The "Name the Station" game

[Buttsy]

Goring

 

[gnolife]

Twerp

 

[Robinson]

Goring

I'll have to disregard this answer, as it is ambiguous which station this is referring to (Goring & Streatley or Goring-by-Sea).

 

[Buttsy]

Goring & Streatley is the one I was meaning to refer to.

 

[Robinson]

Clue 2: This station has the same number of platforms as TOCs whose trains can be seen at this station (including any which only run passing services).

 

[clagmonster]

Berwick on Tweed?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: During normal operations, passenger trains which can be sighted at this station are worked by BR-era and post-privatisation stock; the latter were all built by the same manufacturer.

 

[clagmonster]

Long Eaton?

 

[Coolguy22468]

Gainsborough Lea Road

 

[gnolife]

Bedford Midland (I don't think the 319s are post privitisation)

And I think Gainsborough is a penalty as I don't think there is any post privitisation stock seen there in normal passenger operation.

 

[Robinson]

Clue 4: Close to this station is a structure which is the largest of its kind in the county it is located in.

 

[clagmonster]

Barton on Humber (I suspect that even county only the portion in Lincolnshire, the Humber Bridge will be the largest bridge in Lincs).

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: This station is distinguished from another of the same name in the British Isles only by the county it is located in.

 

[clagmonster]

I am torn between two here, but will say Newport (Essex).

 

[Robinson]

I am torn between two here, but will say Newport (Essex).

You have chosen correctly.

Out of interest, what was the other possibility?

 

[clagmonster]

As a matter of interest, what is the big structure?

Clue 1:
This station is south of Carlisle.

 

[Robinson]

As a matter of interest, what is the big structure?

Audley End Viaduct, to the north of the station, is apparently the highest viaduct in Essex.

Clue 1:
This station is south of Carlisle.

Armathwaite.

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 2:
This station's number of platforms in regular passenger use is the square of a natural number.

 

[Robinson]

On the basis that platforms 2, 8 and 10 are not "in regular passenger use", I'll go with Crewe.

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 3:
This station has direct trains to at least 1 station in two of the 3 countries on Great Britain, and is within 1 change of at least 1 station of the third.

 

[Robinson]

Newport (South Wales).

 

[clagmonster]

Newport (South Wales).

Correct.

 

[Robinson]

Clue 1: This station is not in NSE-land.

 

[clagmonster]

Crewe?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 2: This station has 2 platforms.

 

[Coolguy22468]

East Garforth

 

[clagmonster]

Derby Road?

 

[gnolife]

Heald Green

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: Train services at this station are all provided by 1 TOC which can only run BR-era units here (assuming that they all operate under their own power), given its current fleet.

 

[clagmonster]

Romiley?
