Re: Rare Entries XVI - Train Stations
I shall say I originally went for International Airport station for Question 5. I then said Rhoose Cardiff International Airport, and wanted to change it to Cardiff Queen Street.
I am now posting this as the scores aren't up but the quiz has closed!

You should work for London Overground. They love to pretend they're not National Rail.

Completely incorrect. Yes, they're part of TfL, but they're subject to the National Rail conditions of carriage.Tube Geek wrote:But technically they're not, as LO is run by TfL, not NRtractakid wrote:You should work for London Overground. They love to pretend they're not National Rail.
See this page. Listed in both the National Rail operators list and the TfL list.

Lastly, National Rail don't run any trains...
