[edit] - 18th February 2022 - for "On this Day".   From five years back, the quiz is still live!

https://www.boombox.com/c/quiz/350973/how-well-do-you-know-your-uk-train-stations

A picture quiz I found online. For me, rather easy. I got 15/15.

The question order is randomised.

13/15 not too bad as I'm not so familiar with the railways "up north".

15/15 - though only having three choices for each entry does make it easier. Reading was the hardest as I haven't been since it was rebuilt.

None the less, it does illustrate a "wasted" life spent passing through railway stations 😀

And now 7 years back, it appears that the server is gone ... how transient is the internet and web sites on it! Perhaps a chance to "advertise" (remind members about) our document mirror at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/mirror/ with over 1000 documents which may become harder to find over time. Note the suggestion at the top of that page that you use the search engine I have written to find the documents that you want (and forum threads too) rather that trawling the list manually
