I'm thinking of a station...

[Eagle]

This is a staffed (part-time), unbarriered suburban station.

Served by one TOC, with two more passing through at speeds over 60 mph.

The station footbridge is a public right of way, due to a nearby level crossing being closed and not replaced with a bridge.

It is permitted to double back to reach this station.

Here's your 48-hour clue:

Almost all services at this station are provided by a single class of MU.

 

[dzug2]

Swaythling?

 

[Eagle]

Swaythling?

Served by both 444s and 450s. The station I'm thinking of has all but about four services a day being the same MU.

 

[Ivo]

Only a vague possibility, but Canley? No idea about the crossing or staffing bits >.<

 

[Eagle]

Bingo.

 

[dzug2]

Earley?

Canley is staffed 18 hours a day per National Rail - could always be out of date though

 

[Ivo]

This station is served by almost all trains on its route, even though it has only a few thousand passengers every year and less than 2% of the number seen at the next station down the line [intentional choice of term]; only a very small number of peak services do not call here. It is on an electrified single line that in years gone by had a gap in the service on Thursdays to allow freight operation.

 

[dzug2]

Battlesbridge?

 

[Ivo]

Where else could it be?

Your floor.

This station, a former junction, has two platforms and is served by one TOC. In the general vicinity (up to 5 miles maybe) there are 4 tunnels, one of them disused.

Halifax

 

[dzug2]

Not Halifax (2 TOCs)

Oops, forgot about Grand Central !

Edale ?

 

[dzug2]

Oops, forgot about Grand Central !

Edale ?

Nope - never a junction. And I think EMT call occasionally

Drayton Park?

 

[dzug2]

Drayton Park?

Not where I have in mind.

My station is served by a mixture of HSTs and DMUs

 

[Eagle]

Erm... Pewsey?

 

[dzug2]

Not Pewsey. Never a junction (that I know of) and no tunnels.
Right TOC though

 

[Eagle]

Never a junction (that I know of)

Yes it was, it was the junction for the GWR's Devizes branch (which ran from the B&H at Pewsey to the Wilts & Weymouth at a point south of Melksham), which coincidentally I happened to have just suggested in the reopenings thread. I just assumed there were tunnels round there, well, because Pewsey is in an eponymous valley...


Let's try Newbury.

 

[martinsh]

Great Malvern - oops no, forgot about the only 1 TOC

 

[dzug2]

Neither Newbury nor Great Malvern. sorry

 

[martinsh]

Lostwithiel

 

[Eagle]

Lostwithiel

XC serves Lostwithiel (once a day each way, I think).

 

[dzug2]

Lostwithiel is getting colder

 

[Eagle]

Kemble (there's a few tunnels round there, and it was a junction for both Cirencester and Tetbury).

 

[dzug2]

Kemble (there's a few tunnels round there, and it was a junction for both Cirencester and Tetbury).

Correct - there's Kemble tunnel just outside the station, and Sapperton Tunnel (which is actually two) on the way to Stroud.

And the disused one (not too devious I hope) is the Sapperton canal tunnel

Your go

 

[Eagle]

This NR station shares its name with another station on the LU. It has two platforms and four through lines, all electrified.

(That should be enough!)

 

[Temple Meads]

Ealing Broadway?

 

[Eagle]

Has four (or nine) platforms and no through lines.

 

[dzug2]

Fenchurch Street? 4 platforms. If you add in Tower Gateway (2) and Tower Hill (3), which 'service' it, there's 9

Though Tower Hill has through platforms so maybe that's stretching it a bit too far.
