As everyone seems to have their Awdry hats on, I'll take the open floor to set a quickie:

Where was (is) Sodor's railway connected to the network on the mainland?

 

[DasLunatic]

Morecambe?

 

[martinsh]

Barrow in Furness

 

[krus_aragon]

Barrow in Furness

Correct. Your floor.

 

[Calthrop]

If I count rightly, 48 hours-plus have gone by, with no question set by the correct-answerer. May "open floor" be declared?

 

[NoMorePacers]

Yes..

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

As its open floor, I'll take it!

I am standing at signal VKC 1553 - where am I?

 

[NoMorePacers]

Hull.

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Hull.

No - try again

 

[NoMorePacers]

Is it on the WCML?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Is it on the WCML?

Nope.

 

[NoMorePacers]

Can you tell us what line it is on?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Can you tell us what line it is on?

Not for another 23 hours, no

 

[NoMorePacers]

Not for another 23 hours, no

What is that supposed to mean? (The 23 hours bit)

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

What is that supposed to mean? (The 23 hours bit)

A clue can only be given after 24 hours

 

[NoMorePacers]

Oh, ok. Hope you don't mind random guesses.

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Oh, ok. Hope you don't mind random guesses.

Not at all - I am sometimes bemused by them

 

[NoMorePacers]

[HMS Ark Royal]

Nope.

 

[NoMorePacers]

Ok,
Cardiff Central
Milford Haven
Llandudno Junction
Blenau Ffestiniog...? No idea how to spell that

 

[DaleCooper]

A clue can only be given after 24 hours

I think that's a convention rather than a rule.

Trespassing?

Trespassing?

True, but I like to leave it 24 hours before I give a clue

Also, incorrect - however, it did make me laugh

 

[NoMorePacers]

Not even in the right country!

Ok then:
Edinburgh Waverley
Glasgow Queen Street
Aberdeen
Ayr
Largs
Weymss Bay
Gourock
