    Hi everyone,

    Today, I was looking through some old threads in The Lunch Room on the ATDB and found a quiz about the Sydney Suburban railway stations. I did a search on the quiz site, and to my disappointment, there was no Adelaide one. So here I am 6 hours later, I made my own Adelaide Suburban railway station quiz. I decided to put it here as well as the ATDB, so here it is:
    Can you Name the Adelaide Suburban Railway Stations?

    Lying in bed using the iPad and thought I'd give the quiz a go.

    Scored 100% with 3:57 left on the clock. Not bad considering it's been 4 years since I left Adelaide Metro trains.

    Probably would have got a better time if it wasn't for a few spelling mistakes Smile

    Yeah, sorry about them. They have now been fixed, so shouldn't be a problem anymore. Believe it or not, when I did it today I didn't get 100%, even though I made it. Rolling Eyes

    If I could extend this quiz a little was wondering if anyone is able to list all current station buildings on the Adelaide Metro network that still survive from the S.A.R days. Cheers

    Thanks for that Commander Data, a fun way to waste 15 minutes. Couldn't hit on the right spelling of some of them and I also couldn't type the names in fast enough but I got 76%. I knew all the Belair ones as I used to live on that line but didn't manage to complete any other line.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, good to know it was vaguely amusing. I'm thinking of doing a few more, maybe once a month, so it might be a more regular thing.

    An idea might be to do a line a month, say one month, the Gawler - Truro/.Angaston line, then another line, etc.
