3 Quick Questions
1) Which FGW▸ station starred(kind of) in a 2005 film? What was the film? Why did it not really star in it at all?
2) How many TOC▸ 's serve Penzance station? Name them.
3) What is the longest journey(no break) on the FGW network?
One answer each please until I say whether you're wrong or right.

Pewsey; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; it was actually filmed at a different station. |

Correct. SWT only have 1 service a week though so I thought it might catch people out. 1) Which FGW station starred(kind of) in a 2005 film? What was the film? Why did it not really star in it at all?
Pewsey; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; it was actually filmed at a different station. Yeh. It was mentioned as where the children were getting off but filmed somewhere entirely different. |

No idea what route the sleeper service takes, but could it be that?

Yeh. It just goes the normal PNZ- PAD» or reverse route but it takes all night and therefore the longest end-to-end journey. |

I think I know what the last one is, but I'll chuck in Kings Nympton and see if anyone can improve on it...

There are six stations later than King's Nympton I thing (yeah - I have a program that works them out). One or two are stations that FGW▸ just serves rather than runs, but the extreme case they are certainly in charge!

If five of them are Islip, Plymouth, Slough, Woolston and Worthing, then I know the last one (although it wasn't the one I had earlier!) I have a program that works them out Which two are first and last if you put the letters in reverse order and then sort them? (eg SLOUGH=USOLHG instead of GHLOSU) |
