The "Name the Station" game

[Trainfan344]

Berney Arms.

 

[Gathursty]

No one has got in the right area yet so... Clue 4: This station's only TOC shares it's name with another station that it serves.

 

[Trainfan344]

Upper Holloway

 

[Gathursty]

Clue 4: This station has direct services to a station (not) named after the lead singer of Simply Red.

 

[dzug2]

Sutton Parkway

 

[Gathursty]

Clue 5: There is an animal in the -middle- of my name.

 

[PermitToTravel]

Blackhorse Road?

 

[Gathursty]

Blackhorse Road?

Is there a direct service from Hucknall (Clue 4) to Blackhorse Road that is being hidden from us?

 

[Smudger105e]

Langwith Whaley Thorns?

 

[Gathursty]

Well done!
East Midlands Trains (East Midlands Parkway) - Clue 3
Down the line from Hucknall
and has a whale in the -middle-
Langwith-Whaley-Thorns!

 

[backontrack]

You also have two clue 4s.

Also, did you put 'middle' as to exclude Bul(l)well? :P

 

[Smudger105e]

I thought about Bulwell but that wasn't in the middle. Newste(a)ed was also a consideration.

Next one then.

I am west of London.

Ealing Broadway

 

[FQ]

Penzance?

 

[dzug2]

Radley

 

[Smudger105e]

My station code has two letters that are the same. (Hope that clue makes sense. I mean for example that my code could be AAB)

 

[dzug2]

Aberdare ABA

 

[Smudger105e]

I have no weekend services.

 

[Quakkerillo]

That leaves 29 possible stations.
I'll go with the busiest one, Millom MLM at 213,346 passengers/year.

 

[Smudger105e]

I am not a request stop.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

I am not a request stop.

And Millom is one busy station not to have any weekend services!

 

[Quakkerillo]

That removes 3 further possibilities, so now 25 are left.
SYSton, with 191,648 passengers per year.
(I'm going down the list)

My name is not one word.

 

[Quakkerillo]

That was already clue 5, and I still have 9 stations left.

Let's try from the bottom now. Hubberts Bridge with HBB. Also the only one in 'your' franchise area.

 

[Smudger105e]

Hubberts Bridge is not a single word station. I hope I have not made a monumental cock up somewhere here!

There used to be a halt a mile south of me, but it closed over a hundred years ago.

 

[Quakkerillo]

Oops. That was my mistake. I accidentally picked the one that failed clue 1 (West of London) by being... East of London.

Still leaves 8 options in my book, but I already played.

It looks like a new clue has been placed so you can play again.

Surely Millom has services on a Saturday ...

 

[backontrack]

Apparently Millom is the busiest station in the UK per head. It has the highest amount of people in the town using the train.

 

[Smudger105e]

No more attempts?

 

[dzug2]

It needs to be clarified whether the station name is one word or not - both Syston and Hubberts Bridge have been ruled out, one for being one word and the other for not being one word
