A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Bentley Arms also only gets two trains a day in each direction

Where is the station called Bentley Arrms situated ?

IBM Halt is another station with no public access.

British Steel Redcar is also situated on the grounds of a large company.

Teeside Airport

another station in the vicinity which has not been as well-used as the planners may have envisaged.

Likewise - but also in better days[as Clifton Junction] also saw through Carriages from the East Lancs Mill towns to London Euston.

Sorry, but doesn't the above posting belong to the "Settlement Association" quiz?

Drayton Park is next door to the new Arsenal football stadium. Arsenal were originally Woolwich Arsenal

Based on Welshman's comment, this is also incorrect.

I shall leave this forum immediately as it is clear that I'm not following the rules.

Sorry - no offence meant.
I just didn't see the connection in the "Station Association" quiz between Darwen station being built by the L&Y Railway and Glossop's football team.

I have had time to ponder upon this matter and I see matters as follows:-

The fact that Glossop once had a top-flight football team has no railway significance as an answer on the Station Association quiz, but is assuredly a connection worthy of the Settlement Association quiz....unless, of course, you meant that Glossop North End had supporters who used Glossop station as part of their journey to attend the football match.

Drayton Park can be an acceptable answer on the Station Association quiz, as it allows a method of rail transport to supporters attending Arsenal football matches. The same would apply to The Hawthorns in the Midlands for the self-same reason, as this station has both heavy rail and light rail transportation for supporters attending matches played at home by West Bromwich Albion.

I can see a football, rather than a railway connection as Darwen FC were members of the Football League from 1891 to 1899 and Glossop North End FC were also members of the Football League from 1898 to 1918.

However, this connection is one that you would give on the Settlement Association quiz and not the Station Association quiz.

Darwen
still remains the railway station to make the next connection with.

Paul, Welshman, I have no problem with the ruling, and I'm sorry if it came across that I did. I don't seem to get the hang of the rules about this quiz at the moment, so feel it better that I leave it rather than continually c**k it up for others. It is my own incompetence that I am raging at, not Welshman or the rules. :)

Buttsy -

I'm sorry if I over-reacted to your original comment.
Let's put it behind us, and please continue with the game - it can be fascinating. :) :)
