Anyone know where 'Tean' is?

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

Tean is in Staffs. - not far from Uttoxeter but wasn't the Y service station at Cheadle? - that's also Staffs. but not close enough to be confused. Was there a subsite at Cheam/ A relay or suchlike.

I recall a picture of the 'Y' station at Hawkinge but can't recall where.

Re the order of the original list - it was as per Bletchley's list. It started in the north of Scotland and moved south which seemed logical. Then part way down it lost the plot. I'm happy with the alphabetical order, and the following lists will comply. Just have a very slight issue with some of the dual names for stations - not entirely convinced that the first name of the pair is the correct one. We can live with that.

Thanks for re-ordering Peter.

Was there not a BBC station at Woburn, the main building of which survives today

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!
