Title: Amusing CRS code journeys - Quiz.
Post by: JayMac on May 16, 2023, 16:00:13
Inspired by a station I've just passed through...

CRS codes are the three letter designations given to every station on the National Rail network.

Just for fun, a little game. Give a journey between two (or more) stations whose CRS codes provide an amusing combination.

I'll start. First to answer the following should then provide the next combination - post only the full station names. Preview your post first in case someone beats you to the answer. Don't answer unless you can provide the next amusing combination.

Teeside Airport - Pontefract Tanshelf.

Are there still livestock trains between Muir of Ord and Cowdenbeath?

Teeside Airport - Pontefract Tanshelf.

Pontefract Tanshelf - Entwistle ?

You didn't give the answer to Teeside Airport - Pontefract Tanshelf.

No need to follow on also. Unless you really want to.  :P

Presumably the next thing would be Bishops Stortford to Kintbury. Am I doing this right?

Actually a trip from Cholsey to Crosskeys to Billericay to Keyham might be even better. If you have one.

Anyone for a weekend overnight journey from South Acton to Sunderland ?

Or a serious trek from Monifieth to Frinton-on-Sea via Wedgwood ?

A somewhat unfortunate journey would be from Poole to Weeley  :o I’ll get my coat.
