Bulleidboy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 On the East Coast main line near the Northumberland coast and Holy island. Correct - chosen as it was the point at which Royal Scots Grey first achieved 100mph en route to Dundee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Just north of Hambleton on the Selby - Leeds line: Will have a think about the next one (found some interesting squares whilst looking for this one) Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Clue My last one was on a "racing stretch" - this one isn't but has connections to racing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Another pylon line And another nearby connection to racing, perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Phew Graham That took some finding!! Anyway it's Castle Donington: Will post a new square tomorrow - time to think of a new theme. Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Back to the junctions theme: Hopefully this one can be found from a Rail Atlas without too much trawling of OS maps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Don't know what it's called, but N of Grantham, where the Skegness line goes under the ECML. The S-E curve is in fact still there, although all piled up in sections waiting to be disposed of, at least a few weeks ago when I went past. Next square in a little while.

eastwestdivide Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 So, after scooting round the map sites, looking for junctions, where's this then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Allington & Gonerby junctions between Grantham and Bottesford Will post another junction anon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Time for a clue: Not in the North, South, East or West! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Another clue: The visible corner of this triangle can be found on a monopoly board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Correct For the record it is Park Lane Junction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It's Tonbridge: Next one: To the West is a terminus and two miles North another station. To travel by rail between them you would pass through at least 19 stations, three junctions and change trains twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 ... alternatively you could cycle over a very big bridge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 You may think that but I couldn't possibly comment! To all One Squarers, how would you feel about a slight change to the rules allowing names in the square to be erased?? I've found some nice distictive junctions but there is a give away by each one.

eastwestdivide Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well I was wondering if it had run its course really, and should be left behind for another quiz. Someone ought to archive it for future club night quizzes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagrizz Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I wasn't going to reply this quickly but EWdivide has put up a huge clue, so ................ Mike, regarding changing squares to erase clues, if you want to then go ahead but is this the thin end of the wedge? There are lots of squares yet to be used - especially on disused lines(besides, I wouldn't know how to erase things ). The next square used to be a junction.

62613 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Back to the junctions theme: Hopefully this one can be found from a Rail Atlas without too much trawling of OS maps? Barkston Junctions? Barkston South Junction is where Mallard started her record run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Barkston Junctions? Barkston South Junction is where Mallard started her record run. Yes Barkston & Hougham junctions - didn't know of the association with Mallard but chose it as the shape looked fairly easy to find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
