(complete) Station names quiz- mobiles at the ready!

Sprinter · 5th July 2005, 20:36

By using the standard groupings of letters on a mobile phone (e.g press 2 for letters "ABC" and 3 for "DEF" etc), can you name me the following stations just by giving you the numbers of the keys you would press for each letter.

To give you an example "2265" would give "BANK", as both letters B and A are on number 2 key, N is on number 6 key and K is on number 5 key.

It is up to you puzzle out which of the letters the number represent, as on number 2 key for example there are letters A B and C, it is for you which letter would fit to create a station name. A slash ( / ) incidates two separate words.

Hope I have made myself clear... Not so easy now is it?
