I started around the same time, and I've still not finished! I have 39 to go, but if I followed your rules, it would be a lot more. I don't have to have a minimum time at the station, nor do I have to actually leave the station. And in a few (13) cases, I've boarded or alighted, but not both...

Aš wasn't closed, it's on the Cheb to Hranice v Čechách branch line. You may be thinking of the cross-border section of line between Aš and Selb-Plößberg, now part of the Cheb - Hof route, and which was indeed reopened in 2015.

When Scotrail introduced Club 50, they offered free membership for the first year, so I got one. I think it saved me about £4 over the year, so when it came up for renewal in October 2016 at £15, I wouldn't have bothered, except that they offered one return Scotrail journey for £1, and unlimited...

I took advantage of this offer myself yesterday, buying a Greenfaulds - Cumbernauld weekly season for the purpose. Virgin did better out of me than Scotrail though, the two getting £24 and £7.10 respectively. Originally intending to head from Glasgow over to Edinburgh and a spin on the Fife...
