This was printed in my university paper:

The British rail network runs far and wide. The name of a line is scrambled in the following anagram, and the name of a stop on that line, with the given number of letters is encoded by the sum of the letters, where A=1, B=2... Z=26, <Space/Punctuation>=0. Find the line and stop. Note that London Underground lines may also be possible answers.

Anagram: DIGS NOPE HEHE
Stop: 9 letters, Sum=76.

I cheated. hehe.

Well I think I've got it, but shouldn't the sum of the letters be 228?

Yes, though I expect that may have made it trickier to solve? (depending on your approach)

Not really. It's not like there's many stations to check.

For those who didn't know, it was High Speed One and Ebbsfleet. They appear to have posted the same puzzle again this week, but when it finally changes I will let you know.

Well, another puzzle of the same ilk:

Anagram: MEDAL IN MIND NAIL
Stop: 9 letters, Sum=96.

This time, the name is accurate!

Not too hard either - there aren't an awful lot of nine-letter stops on that line.

Indeed. Pretty easy. Not sure if you want us to PM our answers, but I will.

Here's another one. I know most of you are finding these really easy, but I shall continue to put these up.

RAIN I EVIL COT

7 letters, sum 102.
