The ULTIMATE Railway Series Trivia Quiz

I got 64/97! A lot of the quote questions got me actually haha - I've focused so much on the lore that I definitely need to scrub up on the actual text in the stories. A few silly mistakes and misremembering of things in there too haha.

However, why out of 97? There are three questions that are wrong in-themselves so I will not be counting them in the total:

Question 2 is misleading in it's wording - Suddery is a City, not a Town as the question specifies.

Question 15 - There is no "Official" open date for the NWR in any writings from Wilbert or Christopher - the Company was formed in 1914 and the line was completed in 1916. Operations seemingly begin in 1915, but you could argue that they started the moment the Company was formed if you follow that logic - I am being pedantic with this one, but only because there is never once a sentence that reads something like "The NWR officially opened in 1915, with the double tracking being completed in 1916". Being a government strategic Railway first - it does beg the question would it not officially "open" straight away upon amalgamation of the companies in 1914? I can't see passenger services being withdrawn along the TK&E or W&S lines for 2 years as the line was being double tracked.

Question 83 is also a bit of an interesting one - I'd be very interested as to where you sourced the answer of 87 from? There is no written total mainline mileage of the NWR by Wilbert or Christopher - measuring the line with a piece of string on a map isn't a reliable source either, as when you measure the Mid-Sodor it comes out wrong compared to the 25 mile length stated by Wilbert meaning that the scaling is not 1:1.


Question 6's answer is also wrong, it's 7 in total:
1. Toby, Trucks and Trouble
2. Thomas and the Twins
3. Thomas and the Great Railway Show
4. Thomas Comes Home
5. Henry and the Express
6. Thomas and Victoria
7. Thomas and His Friends

Thoroughly enjoyable quiz!

31/100, knowledge has faded as i've gotten older 😬

12/100…

Honestly, this was a really good quiz, and it shows that I’m going to have to pick up on my Sudric more…

This is amzing! Can you please do a TVs one?

D&D players: my lore is deep!
meanwhile the Chad Rev. Wilbert Awdry:

I'll advise if you really haven't studied the sodor map or the history book awdry wrote, you'll only get about 50/100😂

Also A.W Dry and company is WILD awdry was hilarious 😂

39/100 I may not be a true Thomas fan

Not to mention the answer for the last question will be the new year

I thought “yeah, I know idk the railway series, but I’d get like 60 something.”

I got 15/100 😭😭😭

50/100

I GOT 84/100!?

This was fun! But man I did terrible 😭

I feel very humbled right now.
Edit: Ok after counting everything, I actually got a 68/100, which isn’t bad at all.

I got 54.

Christ… you could have done it only using the stories not the iOS books! And if not maybe multiple choice would have worked nicely😂

3/100 lol

A solid 80

24/100

89/1oo

39 is not good
How could I fail!?

I got 22 correct and 4 Half Correct. So in total my score would be 24/100 I would have gotten

I am thoroughly embarrassed

Excellent vid, loved getting my teeth into this! I gave it an honest go and got 60/100, which I think isn't too bad considering how brutal some of the questions are 😅
Though its not something that interests me personally, I think a TV series version would go down very well!

re: question 6 - shouldn't the answer be 7?
Toby, Trucks and Trouble
Henry and the Express
Thomas and the Twins
Thomas Comes Home
Thomas and the Great Railway Show
Thomas and Victoria
Thomas and His Friends

I got 30/100 (that's probably a grade F, that's what happens when you don't own a copy of People, History, and Railways)

36/100

59/100

Good job at pick these out I genuinely had to take a few seconds to think about the answer to a lot of them, and I learned so much more about the Lore of the railway series

28/100, thought I would get more

Q: what is Duck’s real name)
A: Montague

Q: who was the last character Wilbert Awdry created for the series

A: Mavis

Q: How many of Wilberts books don’t feature Thomas?

A:8

Jeez I need to study. I gave up keeping score but I think I got around 30/100

When I read the titel I thought, it can't be that hard, but then.
I got 15/100
Not my best trivia but it was very fun and I learned a lot

32... not too shabby.

51, tbh after the first 20 or so I thought if I can be above 50% then I'll be satisfied lol

30?! 😭

I ultimately got a 52/100; I could have done better though if I paused on some of the more difficult questions😅
