ECW, or East Cowes (or possibly East Horses), is not considered to be a valid code for this game, because it is not a station.

Sorry, I presumed as we have used codes for bus destinations like oakhampton that east Cowes would be vaid. I shall say BNS instead :)

Those sorts of codes got banned after I went through a phase of using the Manchester Metrolink line codes for these. Incidentally, Okehampton still gets train service, just not a very good one (three services on summer Sundays only IIRC)

All railway stations in Great Britain have three letter alpha codes. They can be listed on timetables, departure boards, station information services and used on the online journey planners.

The rules are as follows

1) The code must be from a railway 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.

This extract from the rules of this quiz should be useful for new contestants.
