The Stalyvegas flyer doesn't stop at any stations within the city of Manchester but it is certainly visible.
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'city' as 'a large town' or 'any town in the UK which has a cathedral'.
The Cathedral Church of the Holy Spirit, Guildford is the Anglican cathedral at Guildford.
It's a city.
Blackburn with Darwen has a pop of 120,000 plus and has a much better claim to be a city than Guildford.
4000 holes, surely? :P
you beat me to it ...... i suddenly had to check
Guildford Cathedral is visible from the SWML between Brookwood and Pirbright Junction (wintertime, when the trees aren't in leaf)
Is Guildford a City?
Yes you can see it and a very nice view it is but Guildford is not a most Certainly not a city just because it has a cathedral doesn't make it a city.
IMO if it has a cathedral it's a city. There's no need for a completely arbitrary treaty that the Queen has to give. If it has a cathedral, it's a city. End of.Not really, other non city cathedral towns include:
St Edmundsbury, Southwell, Southwark, Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Arundel, Northampton, and most of Scotland. Ofcourse many cities don't contain a cathedral, namely Hull, Brighton and Hove, Bath etc.
I know Rotherham can be seen on the avoiding line through the old Masborough station.
Stirling.If it has a cathedral, it's a city. End of.
I never understand the slogan on the Cathedral City Cheddar lorries you sometimes see making their way up and down the motorways: http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-da...r-cheese-advertised-on-trailer-103753803.html . Falkirk, Falmouth, and Runcorn neither have cathedrals nor are they cities...

Not in Wales. Brecon has a cathedral but is not a city. It is the cathedral serving the Swansea and Brecon Diocese which contains Swansea but which has no cathedral.
Any obscure branch of any religion could declare any of its buildings as a cathedral. It doesn't make the area it's in a city.

I suppose a cathedral built by the state religion for the area (Church of England, Scotland, Wales) is the only cathedral that ever counted towards city status.
