An extract from the quiz rules.

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 Gaelic 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.

I am wondering if the rules that govern the Bilingual Stations Game have accidentally been misconstrued, as some postings submissions on "The next station is" quiz have the correct English wording which tallies with what is said above, but then also an entry in a different language immediately following it also appears in the same posting.

Can we have an adjudication in order that this matter can be clarified.

Nothing has changed to this quiz, there is no need for the posting to be also made in another language; as long as the meaning is clear and the English spelling is clear and present I see no problem, nor a need for adjudication, to be made at this stage. It is, however, worth noting that if an individual choses to post in multiple languages, it is imperative that the same station is referred to in both languages.

Well, I might refrain from doing it so much. However, you can rest assured that all my Scottish Gaelic is correct. ;)
