I like your idea, DasLunatic. About the anagrams with parts of the stations name highlighted. Continue with that.

No, do NOT continue with that. Trying to decipher station names from anagrams for those who are posting on mobile devices is not easy - that's why we ask that station names are posted in full as they appear in timetables, in English, and in bold, to make it easy for everyone. From Rule 1:

When submitting a station, you must use the full station name. All entries on this quiz must be in the English version of the station name, as those in the Welsh or Scottish Gallic spelling can be confusing to other contestants, who may not know where a correct answer has been given. If there is only one name, officially recognised by National Rail Enquiries, then this should be used. All entries should be easily distinguishable from any other text to avoid confusion, by either bold typeface or leaving an empty line either side.

If you wish to start a different game, then one of the Quizmasters should be contacted.

I completely concur with what our adjudicator Darren R has to say upon this matter.

This will be my final posting until I return from holiday in West Sussex on 8th May and I appeal to all contestants to remember this is a scoring quiz with an official scorer, who has to check each posting. The rules are clear enough on the matter of contestants using the correct station name that is officially recognised by National Rail Enquiries.

Kindly desist from occurrences of silly ways of naming stations that have occurred this evening and ensure that the game is played in a mature and sensible way.

Adjudicators can monitor matters without making postings and there are four adjudicators to this game. Darren R is one of the adjudicators and has this evening made a posting of some concern on how matters are suffering because certain contestants have taken it upon themselves to play the game in a way they feel amusing, but totally against both the sprit of the game and more importantly, the rules that are shown on the very first posting of this quiz so all I can do is to reiterate all that Darren R has said in his posting.

Can someone post which station we are at? As a sufferer of dyspraxia, I can get confused if station names are mixed up or not clear. Hence the idea of clear, bold type.

This game has been going for 4 and a half years with the same basic principles!

For multiple languages, if you know it, then feel free to put it as long as the english is there first I don't mind!

Personally, I think that sometimes posters should check that they know where they are more often.
