The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

Southend Victoria?

 

[gnolife]

Portsmouth Southsea

 

[Eagle]

You know, I said 20 miles, not 2 miles!

 

[Ivo]

Nice of you to start when I was revising the first post (and my sig)

Hockley

REMEMBER: For the next 12 hours, anyone who gives an impossible response is considered an April Fool and will lose two points instead of one! (Then it's back to March 31st rules for the second half of the day.)

 

[Eagle]

Clue 3: Fewer than ten stations are served by direct trains from this station.

 

[clagmonster]

We're in double point deduction teretory now, we wouldn't want to over egg it and be 20.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 miles away and have 2 points deducted now would we.

Southease?

 

[Ivo]

Derby Road

It will be interesting to see how Eagle's clues play out considering thsi is his first round, which just happens to coincide with the April 1st ruling...

 

[gnolife]

Oh dear. I dont like this anymore!

Lymington Town

 

[Eagle]

Ivo loses two points. Derby Road is not within the NSE area (which only ran as far as Manningtree/Harwich).

hock:

It's not in the NSE area, and yet it's on LSE maps. That sucks. I know all too well Eagle is correct though. Should have stuck with my first idea :roll:

I knew I'd be the first to fall foul of that change

Shanklin

Ivo loses two points. Derby Road is not within the NSE area.

Would you like special notes leaving on the list for these, Ivo?

 

[Eagle]

Clue 4: this station is also served by some non-NR rail transport.

Would help if you could

 

[gnolife]

Smallbrook Junction?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 4: this station is also served by some non-NR rail transport.

In the former NSE area? hock:

Um... Smallbrook Junction?

Oh for Christ's sake Five points off in literally a couple of minutes!

 

[clagmonster]

Time for a gamble on the distances. Chappel & Wakes Colne?

 

[Eagle]

Smallbrook Junction?

Winner!

(Clue 5, as you might guess, would have been "This station has no road access".)

 

[clagmonster]

In the former NSE area? hock:

Um... Smallbrook Junction?

-3. Am I correct that this isn't doubled?

 

[gnolife]

In the former NSE area? hock:

Um... Smallbrook Junction?

This really isnt your round is it?

 

[clagmonster]

Does anybody know the distance from Chappel to the sea? I just need to work out whether I lose 2 points.

 

[gnolife]

This station is not within the Network South East area (1)

 

[clagmonster]

Derby Road?

 

[gnolife]

Derby Road?

Never heard of it!

 

[Ivo]

This really isnt your round is it?

No. However...

-3. Am I correct that this isn't doubled?

Fortunately for me, you are correct - thereby saving me from the unenviable record of "Most Points lost in one round"

The current holder of this "record" is Robinson (of all people), with his infamous double of duplications in Round #31 (coincidentally the only other time the requried station has been on the Isle of Wight).

 

[Eagle]

In the former NSE area? hock:

There's quite a lot! IOW Steam Railway, Bluebell Railway, Mid-Hants Railway, Swanage Railway (admittedly that doesn't serve any NR stations yet)... oh yes, and the tube, DLR and Tramlink of course!

 

[Ivo]

Never heard of it!

Look up. I said that for Eagle's round (stupidly ). Typically however, clagmonster used that exact same reason I "used"!

No more than roughly 10 miles from Brightlingsea.

No more than 10 or 11 miles. You're safe there... but I'd like to know what other rail transport serves it?

Good, good.
