Let's get this going again... Handforth.

HHB

 

[Ivo]

Heysham Port, although I've never really know where the "B" comes from.

SDP

 

[Eagle]

Heysham Port, although I've never really know where the "B" comes from.

Used to be Heysham Harbour.

Sandplace, I think...

NAY if so.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Newton Aycliffe


EFL

 

[Ivo]

Thank you Eagle; that would explain a lot.

EFL would surely be East Farleigh.

Next up: LPG

 

[Eagle]

Llanfairpwll

NBC

 

[Ivo]

This is where all those PTE Challenges come in, otherwise I would never have known this one. New Beckenham

FNW (Hint: The answer "First North Western" is both out-of-date and wrong.)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Farnworth.......It used to be known as Farnworth and Halshaw Moor


RNF

 

[Ivo]

Across the M6, to Rainford.

WLG

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wallasey Grove Road


WKD.......nothing to do with a certain brand of "alcopop"

 

[Ivo]

No, and it's a good thing too, but it's still in the Manchester/Merseyside area! Walkden

Away from Paul's home territory now, with this southern offering: HRM

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sounds like a lady has been to the butcher.....Harrietsham


MFA

 

[gnolife]

Morda Mawddach

WDS

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Woodlesford...............for some reason, I nearly said Widnes!!


WHG

 

[Robinson]

Westhoughton... have we had this one before?

PCN

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

This quiz has been running for over six months and there is nothing in the rules about the same station being nominated more than once

Paisley Canal

WAF
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

.

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

I hope this is of help.

Wallyford

LGJ

 

[37 418]

Loughborough Junction

Sticking with Thameslink: SPL

 

[Ivo]

SPL? I'm not aware of an SPL? Unless Scottish Premier League counts :roll:

 

[37 418]

It's actually St Pancras Low Level - it's not in use on retail systems but it does exist. Just trying to get the old brain cells working before we all start gathering the winter cobwebs!

That said, Low Level is rather fitting for the SPL [Scottish Premier League] at the moment as it's in dire straits!!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thanks for that clarification, I shall set the next clue.


SRR

 

[Ivo]

Another I don't understand: Sarn. Insert second "R" here perhaps?
