Trains only call at Dunrobin Castle during the summer timetable.

Will that station be allowed to be used in "real-time" comparisons, once the summer timetable becomes effective, to this quiz, as is the case with the "real-time" station refurbishment closure programmes (Liverpool Central, Cosford, etc)

My opinion is that it should be, alon with Hellifield-Clitheroe, during the course of the summer timetable only.

An extract from the current rules

2. You can use any line that has a passenger service at least weekly (not every 3rd Monday etc). ......Fast services are allowed, subject to rule 4.

Now you see my worry about this. "At least weekly" signifies a 52-week operation. No services at all run during the winter timetable.

A full confirmation and adjudication is therefore requested with regard to "summer-only" services.

Absolutely, I think it will come down to the majority view from the regulars. During the course of the relevent timetable, my interpretation is that such lines have an 'at least weekly service'. When I have made objections to them in the past, it has been winter.

I seem to have messed up. Fortunately it wasn't valid, as everything which misses Culrain also misses Invershin.

We hardly have any queries, so I suppose it is better to have them all come up at the same time.

Do I take it that you have made this adjudication now, as if this is the case, it must be entered into the printed rules on the first posting of the thread.



Now, as they used to hear at Mission Control at NASA...."Houston, we have a problem."...... I posted Invershin, then you posted Ardgay....

What will happen if, as I am actually now doing, make a posting of....Culrain

I have never travelled on the Far North line, so wouldn't have known if there were any odd stopping patterns...
