I think that you have fallen foul of the differentiation that exists between the Settlement Association quiz...and this particular quiz....with your posting above.

 

[backontrack]

Well, they're both stations in the London Borough of Camden. I understand that you may have wanted a link concerning the stations themselves rather than their location, but it still true that they are linked this way.

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).

So I'll start off with Gatwick Airport, and someone will reply with another station which has something in common with Gatwick Airport.

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

These are the rules of the quiz and the very reason why both Ivo and I set up the Settlement Association Quiz so very long ago, as an offshoot of this quiz, was that similar non railway-related postings to this one now being queried were being made.

However, pedantry must not be allowed to hold up the quiz so using your posting of Kentish Town, I will respond with......
