National Rail Where am I?
On the blessing of Tubeguru I'm now hiding at a National Rail station, and you've as long as it takes to find me at a moderately major "interesting" station somewhere outside of Greater London.

Re: National Rail Where am I?

So...
...are you at a station whose name starts with a vowel?

I'll just add that for any such directional question, Google Maps will be used as the judge.

Re: National Rail Where am I?
Does your station have a direct service to London?

Re: National Rail Where am I?
In answering this question I'll assume that you mean "direct trains fulfilling a regularly timetabled service to a station which would satisfy the "London All Stations" grouping.greatkingrat wrote:Does your station have a direct service to London?
In which case, no. (Answer 6)

Request for clarification (I don't think this should be counted as an additional question in the quiz)Mitchell&BrownLook wrote:No I am not. (Answer 1)garion24wales wrote:Are you on the WCML?
So, in your definition of West Coast Main Line, are you including these "branch lines"?Wikipedia wrote:Network Rail, successor from 2001 to Railtrack plc, in its business plan published in April 2006, has divided the national network into 26 'Routes' for planning, maintenance and operational purposes. Route 18 is named as 'that part of the West Coast Main Line that runs between London Euston and Carstairs Junction' although it also includes several branch lines that had not previously been considered part of the WCML.

Re: National Rail Where am I?
No I was not including these branch lines as I assumed that the WCML was a single line (or a series of parallel lines sic) and not including branch lines from it. As I believe that most people would have assumed the same as me, I believe my original answer should stand.

Yes I am Matt. Fabulous use of extrapolating also noted, as I'm sure John will too. (Answer 7)scrxisi wrote:Are you south of the Carlisle-Newcastle line, extrapolating due West and East to the coastline from it's ends?
