No 5 is Snaith. Tried a quick visit once - but although the train stopped as per timetable, the doors weren't unlocked....

2 is Plockton

Yes, beautiful place.

I reckoned you could hardly have got Breich into this quiz - not any more - so had to look a little further.

1. Just three direct trains per day, Monday to Friday, from "X" to "Y" - at 05:59, 06:23 and 07:01.  And just 2 back from "Y" to "X" at 19:18 and 19:38.  "X" and "Y" are in the same county; you can travel between them at other times of day, but have to double back outside the county.

3. Trains leave from this terminal platform only at at 08:16, 08:36, 15:28 and 15:46 on Mondays to Fridays. On Saturday they're at 08:33, 09:21, 15:25 and 15:46.  No service at all on Sundays at the moment.

4. After a journey of an hour, a train from a city calls at 06:06. Local calls at 06:37 and 18:59, then a 19:14 service back to the city.

6. 08:25, 18:40, 20:40, 21:40, 22:36 and 23:32 inbound, 16:23, 17:25, 19:27 and 21:30 outbound. Similar service on Saturday; fewer evening trains but more daytime trains on Sunday.
