As the weekend draws inexorably closer it is time again to test your mettle against the Guardian Thursday news quiz. How much attention have you been paying to stories featuring mischievous or kinky animals, or that have trains involved? Because those are the kinds of story that always draw the quiz’s eye. There are no prizes, but let us know how you get on in the comments. Allons-y!

The Thursday news quiz, No 216

  1. 1.Whom did Donald Trump’s motorcade delay in New York after their speech at the UN?

  4. 4.After a public vote, Network Rail’s new leaf-blowing train (not pictured) is to be called what?

  5. 5.The only thing the Thursday quiz loves more than trains is a decent pub, so imagine the thrill of discovering that this week one of seven new Grade II listings announced to mark 200 years of public railways was the first purpose-built train pub in the UK. What is it called?

    Beer!

  6. 6.This is Willow, the increasingly chonky official dog of the Guardian Thursday quiz. She wants to know the name of the moose that has been relocated to a nature reserve after causing chaos with his frolics in Austria.

  8. 8.Chelsea’s head honcho, Enzo Maresca, has had little sympathy for two of his players, Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi, who have been exiled from the first team squad in lieu of being ushered out of the door marked ‘do one’. Maresca told them that real hardship was doing what his 75-year-old father does. What is that?

  9. 9.The Star Wars franchise has issued a first picture of Ryan Gosling (not pictured) starring in a forthcoming movie that continues the space saga. What is it to be called?

  12. 12.This week’s guest canine is Herbie, whom the Thursday quiz met in a pub in Brixton. What a good boy.

    Herbie

  13. 13.Which figure associated with boy bands competed in the Berlin marathon under the pseudonym Sted Sarandos?

If you really do think there has been an egregious error in one of the questions or answers – and can show your working and are absolutely 100% positive you aren’t attempting to factcheck a joke – you can complain about it in the comments below. Or why not watch Glamorous by Poppy Jean Crawford instead?
