16. I'm thinking Monorail - I thought the Maglev thing in Shanghai but that doesn't appear to have stations like that.

" said:12: Does Yeovil Junction still have its junction?Yes, there's a spur for up Waterloo trains to join the up line towards Castle Cary (or down trains on the latter to join the down line to Exeter). Used only as a diversionary route. Last edited: 02/12/2014 at 02:16 by Muzer Log in to reply |

For example, from the booking hall back down to the Northern Line? Quote: (or for a non-railway answer: from King George V to Woolwich through the foot tunnel!)You can walk through the Rotherhithe Tunnel, which is about three times as long. I suspect that's going to be the winner. Log in to reply |

" said:" said:Unless you count only things people allowed to be on LU metals during a possession can do, in which case it would be "line walk from Morden to Camden Town and back to Kennington the other way". But I suspect for the purposes of this quiz that would be a bit of a cheat.15: From the old Thameslink entrance at Kings Cross to the new St Pancras Domestic?But are there other tunnels you can then turn into?

" said:You can do a lot better than that! Off the top of my head: East Finchley or Golders Green via CX to Kennington, then via Bank to Euston-ish, take the King's Cross Loop and then the Piccadilly to Finsbury Park, Victoria to Green Park, Jubilee to Baker Street, Bakerloo to Oxford Circus, then Central whichever way turns out to be longer. I'm sure I could do better with some thought. Hmm: does using a parallel tunnel count as retracing your steps? Log in to reply |
