In the video for question one, why are you saying "Chalfont and Lantimer"?

Cos I have a habit of calling things by the wrong name!

Like calling stations "Hairy Green Legs" and "Edware"

Now the actual quiz is over, I can explain that the reason that Tubeguru's 'anagram' wasn't an anagram was that anagrams are when the letters of a word (or words) are rearranged to form another word (or words). Therefore, a suitable anagram would be 'aquamarines a thong insist', although it does work better if the anagram actually makes sense...
Attempts: 2 (17h38m, 238 stations) (unknown, 200 stations); Completions: 0; GWR: 0; PBs: 0.

My bad. The only thing that's bugging me about this week's quiz is the use of "termini".

Because It is a terminus for a load of services as well as having through platforms for the Southeastern services into London Charing Cross (via Waterloo East) and London Canon Street/Blackfriars. If you stand on the country end of the through platforms, you can see the train shed for the main terminus platforms served by Southern. Its also classed as a terminus on NR tickets (Tickets with London Terminals are valid at London Bridge). I read on Wikipedia years ago that "trains to Charing Cross have the unusual feature of passing through a London terminus station" or something along those lines.

You're missing the point - termini is the plural of terminus, I'm pretty sure that tubeguru was referring to the grammar, not the fact that London Bridge is not a terminus...
