The "Name the Station" game

[Buttsy]

Town Green

 

[Eagle]

That's a settlement.

 

[Buttsy]

Dammit!

 

[Eagle]

5: This station is part of a plan for a light rail conversion.

 

[Robinson]

Bat & Ball.

 

[Buttsy]

Dean Lane?

 

[Ivo]

Manor Road, on the Wirral Line.

...ignore me.

Does the five-minute rule not apply now?

 

[Robinson]

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Clue 5 appears just as I'm typing

 

[Eagle]

Dean Lane?

That's not National Rail. (Nor is it even called that anymore :P)

 

[Buttsy]

I shouldn't have had those 5 pints earlier...

 

[Robinson]

Does the five-minute rule not apply now?

I haven't heard anything to suggest it doesn't. There have been several instances where the player with the floor has proceeded without a valid answer when none have been provided, in some cases within a few days, on the other hand...

 

[Eagle]

Come on... electrified line, conversion to light rail...

 

[Buttsy]

I'm not allowed to hazard another guess...

 

[Ivo]

Come on... electrified line, conversion to light rail...

We all messed up by jumping in when Clue 5 was in the making, meaning there are no players around to continue the game. I'm half expecting the answer to be on the St Albans Abbey route - does that run on Sundays? - but I'm not permitted another guess either.

In other words, give us the answer and then go again

[Eagle]

I never said anything about Sundays!

I'm going to let the two of you who accidentally posted after clue 5 have another guess, in the interest of fairness.

 

[Ivo]

Whoops, thinking of the wrong round

Very kind of you to do so. Is How Wood named after a settlement?

 

[Eagle]

It appears in the index of my road atlas, so I'd say that it is.

 

[Robinson]

I'll have a shot at Park Street.

 

[Ivo]

How Wood isn't in my atlas...

...but Park Street is.

Oh, and having checked my super-scale atlas, so is How Wood

 

[Robinson]

And I wasn't using an atlas at all there, just Google Maps...

PS You may have noticed that during your absence there have been a further 2 rounds where the required station was Derby Road... both set by the same player

Only two?

Were there any One-Hit KO rounds? I see you managed it only a few days ago - and then almost suffered the same fate on your turn! Good stuff everyone

 

[Trainfan344]

Watford North

Think there might have been one a while back where the classic response to "This station is south of Carlisle" actually came good (Penrith North Lakes)

Watford North

That has to count as "named after a settlement" surely?

So where is this settlement named "Watford North"?

 

[Ivo]

So where is this settlement named "Watford North"?

That slight edit should answer your question.

 

[Robinson]

I don't remember the clue saying the station had to have the exact same name as the settlement it is named after...

 

[Trainfan344]

That slight edit should answer your question.

In which case the station would be called "watford" Surely? so "Watford North" would take it from Watford North

THIS IS MY LOGIC...

 

[Buttsy]

Do we know what teh answer is yet?
