Looms familiar... I think I've seen that picture somewhere
Re: Guess the British station
No guesses in 15 days? I guess I should give a clue. This station is on the slower line (of two) between 2 particular places, but was once the quicker of the two.
Re: Guess the British station
Oh! Is it on the Settle to Carlisle line?

I'm almost certain that the S+C has never been the fastest route to anywhere But no, it isn't on there.Translink wrote:Oh! Is it on the Settle to Carlisle line?

It was for a while, it is built to mainline standard, you won't finf=d a gradient steeper than 1 in 100 on it.Pilot wrote: I'm almost certain that the S+C has never been the fastest route to anywhere But no, it isn't on there.

Maybe fastest between and Leeds and Glasgow, but that's about it.Translink wrote:It was for a while, it is built to mainline standard, you won't find a gradient steeper than 1 in 100 on it.Pilot wrote: I'm almost certain that the S+C has never been the fastest route to anywhere But no, it isn't on there.
The reason it didn't continue as the main route for LMS (post grouping) was the following
(Whist Shap is 1 in 75, it's only 1 in 75 for 5 miles, compared to a 16 mile 1 in 100 on the S+C)its steeper gradients and greater length meant it could not compete on speed from London to Glasgow
Anyway, that's getting slightly off topic. Any more guesses?

Re: Guess the British station
Question, when posting a station, does it have to be open?
Re: Guess the British station
That's never really been specified in the rules but the general view after many arguments is yes - the station should be open.
