The "Name the Station" game

[Trainfan344]

Do we know what teh answer is yet?

No, i'm still convinced i'm right...

Park Street was right.

Watford North is named after the settlement of North Watford.

not in the Southend urban area/Essex

Some things never change :roll:

For you newer guys, there have been several running gags in this thread since I conceived it at the end of February. You will probably be familiar with Derby Road (the game's QI-esque answer); another is that Southend is often used as a dud location owing to it being where I grew up (note gnolife's signature; this originated with this post back in June). There are others as well - there may even be some newer ones that I am not aware of...

Can you give us the scores Ivo?

In a word, no

clagmonster will be going through the data over the next x days in an effort to bring things up to speed; I will be ready to assist him should it be necessary. It should be said that penalties and potential arguments over penalties making the scoring rather complex...

Clue 5: During normal operation, all services which are scheduled to stop at this station are worked using the same type of traction. This station also handles regular terminating services, which all operate using a different type of traction. Both the aforementioned types of traction are utilised by the various passing services.
