    Another great quiz!  A 65% for me which is not too bad as I am normally better at the ones on Railway Lines and Stations.

    I got 95%. The question on how many diesels Victoria had in 1959 tripped me up.

    I got 100% (which you'd expect, of course)....
    I spent some time on the 1959 total, remembering that the words "main Line" weren't included in the question...

    95%.  As above, "How many diesels in 1959" was an incorrect guess.

    Should I be worried that I keep getting 90% or more on these quizzes Embarassed?

    YM-Mundrabilla, I believe you!

    No, I can't see anybody's results. I receive an email telling me only the number of times that each quiz has been accessed.

    I enjoy seeing the results people post. Although I have no way of knowing if what they post is accurate, I have had no reason to doubt anyone.

    But now that you have shown your devious mind at work there will be an Integrity Commission inquiry into your future scores.Smile

    It's only a worry for those who think there is something wrong with knowing lots about railways.

    Wonderful quiz again.

    Only achieved 65%. Very frustrating, as I should have known the correct answers. The grey matter failing for the stuff I knew in the 80s off by heart.

    100% for me. Most of the questions were easy but a couple took a bit of thinking Smile

    80% here. OK, for someone north of the border.
    Fortunately, a reader here was kind enough to forward a copy of the SA/Violet Town report, so correct there.

    Good fun, thanks, Spletsie.

    Thanks Comrade.
    If I was going to cheat I hope that I would be smarter than James Pinder seems to be.Rolling Eyes

    I'm surprised at how consistently well I guess on these quizzes.  Maybe I subconsciously remember more than I realise Confused.
