May Quiz - Day 20

Heathrow terminal 4 is the odd one out because it is the only station of the four, which is located at an airport
Or Ruislip is the odd one out because it is the only one where trains are scheduled to terminate at

It is not related to where the stations are located, with other stations in the vicinity, or terminating trains.

That's arguable in the case of T4, but anyway not the answer I'm looking for.

I'll give you a clue that Ruislip is the odd one out.

It isn't to do with the lines that serve the stations.

I still say that there are no posters on this forum named "Heathrow T4", "Dagenham Heathway", or "Holland Park".

Err, Ruislip is the odd one out, as its the only station thats got Anti-Pigeon Measures under the canopy! ;D

Upminster it is still there, platform 5

Does someone still live in the Ruislip station building? If so, that may be one possibility.

Is Ruislip the only one with platforms that aren't straight?

Noone lives there. It contains a busmans toilet, male/female toilets, female waiting room, ss office, newsagents (with really nice chap), ticket office and kitchen and messroom, plant room, and something at the end.

Something about numbering? Ruislip has platform 2 as going to London.

Something about reversing trains? Trains on the Uxbridge platform can only go in the direction of the nominal destination (Uxb or the sidings), same principal for the other side. No wrong road starts.

Interesting fact actually; the local area maps for the station show the location of a former crossover where the goods sidings were. These are the up to date ones btw.

Ruislip has the biggest gap?

When you say 'gaps', are you talking about vertical or horizontal gaps?

Ruislip (I guess) involves a step down into a 73TS and possibly a step up into an A stock; the other platforms are flush with the door level.

Is it that Ruislip's platforms are on the left hand side of the train but all the others are on the right?
