Sorry for the delay as I'd forgot all about the quiz.
What connects Paris Metro Line 1 and Athens Metro Line 1?

Complete guess, but I know some lines on the Paris Metro run on rubber tyres, so I'll try that?

Is that the Norfolk & Suffolk Joint which was joint between the Great Eastern and Midland & Great Northern Joint ?
That's the one -- joint undertaking between two which were fierce rivals in Norfolk. Came in two parts: from south of Great Yarmouth, to Lowestoft via the coast; and North Walsham -- Mundesley-on-Sea -- obliquely to Cromer and Sheringham. All rather odd.
Next question yours to set.

Oh blimey. Right.
There was a railway museum and miniature railway in Cornwall that closed at least 30 years ago. The 10 and 1/4 inch circular railway had locomotives named Humphrey Davey, Trevithick and others with local connections.
Can anyone tell me:
1) What the centre was called?
2) Whereabouts in Cornwall it was?

Mosley Heritage Museum,Redruth?
Neither of the above and in a way I’m quite pleased to have stumped you. 
A couple of clues.
This was slightly further west than the most westerly one mentioned. It was almost along the lines of a theme park (although the railway was run with live steam), at least one of the locos ended up on the Gorse Bottom Railway near Newton Abbot after the attraction closed.
