All National Rail 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 National Rail railway station in Great Britain.

Once again we find ourselves in a situation where a code has been submitted for what is most certainly NOT a National Rail railway station.

DFZ is a code for Darlfield Roundabout. Therefore it is NOT acceptable to be used as a posting on this quiz that follows the requirements of the quiz rules.

To move matters along, I shall set a new code to solve...

The rules are as follows:-

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

3) The code has to be the proper station one as listed by National Rail Enquiries.

Noting the last clue to solve was that of MFD, I cite two of the quiz rules above in relation to this posting submission and I ask that the two words National Rail are noted.

The railway station of Minffordd in North Wales has facilities for both the National Rail services (for which the correct station code is MFF) and also for the Ffestiniog Railway (which has been known to have been given a code of MFD in past days).

Therefore, the posting submission of MFD is hereby ruled to be invalid and "Open Floor" now is the situation that currently applies.
