Although no specific rule is listed at the start of this particular quiz, taking the precedent of the Settlement Association, it would probably be good form to avoid repeating the same association within two posts (see #10782 & #10784).

And according to the NRE website and my trusty copy of Quail Track Maps, Forsinard is the location of a passing loop and has two platforms.

Point noted and whilst the rules of one quiz say something that concerned the repeat of the name of a settlement, you just cannot transpose those rules on to a different quiz.

Howsoever, I have since caused my posting to be deleted in the spirit of fair play and a kindly disposed nature.

RULES

(1).....I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible! For example I might start with Cardiff Central, the next person would reply Kings Cross (both have a platform 0) and the person after could say Gatwick Airport (another Network Rail managed major station).

(2).....Note that you should only reply with a station on the main BR network (e.g. not an Underground or a Preserved Railway) that is still open.

For those contestants who are unsure, these are the two rules that govern this quiz.
