Re: National Rail Where Am I #5
Workington North is not all it's cracked up to be, but to be fair it isn't half as bad as the abomination of a railway station that is the "recently refurbished" Maryport railway station. (Or as it should be called - the Bus Shelters in Maryport that happen to be standing on a railway platform.) Either change the name, or just take down the plaque that rather excitedly commemorates the bus shelters being (re?) erected and then "officially unveiled" by a Cumbrian County Councillor, because to call it a refurbishment is somewhat of a joke.
Rant from last week over, I'll now ask a supplementary question.
Can a large body of water be seen from a platform at the station where you currently reside?

Re: National Rail Where Am I #5
I'll point out that a large body of water could be a large river, not just the seaside.
In light of this I'll ask:
Do you lie at, or to the North of, Maryport railway station?

Aspatria's a great station name. Is that where you've found yourself?
