Neither the flippant nor serious answers so far have been correct.

That's an amphibian not a mammal.

Think seriously. This one's more to do with the words. It's almost cryptic, but a bit easier and more related to trivia.

As there are entrances on Rampayne Street and Lupus Street I'll suggest Ram or Wolf.

Nice thinking...but no. Think nocturnal.

As do Aardvark, Aye-aye and Bush Rat to name just three.

Badger is correct, well done. Pimlico is the only tube station not to share any letters with the word 'badger'.
Bat shares letters with other stations, like 'Oxford Circus'.

This quiz appears to be in a state of dormancy caused by the person who set the current question now being unable to give any answer to posting submissions.
I will send a PM to one of the forum quizmasters to obtain a ruling that will cover such a most unusual situation.

Actually by my reading Badger was given as the correct the answer however as nothing has happened in the past few days at all then we shall proceed with an Open Floor to get things moving again.

What current question ? Doesn't D6975 have the floor ?

There isn't a current question, the last question has been answered.

I suppose that this extract of the rules covers the fact that well over 48 hours had so elapsed.

Here's something to fill the gap...
Name three mainline stations that share names with junctions on the M6. Give the junction number.

Those three are correct. Your floor.

Since four days have now elapsed since the last correct answer was given and no new set question has been made, it appears that the above ruling comes into force.

May I take it?
Why did Mrs Thatcher visit York Railway station on February 7, 1987?

Something to do with the ECML electrickery? A certain stage had been reached I seem to recall in what passes for my mind nowadays.

Close - but I need the actual reason

Was the reason for the visit to unveil a plaque to commemorate the installation of the 12000th catenary mast during the East Coast Electrication programme?

Yes, it was indeed

Thankyou!
This one shouldn't be too difficult, in January 1976 what practice did British Rail officially dispense with?

Would it be the display of headcodes?

55015 was once due for scrapping - what saved her?
Without using t'internet ... Was it because one of the designated survivors set aside for final tours keeled over and died before the final withdrawl? Bit of a stab in the dark, that, but one of my earliest railway memories was of Tuylar belting through Pokesdown station at the head of one of the final specials, followed by a bit of a car-chase in my friend's Dad's car to follow her down to Poole.
