The Sunday Quickfire quiz! (Closed)

[Root]

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

8 pm Sunday it is!

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.

Somehow I knew this question was up to debate! Next time I'll research and word my questions better!

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.

My answer took into account "island platforms"

[moley]

It is in deed the difference between platforms and platform faces.

I'd have thought that the most obvious meaning is one where an island platform corresponds to two "platforms".

[Starkey7]

Which Poland makes a big distinction between, while we don't. Or is it vice versa...

[Going Underground]

The quiz will be delayed until 10pm

I need to find something to do now for 2 hours

[The Raven]

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!

[Sam]

Not sure funny is the word I would use. More like wrong!

[Going Underground]

Hilarious.. take your time make it 2215 if you like I have to pick Jamie up from Staines just before 2200

I think this quiz is going to have to wait until a time when we're all actually awake.
