Q Q K - King's Cross Train Station Airport, London.
I've never been there.

Ah, I spotted another one.
WTF: Pilning.

Lytham LTM
Of the ones identified so far I have been to Fort William, Stranraer and Basingstoke. Only been through the others.

Duke Street (Glasgow) - DST
During my early working life I lived for several years close(ish) to Glasgow but never used this station.

Ingatestone - INT, row 2. One I've been through quite often (but never, I think, got off at by mistake for Chelmsford).
| Re: AQ04 - Three Letter Code grid Posted by brooklea at 11:20, 4th December 2024 | |
BSK is Basingstoke; I’ve made many journeys starting from there, and at other times changed trains.
| Re: AQ04 - Three Letter Code grid Posted by Oxonhutch at 11:05, 4th December 2024 | |
STR: Stranraer - never visited.
There is most definitely no CHO where most of my rail journeys start and finish!
| Re: AQ04 - Three Letter Code grid Posted by Richard Fairhurst at 10:09, 4th December 2024 | |
FTW: Fort William. (Or "For The Win".) I have visited, but a long time ago.
| Re: AQ04 - Three Letter Code grid Posted by Red Squirrel at 10:00, 4th December 2024 | |
Right then, I’ll set the ball rolling by mixing my metaphors and picking some low-hanging fruit:
ASH = Ash, Surrey. I haven’t visited!
| Re: AQ04 - Three Letter Code grid Posted by grahame at 09:25, 4th December 2024 | |
I have laid this out in a table to make the rows and columns clearer - hope this helps!
| Q | U | F | T | W |
| V | Q | I | N | T |
| N | I | K | M | A |
| D | S | T | R | S |
| B | L | F | B | H |
It doth, thank you!

Hidden in the puzzle above are 20 three letter codes. Start anywhere and read horizontal, vertical or diagonal, forwards or sdrawkcab. How many can you spot, and how many of them have you visited? With the help of Cato and Rasmus, I can identify the 20, I have visited 7 to get on or off a train, and I have passed through the majority - just one I am in doubt about.
