Sorry - no.  But you're on the right spoke out of London.

Ooh, so that's a map and crayon job, is it? Hmm ... despite the fact that the line ends up somewhere around Evesham, I think that's from the Dean Forest Railway web site.

Sorry - no.  But you're on the right spoke out of London.

They are certainly running the same shifts as us. I've worked some of them!

This quiz is proving very sticky ... I suspect a lot of tourist railways are running similar days.   

One of them, yes, is the Forest of Dean railway - though I seem to have mixed up the images and am trying to work out which is which myself now. So the clue earlier may have been to the wrong picture.

That may be a misconception - when I found no. 1 on their website, the bookable days were different because the ones now fully booked had disappeared.

I was going on the graphic appearance, though had started to wonder if two of them might have been using the same booking software. Knowing nothing about web design, I can only guess that such modules let you easily customise their "skin" to match your overall look.

This turned out to be the most difficult (or perhaps the least interesting?) quiz in the whole advent set, asking which heritage railways were running on which days.     The answers are as follows:

Ruislip Lido Railway
Swanage
Mail Rail
Forest of Dean Railway

Though I suspect I have noted them down in the wrong order.   In terms of multiple heritage operations using the same software, they probably do.  In terms of that giving the same look and feel, that's less likely simple because the look and feel (Style Sheet) is often changed to reflect the livery / colour scheme of the railway / operation in question.
