Yes, but it's a long way to go.

No 5 is Snaith. Tried a quick visit once - but although the train stopped as per timetable, the doors weren't unlocked....

2 is Plockton

Yes, beautiful place.

I reckoned you could hardly have got Breich into this quiz - not any more - so had to look a little further.

Yes ... I travelled through just the once, an overloaded train as we left Leeds but by the time we got out to those final stops to Goole, carrying fresh air and I'm not sure if there were any more passengers.

So we have ...

Unanswered ... as yet ...

1. Just three direct trains per day, Monday to Friday, from "X" to "Y" - at 05:59, 06:23 and 07:01.  And just 2 back from "Y" to "X" at 19:18 and 19:38.  "X" and "Y" are in the same county; you can travel between them at other times of day, but have to double back outside the county.

3. Trains leave from this terminal platform only at at 08:16, 08:36, 15:28 and 15:46 on Mondays to Fridays. On Saturday they're at 08:33, 09:21, 15:25 and 15:46.  No service at all on Sundays at the moment.

4. After a journey of an hour, a train from a city calls at 06:06. Local calls at 06:37 and 18:59, then a 19:14 service back to the city.

6. 08:25, 18:40, 20:40, 21:40, 22:36 and 23:32 inbound, 16:23, 17:25, 19:27 and 21:30 outbound. Similar service on Saturday; fewer evening trains but more daytime trains on Sunday.
