When I posted the second clue was not there, and even after I refreshed the page and came off the forum so I blame my computer for being slow, useless and stupid

Which is in which PTE exactly?

 

[Johnuk123]

Birmingham Int.

 

[Robinson]

Longbridge

Correctamundo.

I take it no 170s or 153s make Redditch these days then. I remember seeing 150s and 156s going up there before, but not for a while (that said, I'm not in the area as much as I used to be).

Shouldn't do; although there are a couple of diesel services each way at Barnt Green, as far as I know there aren't any at Longbridge.

 

[Ivo]

I'm pretty sure that all Worcester services are non-stop between University and at least Barnt Green, and usually Bromsgrove. I have never seen anything other than a 323 running a stopping service on the Cross City (and as you probably all know from my occasional anti-CC posts, I've been that way a fair few times!).

On we go:

Clue 1: This station is within commuting range of at least one major English city.

 

[Robinson]

Redland.

 

[dzug2]

Leighton Buzzard

 

[martinsh]

Dore (and Totley)

 

[Ivo]

Clue 2: This station is not served by long-distance operators.

 

[Robinson]

Southend Central.

 

[Ivo]

Nice try

Clue 2A: This station is not within ten miles of or in Southend-on-Sea.

 

[Robinson]

2A? Is this an extra clue, or the disguised clue 3?

 

[Ivo]

An extra

Clue 3: This station's name begins with a letter in the second half of the alphabet.

 

[Robinson]

Waterloo (Merseyside).

If anyone else had made a guess between clue 2A and clue 3 I would have said that was rather unfair as they would have been handed an advantage...

That's what you get for giving a dumb answer

I know, it wasn't really a dumb answer.

[Robinson]

Castleford?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 5: Although most services from this station are local enough to be considered suburban, some continue in the country direction to an alternative example of the locations identified in Clue 1.
