Southend Victoria, for the pier.

 

[deltic1989]

Blackpool- another place famous for piers.

 

[Zoe]

Sorry my Southend Victoria post is void as I didn't notice Euston had been posted before me. So moving on from Euston:

Euxton, also on the WCML and one letter different.

I think I think I am going to declare Southend Victoria and subsequent stations void as London Euston was posted before.

Therefore I call the current station Glasgow Central - the other terminus for Virgin Train anglo-scottish route.

lol - and I now declare my answer as void due to Zoe's reply whilst I was typing out my last post.

Note- the double post prevention system will merge my posts , original post posted at 2006

Zoe beat me by 2 minutes. I beat you by 83 minutes. Bit of a difference

For what will almost certainly be my last before returning home for a few days, I shall choose Menheniot. A somewhat sexist choice because it has "men" in it!

 

[ainsworth74]

Zoe beat me by 2 minutes. I beat you by 83 minutes. Bit of a difference

I was referring to the post where said Walsall, in case you beat me by about 2 minutes as well But no matter the game continues!

Also I can't really think of any decent links for this one...
