The "Name the Station" game

[Robinson]

Sleep at 01:15 in the morning? What kind of mad person goes for that sort of thing?

The musician who, at the present time, basically keeps himself busy by playing open mics?

1) This station is North of the route taken for a typical journey from Holyhead to Hull, completed by changing at Llandudno Junction and Manchester Piccadilly.

Fair enough

[Robinson]

Bradford Interchange?

Only considered clues 1 and 3 there for some unknown reason...

Inverness

4) To reach all three destinations mentioned in clue 3, as specified, you would have to travel on the same service from this station.

Helensburgh Upper?

 

[Trainfan344]

Stirling

5) This station is a request stop for some, but not all, services.

Stirling

Doesn't fit clue 4. There's direct services to Edinburgh that don't go to London.

 

[Trainfan344]

Roy Bridge?

 

[gnolife]

Roy Bridge is correct.

 

[Trainfan344]

Finally won a game.

1) This station is served by 2 TOC's

 

[gnolife]

Congleton

 

[Trainfan344]

2) This station Lies to the West of a Journey taken from Lowestoft to Manchester Piccadilly changing once at Norwich.

 

[gnolife]

Stoke-on-Trent

Edit: That's just as bad as what Robinson did in the last round...

 

[Trainfan344]

I make 4 toc's at Stoke, I should know it is my new local station.

 

[Robinson]

URGH, just got on the 1318 to Alloa. It's a 158

Runcorn?

Well, look on the bright side. At least there's alcohol at the other end

I'm stuck at home waiting for the gas to be fixed. As a result I'm stuck with no food and no alcohol

At least my electricity hasn't gone yet...

 

[Robinson]

Ouch!

Oh, and I may find myself with another penalty for Runcorn as well, unless we can ignore the summer-only Halton Curve parly...

 

[Trainfan344]

I'm afraid that counts, which means I still can't post another clue.

Been more than 24 hours without a valid guess so will post another clue,

3) This station sees services passing through and stopping.

 

[Robinson]

Earlestown?

 

[Trainfan344]

Clue 4: In one direction, trains calling at or passing through the station will then pass through tunnel with the same name as the station.

 

[Robinson]

Patchway?

 

[Trainfan344]

Clue 5 To reach the station named as the end point of the journey in clue 2 you need to change once at a station in a city that has a tram line running through it.

 

[Buttsy]

Ipswich?

 

[martinsh]

Oakengates fits all these clues.

 

[Robinson]

Blast, I forgot about the ATW Sunday all-shacks
