Whitland

Mon Rois?

 

[bradford758]

Whitland

Mon Rois?

Montrose.

Easy one for you:

Y Fenni.

 

[Calthrop]

Y Fenni.

I keep wanting this one to be Aberllefenni -- northern passenger terminus of the Corris Railway. However, since this quiz is about present-day stations with passenger service, and we're not living ninety years ago -- that can't be it.

Let me try Abergavenny

If correct.....Drochaid Urchaidh

 

[backontrack]

Bridge of Orchy?

If so, then try Aiseag a' Chonghail

 

[Francis]

That's a tricky one! Connel Ferry. Difficult because you remember you've seen these signs somewhere on your travels, but how to track them down.....?

An Eochair (clue: eochair meaning a river bank)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yoker


An Inse

 

[Francis]

Inse is apparently a water meadow.
I thought it might be Insch but checking that up it's An Innis.

 

[hurricanemk1c]

Yoker


An Inse

Laytown

Cúil an tSúdaire

 

[Francis]

Portarlington (the Tanner's Nook) change for Galway (or Cork)

I'll give you Comar nan Allt

 

[Railsigns]

If so, then try Aiseag a' Chonghail

Rendered as Aiseag na Coingheil on the current station signage [Connel Ferry].

 

[backontrack]

Comar nan Allt is Cumbernauld, isn't it?

If that's right, then try Dail Mhàilidh

 

[Francis]

Yes, you got Cumbernauld correct.

And took a trip to Dalmally.

Now try Loch Garman

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wexford


Logh

 

[NYCSubway137]

Neath

Noeath???

 

[backontrack]

Neath

Noeath???

I think you've misunderstood the game.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Neath

Noeath???

Logh is not Neath.

Can someone else try to solve this one that I had set in my posting.

 

[Robinson]

Looe

Baile Ùr na h-Aibhne

Tobar Adaidh

 

[backontrack]

Addiewell

Na Seots

Durlas

 

[AlterEgo]

Thurles (Ireland).

Doire.

 

[hurricanemk1c]

Technically no such station as it is in Northern Ireland (although it is in the PA system for the ICR fleet), it being Derry / Londonderry

An Ráth

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Technically no such station as it is in Northern Ireland (although it is in the PA system for the ICR fleet), it being Derry / Londonderry

I did ask such a query concerning stations in Northern Ireland on my posting # 4 in the very early days of the quiz and a forum quizmaster answered it on posting # 5.

 

[Francis]

An Rath = Charleville. Co. Cork

Drochaid a'Bhanna

 

[jonathananders]

Aviemore

How about this one


Partaig

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Can I call a halt.....

Is not Aviemore called An Aghaidh Mhor?

Partaig is Partick

Drochaid a'Bhanna

This is one with a twist in the tail. The originally named station of Bonar Bridge which was opened on 28th July 1874 was renamed Ardgay on 2nd May 1977.
