How much do you know about train travel in the UK^▸ (United Kingdom)? Take our quiz to find out

I had a go. It appears that I don't know much, at least about the travel habits of the british public, which the quiz is mainly about

Indeed.   I felt that some of the questions were woolly ...

4.How many hours a week can some London commuters spend in cars?

Well, some no doubt spend each of the options offered in cars.  And some all sorts of other figures too!

8.How many UK^▸ (United Kingdom) train routes are cheaper than if you go by car?

Let's start with "what is the definition of a route" ...

10.What percentage of trains arrive on time?

And which definition of "on time" are we using here?

Good things to be thinking about and having people consider ... but as a quiz it's a lemon to me!

6 which surprised me. When they say cheaper than by car, are they assuming it’s:
a. Your car
b. A private hire vehicle complete with driver
c. A rental car

And:
a. You are the only passenger,
b. You are sharing the vehicle with others

I got half of them.  Agreed some very woolly questions.  The number of train journeys that Londoners make....does that include the Overground, Underground or DLR^▸ (Docklands Light Railway)?

7/10. I'm not very good on the London-centric parts, it would seem....

[GBM]

That leaves me at the bottom of the rankings with 4/10!
