I've got No.4 - but I'll let someone else have a go!

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

New Mills Central (or it could be New Mills Newtown, we don't have enough data).

Or Newmarket or Northampton - both suitable. Not sure why Ulleskelf might fit.

Intended sequence is station three letter codes ... left shift and add an extra letter
SLO to LOB
LOB to OBN
OBN to BNM
BNM to NM?

It's a simpler version of the same manoeuvre - start each name with the 2nd letter of the one before,. Ockham rules, OK?

Ah yes - I see.

Funny how links can be found between almost any small set ... I wonder if I came up with a random sequence of 4 stations if someone would be able to spot a pattern and suggest a fifth!

"Only Connect" any good? - shall I post another set (or set of sets) tomorrow?
