Re: Quickfire quiz.
If I could make a suggestion for a round, it would be to have one where instead of being required to know things (or be able to look them up with a search engine), one has to work things out. A bit like question 9 in the previous round. There could be codes, sequences, cryptic clues, connections, odd ones out, that sort of thing. I'd take part in that

Re: Quickfire quiz.
There are some pedantic sods on this forum (me one!). Stations with one platform is a point that has cropped up before and argued at length.The Raven wrote:Somehow I knew this question was up to debate! Next time I'll research and word my questions better!moley wrote:Surely thats 4? Kensington Olympia. It only has 1 platform at the LU station. Yes, the NR station has 2 further platform. Otherwise the answer is 3, as Heathrow Terminal 4 also has a NR platform.

Re: The Sunday Quickfire quiz!
It is in deed the difference between platforms and platform faces.

Re: The Sunday Quickfire quiz!
I'd have thought that the most obvious meaning is one where an island platform corresponds to two "platforms".moley wrote:It is in deed the difference between platforms and platform faces.

Re: The Sunday Quickfire quiz!
We are very sorry for the delay to this service. This is due to an idiot forgetting to bring there questions with them when going for a meal out!

Re: The Sunday Quickfire quiz!
I think this quiz is going to have to wait until a time when we're all actually awake.
