Preston.

Clue 5:
Whilst this station (and the town it is in) is normally regarded as being in England, it is technically in Scotland.

 

[gnolife]

Berwick upon tweef

 

[clagmonster]

The correct answer is Doncaster. Platform 2 is rarely used for passenger services, there are regular services to London Kings Cross and Edinburgh Waverley. For the Scotish link, see: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/doncaster-...-old-administrative-error-comes-to-light.html An obscure one I know.

As far as I know, Berwick is in England.

Yes, you are right, a major faux pas on my part as I use the station regulaly. In that case, I hold my hands up to an accidental dud clue, so presumably I lose points and it is an open floor.

 

[gnolife]

Curses. I should have had that from the Station Codes game Radyr does work exactly the same way, so that was a mere lack of fortune.

Anyhow, I'm off to bed...
