That’s it, over to you

 

[RJ21]

Took a bit of working out, I'd never modified the ORR tables to include station categories, now I have.

Next station.

Clue 1: This station has two platforms.

 

[A Challenge]

City Thameslink?

 

[DanTrain]

To be honest, I was suprised Farringon was only category E, that's mainly why I did it!

Musselburgh?

 

[A Challenge]

I assumed for that reason the station wasn't London group!

 

[DanTrain]

I assumed for that reason it wasn't London group!

Oops It isn't! I should really fact check these! I just assumed it was 'London Farringdon', but it isn't. To add to the confusion, everything else on the core is in the London stations group.

 

[A Challenge]

Why is Farringdon not London Group?

 

[DanTrain]

Why is Farringdon not London Group?

Don't ask me! Station groups seem a bit arbitary in places anyway. Getting off 'topic' though a bit!

 

[RJ21]

According to the ORR tables it's included in the London stations group, some interesting groups in there, and some you'd expect to be in a group have nothing against them.

Clue 2: This station is served by Northern.
