The "Name the Station" game

[Darren R]

Well I ain't wading through 3496 pages of answers to check, but I don't remember anyone using:

Wallasey Village

 

[Robinson]

A sensible strategy might well have been to check the National Rail map for likely and unlikely routes, when set against the rules of the game

I'm afraid Wallasey Village fails clue 5.

You may wish to check the rules attached to post #908 - one of which says you can only make one guess per clue

Oops - sorry! Got carried away!

Swale? (I'm thinking on the lines of Southeastern used 508s, but I haven't got a clue about where. Wikipedia, that really accurate source of information, suggests that they were used on the Sheerness branch. As playing a station on a 3 intermediate station branch is considered to be something of an own goal on TNSI, this seems to me to be a reasonable guess)

 

[Buttsy]

As I've started a leg on TNSI at Swale, I'm going to take a punt on Queenborough

Sheerness-on-Sea?

 

[Buttsy]

Sheerness-on-Sea?

Already guessed by clagmonster I'm afraid

 

[Robinson]

The correct answer was Hampton Court.

Clue 1: This station is not in the former NSE area.

 

[GatwickDepress]

Four Oaks?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 2: This station is not electrified.

 

[Darren R]

Selby?

 

[martinsh]

The correct answer was Hampton Court.

I don't think the list of stations was narrowed down far enough. I would guess it could have been at least 50 different ones !!

Blythe Bridge

 

[martinsh]

Kilmarnock

 

[Buttsy]

The correct answer was Hampton Court.

If you are involved in TNSI quiz, it does narrow it down as, if you're playing the game, you wouldn't start or finish on a branch with only 2 stations on it as you have no chance of winning.

Maybole

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: During normal operation, all passenger trains seen at this station are multiple units.

Only Hampton Court and Thames Ditton were left after clue 5

 

[Buttsy]

Girvan

 

[Robinson]

Clue 4: During normal operation, all passenger trains which have this station on their route either make a compulsory stop at, or terminate at it.

 

[clagmonster]

Grimsby Town?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: This station is served by 2 TOCs, both of which provide terminating services. One of said TOCs provides a far greater number of through services than it does terminating; the other provides no through services. These are the only 2 TOCs to serve this station.

Middlesbrough?

 

[gnolife]

Think Claggmonster's onto a winner there, but for the sake of trying somewhere different, Barrow-in-Furness.

 

[Robinson]

The correct answer was Worksop.

Open floor.

 

[gnolife]

Taking the floor

1) This station is North (or West as appropriate) of a route from Penzance to King's Lynn, via the Berks & Hants line, Hammersmith & City line and the West Anglia Main Line.

 

[Robinson]

Foxton

 

[gnolife]

2) This station is unelectrified.

 

[Robinson]

Castle Bar Park?

 

[clagmonster]

St. Ives?
