Oh. Were you expecting me to put Heald Green or Styal or somewhere like that?

Not really sure what I was thinking about there...

[Robinson]

Sandwell and Dudley (I'm hoping ATW don't stop there...)

This station is managed by an Arriva ToC

When we played this game in person at the South West Forum meal in Bristol, thanks mainly to SickyNicky Sugar Loaf Halt effectively substituted for Derby Road as the game's "gag" location

 

[Ivo]

Southend East

Clue 1: This station has 2 platforms.

I never knew that Paisley had been a through line

Anyway, Twerp.

I knew that would happen

(In other words, you've just got it in 1...)

Maybe I should "invite" gnolife to Southend. Maybe he would appreciate a "tour" of the area

Hopefully if ollieb starts playing this game for real he'll choose Bristol TM again and let me get an easy 15
