Title: Know your timetable Post by: grahame on October 27, 2018, 06:48:09 One of the very important things for potential rail passengers is when trains call at their local station. Each of these is a snippet from Real Time Trains (http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk) - scheduled arrivals for today. Can you identify the station in each case?
Please just try one each ... I know some are easy, but let others have a challenge ... (http://www.wellho.net/pix/arrivals_20181027.jpg) Title: Re: Know your timetable Post by: bobm on October 27, 2018, 08:26:09 The last one is Hayle.
