1. Where does the Channel Tunnel Rail Link go underground on the British side?
2. This London station is the starting point for the majority of East Coast Main Line services
3. When GNER took over operation of East Coast Main Line, they found they had a shortage of motive power for loco-hauled trains, so Class 89001 was brought out of retirement and ran the ECML between London and ________.
4. In 2001, how many Virgin Cross Country diagrams were slated for Class 47 loco haulage?
5. EWS recently replaced its ageing fleet of Class 47's with this locomotive, the Class __?
6. This station is the most northernmost in the British Isles. What is its name?
7. What is unusual about the North Wales Main Line going through Comwy?
a) The North Wales Main Line does not go through Conway
b) The station is a terminus so trains continuing west must back out of the station to proceed
c) Parts of the medieval town walls were knocked down to allow railway access
d) The line follows a huge S shape, therefore effectively entering and leaving the town three times in a space of four miles
8. Easy question: This is the name of the chemical industry manager that created a report to the British Government in the 1960s for recommendations to turn British Rail into a profit making organization.
9. Since privatization, due to the need for faster trains, Class 86 locomotives can now be seen hauling regular 110 mile per hour expresses on the West Coast Main Line and the East Anglian Main Line. True or False?
10. OK, a REALLY hard question: What were the names of the two companies that were threatened by manslaughter charges after the Hatfield accident in 2000?
Good luck
