Is that a real place? I thought it was one of those made-up places in the original TT.

And, no, it isn't Yate, wherever that strange and wonderful place may be...

Lol... Yate's close to Chipping Sodbury, which is where MicroProse was based...

That West Country map is actually pretty geographically accurate.

If you think it's in the South, but people think it's in the North, it's probably somewhere that's in the centre...

Sheffield?

Yate is a real place.

Wow, who would of thought it. I'm guessing thats why the knock-off name for Concorde was Yate-Haugen or something along those lines...

Hmm....Sheffield....odd place if you ask me, I remember having to sit on the platform there for three hours when Virgin were REALLY unreliable...

Your're close in thinking, but it's the wrong bit of Yorkshire (think about how many bits of Yorkshire there are, and which matches to that colour)

It narrows it down, but not by much :)

No prizes for that andel, you've named nearly every station on the right line.

And you're still wrong :p

Crossflatts isn't the right answer either

Too far along.

You were soooo close with those other stations you mentioned andel.

Tip: Have a look at a route map
