Good one, but ISTR that railway associations are not permitted in this game.

As per #38,818

On reflection, the idea of this game is to make comparisons and associations between settlements. The idea of Station Associations is to explicitly make comparisons and associations between railway stations.

Reading back to 2011/12, the sprit of the game has been to minimise overlap between the two games. Generic railway associations are allowed, and examples exist from the start, what we wish to avoid here is comparing train stations as that lays specifically in the other game.

I think that rule was slightly relaxed.

Fair enough! My memory is not as good as it used to be in my younger days.

I think that rule was slightly relaxed.

I have a feeling if relaxations to existing quiz thread rules are made, the forum quizmaster panel would make an entry in the rules section so that thread contributors do not make non-conforming posting submissions in the future times.

Assuming that Aughnacloy remains the last correct entry, I'll continue as follows:

The town is served by Bus Eireann Expressway Route 32, connecting the town to both Dublin and Letterkenny. The stop immediately before Aughnacloy on the route from Dublin is Emyvale, where it stops at the Scarna Inn.

Leyland in Lancashire also has historical links to vehicle manufacturing.

St Mary's Catholic Church, Leyland, was built between 1962 to 1964 and replaced a smaller church built in 1854. It was designed by Jerzy Faczyński (1917 - 1994), who was a Polish soldier, architect and artist. Another of his works is St Ambrose's Church, Speke, built between 1959 and 1961, when he was working for the architectural firm of Weightman and Bullen.
