[DasLunatic]

Has Gatwick Airport been played yet?
It hasn't - next station is Battersea Park

 

[AndrewR232]

London Victoria

 

[DasLunatic]

East Croydon- I'm fairly certain there is an express which only calls there before Brighton

 

[backontrack]

Gatwick Airport

 

[DasLunatic]

Horley

 

[backontrack]

Salfords (Surrey), I'll give you this one.

 

[DasLunatic]

Earlswood - a win.



We start the next leg at the home of a certain I. Poole - Rugeley Town.

 

[backontrack]

So where does the next leg begin?

[Xenophon PCDGS]

[DasLunatic]

Bloxwich North

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bloxwich

 

[backontrack]

Walsall

Any bonuses (boni?) possible here?

 

[DasLunatic]

Are there still direct trains to Wolverhampton?

 

[backontrack]

While we're in the area, I may as well mention that the first ever winning answer in The Next Station Is...! was Duddeston. That leg started at Class172's local station of Droitwich Spa.

Wikipedia has conflicting sources. It says that the Walsall-Wolverhampton Line currently has no scheduled services, but also that there's one parly train from Wolverhampton to Walsall and one from Bescot Stadium to Wolverhampton, running via a spur from this line.

Either way, neither of these run from Walsall, so the next station should be the aforementioned Stadium.

I do so concur with what you say above.

Can someone with any query now come forward to let the game progess

 

[DasLunatic]

Using backontrack's aforementioned comment, the next station is Wolverhampton.

 

[backontrack]

Penkridge station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stafford

 

[backontrack]

London Euston

 

[AndrewR232]

Preston (on the 1630 to Glasgow Central)

 

[backontrack]

Carlisle

 

[AndrewR232]

Is there a service running direct from Preston to Carlisle?

 

[backontrack]

I think so.

 

[Quakkerillo]

I can see the Caledonian Sleeper to Inverness/Aberdeen/Fort William doing that non-stop.

So I think we can go to Armathwaite
