KISS?

Good guess, and you're on the right lines, but not quite!

 

[Tester]

Good guess, and you're on the right lines, but not quite!

SMILE

 

[D1511]

SMILE

Again, close, and you're thinking correctly! Not quite though.

I'd suggest this flirt-related action comes somewhere between a smile and a kiss

Ah yes - WINK

 

[D1511]

Ah yes - WINK

Well worked out! That's correct!

What fun! - I shudder to think what the next one will be

Open floor.....

 

[A S Leib]

Which vehicle appeared at the Greatest Gathering because it was being repaired at Litchurch Lane at the time?

 

[A S Leib]

As a clue given that there haven't yet been any guesses, it didn't have far to travel.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Was this one of those class 221 carriages?

 

[A S Leib]

That isn't the one I'm thinking of.

 

[Whistler40145]

Is it modern or Heritage?

 

[A S Leib]

Modern.

Another clue is that "vehicle" rather than "train" was deliberate.

 

[Whistler40145]

Class 90 repainted in a one off livery?

 

[A S Leib]

No.

 

[xotGD]

A track machine?

 

[A S Leib]

Not that either.

 

[xotGD]

A yellow coach normally part of a test train.

 

[A S Leib]

No, something which you'd expect to see on streets more frequently than that.

 

[D6130]

A tramcar?

 

[DavidT026Indy]

The nottingham tram

 

[A S Leib]

A tramcar?

The nottingham tram

The Nottingham tram's specific enough that I'll count the latter as the correct answer (No 207, being a bit more specific).

 

[DavidT026Indy]

How did shawford station make the news in november 2000?

 

[xotGD]

Royal train visit?

 

[DerekC]

It's in my part of the world - didn't Victor Meldrew of One Foot in the Grave die there in the final episode?

 

[DavidT026Indy]

It's in my part of the world - didn't Victor Meldrew of One Foot in the Grave die there in the final episode?

Correct answer he was killed outside the station and next day flowers were laid outisde the station

 

[DerekC]

OK - sticking with a media theme. The Buster Keaton silent film The General was made in 1926. It relayed (with considerable embellishment) the story of a real event in the American Civil War which occurred mostly in the state of Georgia. But in which state was it filmed?

 

[xotGD]

California

 

[DerekC]

California

Not California, but you are in the right area. Where might they have found a railway sufficiently old-fashioned?

 

[D6130]

Colorado?

 

[DerekC]

Colorado?

Not Colorado! But you can get onto the Trail from there, I think.
