Below that there were lots of flooding.</p> <p>Wester Hailes and Curriehill still need to be done if anyone fancies it... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21671#post-377683 Mon, 09 Dec 2024 11:51:00 +0000 HankChief 377683@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Here's one for train nerds (me included)...</p> <p>There's a '<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c624e74p0qzo">thing</a>' at Northampton where one of the station staff has gone through the tickets relinquished at the station gates to see how many of 2,600 UK stations they have had a traveller from.</p> <p>So far (after several years) they are at c.2,000 and have put them on a big display on the wall.</p> <p>Someone has compiled a list of those missing </p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/180Q8_9sjMy8uXe5CC-rXJLQEy3EpwDqA/edit?usp=docslist_api&amp;filetype=msexcel" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/file/d/180Q8_9sjMy8uXe5CC-rXJLQEy3EpwDqA/edit?usp=docslist_api&amp;filetype=msexcel</a></p> <p>By my reckoning there is still around 160 of the 360 Scottish stations unfilled.</p> <p>Not a surprise that lots are missing but also surprising for some they already have, like Georgemas Junction, Dunrobbin Castle, Tyndrum Upper &amp; Maybole to name a few...</p> <p>Plenty of suburban Edinburgh Stations still do as well if anyone fancies a daytrip to Northampton sometime... </p>
