Title: Upper and Lower stations Post by: grahame on March 05, 2013, 19:14:22 There are five stations with "upper" in their name, but only 3 with "lower" left that I can find (UK, main network). How many can you find?
Title: Re: Upper and Lower stations Post by: LiskeardRich on March 05, 2013, 19:32:15 I wont answer as I know them all, but as a clue the 3 letter station codes are UPH, UHL, UTY, UWL, HLU
and LSY, TYL, I have been unable to think of the 3rd, unless you go with Lowestoft or Heath Low Level, but neither are lower. Title: Re: Upper and Lower stations Post by: TonyK on March 05, 2013, 20:14:22 There are two "Nethers", if you count the Old English word for lower.

Title: Re: Upper and Lower stations Post by: LiskeardRich on March 05, 2013, 20:40:11 As it was bugging me so much for the third lower, I have just tried National Railway Enquiries, and they are only giving me the 2 I have named.
