Spot on, over to you

 

[Whistler40145]

What's London's least used railway station?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Sudbury & Harrow (excluding underground stations)

 

[Whistler40145]

Quite correct.

Please set another.

 

[Ash Bridge]

What station is situated furthest west on the UK national network? (This obviously excludes Ireland)

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Is it Mallaig?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Afraid not.

 

[Whistler40145]

Holyhead?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Incorrect.

 

[Whistler40145]

Penzance?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Let's try Morar although I'm not confident that the line loops west slightly before reaching Mallaig.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Still incorrect.

Penzance?

Also incorrect.

 

[Whistler40145]

Fishguard Harbour?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Now I'm really scratching my head unless there's some obscure.... hang on.... are some of the ferries counted as being part of the national network? Castlebay, from Oban.



Yeah, I know, incorrect!:roll:

 

[Ash Bridge]

Sorry,still incorrect.

 

[Whistler40145]

Can we have a small clue

 

[Ash Bridge]

Sorry Peter.

Err... White sand beaches, azure blue water. ( think that rules out Blackpool)

 

[Whistler40145]

St Ives

 

[Ash Bridge]

Sorry Tim.

 

[Whistler40145]

Is it down in this area of the country?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I just checked out of curiosity and Mallaig = 5.831°W; I can't find any other station further west than that on the mainland! So I'm at a total loss.

 

[Whistler40145]

Does excluding Ireland mean just Eire?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Is it down in this area of the country?

No, head further North!

Peter, you have been so close, can't say any more!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

D'oh - Arisaig!


5.8425°W

Open floor....

 

[Ash Bridge]

Does excluding Ireland mean just Eire?

No, mainland Britain only.

Full marks Peter, you may sleep well after that

It would appear that OPEN FLOOR was declared by Peter Mugridge, so can someone set the next conundrum.

 

[southern442]

Which DfT category C1 terminus station has four services along four different routes into London?

 

[Ash Bridge]

St. Pancras?

EMT
Eurostar
South Eastern
First Capital Connect

 

[steamybrian]

Kings Cross has-

Grand Central
Hull Trains
East Coast
First Capital Connect

 

[southern442]

I might need to make the question more clear, sorry everyone.

Hint 1: The station is outside London, as there are four different services along four separate (for at least some part of the journey) railway lines.

Hint 2: The station is a DfT category C1 (City or busy junction). Kings Cross and St. Pancras are category A (National hub)

Hint 3: All services that pass through this station terminate there.
