Liverpool South Parkway have in common?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Both stations I have yet to visit

 

[backontrack]

Short platforms?

 

[NoMorePacers]

WHAT? How did you...
Backontrack, your floor.

 

[backontrack]

Meh, lucky guess. But it's ironic that somewhere like Llanfair PG has such short platforms.

Question in a minute.

Where could, until recently, one have an exceedingly long sit?

 

[kevconnor]

quite a number of stations on The Waverley Line waiting for the next train.

Request clarification on question...

 

[trainmania100]

Anywhere on the southeastern network

Balcombe very few trains call there

...but, unfortunately, no.

Not Balcombe, and for many places in the north, Southeastern frequencies/delays are luxury. I'll give you a clue:

The 'sit' is not equivalent to 'wait'.

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Scarborough

 

[backontrack]

Nope, why?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Nope, why?

I thought Scarborough as well on account of it having the longest bench.

 

[krus_aragon]

As an alternative, how about the oldest railway bench?

Not that I'd have an idea which bench that'd be...

Would I be right in thinking SIT is in actual fact some kind of anacronym?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Something like "Security Incident Tracking" ?

 

[backontrack]

Well, you can still sit on that bench. The clue was:

Where, until recently, could one have an exceedingly long sit?


...meaning that it can't be Scarborough.

No.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Is the word "exceedingly" a hint that the answer somehow involves the Mr Kipling bakery?

Their factory is at Barnsley, therefore I will enter "Barnsley" as my next suggestion.

Actually, it's not. And Barnsley is incorrect.

Clue: think about the past tense

 

[kevconnor]

Has anyone suggested Newhaven Marine or 442's as the answer yet?

 

[DaleCooper]

On the Orient Express?

 

[backontrack]

Neither of those.

 

[kevconnor]

Any chance of any further clues with this one?

 

[backontrack]

I'm referring to benches.

 

[BurtonM]

Manchester Piccadilly? It's never closed.
