Manchester Victoria is also a six platform station.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Manchester Piccadilly, also has interchange with Manchester Metrolink

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

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).

Perhaps this extract of the rules of this quiz will be useful to new contestants.
