[A Challenge]

1. This station isn't electrified by 750V DC Third Rail
2. This station has six platforms

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Do I take it to mean it’s overhead electrified then?

If not:
Oxford?

 

[A Challenge]

I've just realised I have got the number of platforms wrong! What should I do?

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

That’s fine, just give us two clues instead of one to make up for it :P

 

[FQ]

I suggest changing clue 2 to give the actual number of platforms and just continue as usual from there.

Ebbsfleet International

 

[A Challenge]

Well done!

Slough isn't 6 platforms, its 5!

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

That was mean of you to say Paddington then if It’s Ebbsfleet!

No, it is six. Four through platforms and a bay platform for each direction.

 

[DanNCL]

Plymouth

Since when has Plymouth had OHLE?

Well done!

Slough isn't 6 platforms, its 5!

I'm assuming I got it right with Ebbsfleet?

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Oh yeah, forgot about the electrification!

 

[A Challenge]

Yes, Ebbsfleet was right?

I didn't realise there was a London-facing bay at Slough!

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Why did you say Paddington then?

 

[A Challenge]

Paddington is OHLE electrified - 800s use OHLE to Maidenhead and Heathrow services are also electric

 

[DanNCL]

I think I did get it with Ebbsfleet; so I'll start the next round

Not Yetminster
