The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

Does clue 4 tell us anything that clue 3 doesn't?

And the only station left that I think is possible is Winnersh Triangle.

I suspect that may be a penalty. Winnersh Triangle (and Earley and Winnersh) have a half-hourly stopping Reading-Waterloo service and a half-hourly passing North Downs service. Clue 4 eliminated at the very least these 3 (though Earley had already been eliminated by virture of me wrongly going for it earlier).

Clue 1: This station is AC electrified.

North Berwick?

North Berwick?

Though they do have a once a day Voyager passing which could just tip the balance

I am struggling to think of the fourth TOC (I have ATW, VT and Northern), but let's go for Warrington Bank Quay.

Sorry - there isn't a fourth TOC at Warrington Bank Quay. The ScotRail sleeper passes through but doesn't call.

Warrington BQ is used for a driver change over point on the Scottish Sleepers.

But it does not "call" at the station since passengers cannot join or alight, which is what "calling" encompasses.

I didn't know that the IRA had attacked Wilmslow.

Disley.

Cleethorpes?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: This station has a single platform.

Cleethorpes?

Was that intended as a serious answer? - Most of the services at Cleetorpes are the German built 185s

Coryton

Clue 5: Visitors to the British Isles from Queensland, Australia will recognise the name as there is a similarly-named station on Brisbane's Citytrain.

Ebbw Vale

 

[Robinson]

Ebbw Vale

Ebbw Vale Parkway, to give it its full name, is the correct answer. I think you can take the point for it though; I doubt that we need the "Rainham Rule" here as there isn't another Ebbw Vale in the British Isles.

I was naming the Queensland one - he says by way of lame excuse

Open Floor - I'm out for the rest of the day

I seem to have forgotten the British built part. It is only just most though, 1/3 of the service is the Barton 153, then of the remaining 2/7 of the service is booked 170. Therefore I still lose a point, and it is still hugely embarassing considering I know the timetable at Cleethorpes almost to a tee.

 

[dzug2]

As noone has picked up the open floor I'll throw in an easy one

1. This station has 3rd rail electrification.
