NotThePars Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Dumfries is a good call tbh. We should be upgrading the status of our border settlements with the view to building a citadel so we can pump out military units and annex our rival civ’s cities. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where that ranks on the number of stations in a town list. 7 minutes ago, eez-eh said: I’m guessing Glasgow, Edinburgh, Coatbridge and Greenock? What a quartet.

Just shows I should have read the article. I assumed with its status in the blue wall that it was on the shortlist for the new English city 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of being called bitey, you thought wrong. A Platinum anniversary is 70 (at least for weddings it is).

The country's true hubs of economic activity get the rail service they deserve. The City of Greater Greenock has 13 stations.

IrishBhoy Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Paisley has Scotland’s main international airport, sadly hijacked by Glasgow. It has more right to be a city than Perth or Stirling, who if I’m not mistaken have no international airports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee "Central" and Broughty Ferry are both in the city. Balmossie - I think is just in the Dundee CC area. Whilst Invergowrie and Monifieth are pretty much Dundee. Worth noting that Aberdeen only has itself and Dyce with nothing within 10 miles of it either side... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Railway stations should be counted based on postcode. Dundee can claim: Dundee (DD1) Invergowrie (DD2) Broughty Ferry (DD5) Balmossie (DD5) Monifieth (DD5) Barry Links (DD7) Golf Street (DD7) Carnoustie (DD7) Montrose (DD10) Arbroath (DD11) It annoys me more than it should that Montrose's postcode comes alphanumerically before Arbroath's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
