The Journey Game

[318266]

The journey starts at a through station.

 

[A Challenge]

London Blackfriars to Sevenoaks (465)?

 

[318266]

That does not follow rule 2. This journey is in scotland.

 

[Springs Branch]

Carstairs to Motherwell on a 318 (maybe even 318 266?)
(one journey per day in the evening - or could equally be the 07:00 Motherwell - Carstairs in the morning)

 

[318266]

The starting stop has 4 platforms.

 

[318266]

Yes, but not 318266 as that is usually found going round in circles confused. Imean the train could be 318, but is not the right anwser.

 

[Springs Branch]

The clues to this quiz have become a bit spread out now, so let me try to summarize the important info:-
- The journey is entirely in Scotland and entirely south of Glasgow.
- It could possibly use a class 318 EMU, and is definitely not a 158 DMU.
- The origin is a 4-platform through station which is in neither Glasgow nor Edinburgh.
- The destination is not in Glasgow or Edinburgh either.
- It's not Ayr-North Berwick or Carstairs/Motherwell or Kilmarnock-Stranraer
@318266 please let us know if any of this is not correct or incomplete.

Hmm, not sure I deserve that as another poster actually got closer to the answer, so Open Floor.

Penzance to glasgow central

 

[DanNCL]

I'd just like to point out that there are supposed to be four clues at the start of each round. I've noticed for the last couple of rounds this appears to have been forgotten.

@gnolife can we have the other 3 clues please?

Its been a while since I played this one, so I completely forgot that.
2) This journey has connections with one light rail system, which can be connected with at three different places.
3) You can change at three different places on this journey for connections to London, without doubling back
4) The destination station has one less platform than the origin station.

Ooh, a lucky guess, thanks

2) The service calls at all stations en-route
3) The origin station has a direct service to London
4) The traction unit's number does not contain any multiples of 3 (e.g. a class 455, but not a 456)

Skipton to Lancaster, class 144

 

[A Challenge]

Bradford Interchange to Leeds (180)?

Are you counting 0 as a multiple of three?

 

[RJ21]

180 is 60 x 3.

Leeds to York by Class 155?

 

[gnolife]

180 is 60 x 3.

Leeds to York by Class 155?

I interpret that clue as not containing as the class number not containing a 3, 6, or 9, otherwise its worded a bit strangely.

 

[Springs Branch]

Assuming Clue 4 is written to mean no numeral 3, 6 or 9 appears in the Class number, not the alternative interpretation of no multiples of 3 (as in class 456 = 152 x 3 so not allowed.)

Chester to Chester via Liverpool on a 507 ?
