It seems strange having a girl playing this game (not that I'm complaining)! You've breathed new life into it :)

Paul's code is Salford Central.

I was beginning to think that Yeovil had an extra railway edifice constructed and given a new code overnight...:D

You mean you didn't know? It was built close to Huish Park, where Yeovil Town play...

...no, wait, I made that up.

Is SVW valid for this thread? Silvertown has been closed for over 5 years...

Part of the rules for this quiz is that it must be a currently open mainline station - IE things like Oxford Circus, Weaste, The Forest, Cutty Sark, Pendleton and so on aren't permitted.

The rules are as follows

1) The code must be from a station in Great Britain.

2) You may only post a new code if you get the previous code (unless somebody passes on their turn). It must be in capital letters.

3) The code has to be the proper station one as listed by National Rail. You can't just make it up as you go along.

This is from the rules as posted on the very first posting on this quiz thread, which is all that new members can refer to. The normal procedure on any of the quizzes on the quiz forum is that if a rules amendment is made, the original rules are suitably amended to reflect this.

It seems we have had a few problems with this thread, so I'd just like to remind everyone:

1) Please only use station codes officially used by National Rail.

2) Post the codes exactly as they appear on the NR planner.

3) Up until now, things have been a little haywire, with codes being used from just about every heavy and light rail system in the country. I appreciate that it has been this way from the beginning, but I think we need to be a little more strict about what we are using. Therefore, I'd like to ask that henceforth we only use codes from the mainline (eg: Great Northern, ECML, WCML) and the London Underground....... No more codes from Metro and tram systems (eg: T&W, Manchester Metrolink).

4) Finally, only use codes from the UK. I don't think we have had any foreign codes posted, but this is just a reminder.

I'm really glad this game has continued for so long and I hope it can continue to do so. Hopefully, this new criteria will make the game better for everyone.

If you have any problems, please feel free to PM me.
