Guess the Station...

[Track Basher]

I hope you have paid your joining fee and have your orange membership card.

I have an original grey one and a later purple one. Did not manage to get the red and white book version.

North Camp

Sellis89, we have 43 guests again! Record equalled!

For the photo, I'll take a stab at Grantham.

It was 45 at one point when I was on too. Wasn't looking for the record really, was just shocked how many non users were on here!!!

And I know its a bit out of date but seriously HST Power?!?!?!

 

[ole man]

Warwick Parkway?

North Camp

Obviously not then; I was quoted an £849 joining fee

Not North Camp. Both it and Saunderton probably fail to meet the 75-mile criterion, to be honest. It is not Warwick Parkway either.

To reiterate: Not within 75 miles of Bath, but it is within 25 miles of at least one station on the Wiki list of major stations. As an addition, the major station(s) is/are not in London.

Laptop is going slow...

OK; let's make it a bit easier. This station has OHLE.

 

[ole man]

Marston Green

 

[Ivo]

Not Marston Green. It does at least fit all the criteria to date though!

What would Master Yoda think of paying to become a Jedi, as though becoming one with the Force is something you pay for? "Hmm! Paid well, you have. Train you, I will. Hmm!"

 

[andrew bell]

Colne?

 

[Ivo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think Colne had wires?

 

[ole man]

Going round the brum area so try University

Your right Colne has no OHLE

 

[Ivo]

Not University. This station is further north than that.

 

[ole man]

I'm getting annoyed try Goostrey then

 

[Ivo]

Not Goostrey. I'm not even sure I could exactly locate that! All I know is that it is within range of Piccadilly...

My map indicates that it is on the line to Crewe, and possibly not within 25 miles of Piccadilly (but easily within 25 miles of Crewe).

Why play then if it annoys you? :?

Gorton?

Gorton?

Because i want to get it, I'm not annoyed with the game just my ability.

Lets try Fairfield

 

[Ivo]

We could be here for a while yet...

^^ As this statement shows, the answer is not Gorton.

To be fair Matt, I was probably going to post that about yours if both Caruke and Wishaw were wrong, because after that I had run out of ideas! (It had to be the very last one...)

 

[ole man]

Not Fairfield then, hmmm East Didsbury?

 

[Ivo]

Clue #12,604: The major station(s) is/are not in Manchester.

I reveal the station(s) in question after three more guesses. Or at least, three sensible guesses, so don't say Bath Spa, Oldfield Park and Keynsham!

Nice to see the thread thriving again!

 

[Crossover]

Bath Spa?......

Nantwich?

 

[ole man]

Bath Spa?......

Nantwich?

Nantwich has no OHLE.

Congleton?

 

[Ivo]

Not Bath Sp...

No, sorry, looking at the wrong thing. Not Nantwich. Or Congleton (which may be too close to Manchester).

One more genuine guess, and then I'll reveal the local major station(s).

Ouch, this is the 40th post of this one! Started on #19661; now #19700...

 

[Crossover]

Missed that about OHLE

Winsford?

 

[Ivo]

Sigh...

Sorry to disappoint you all, but the early beliefs about this station being near Glezga were correct.

 

[ole man]

Bramhall then

 

[Ivo]

^^

As indicated above, this station is, as initially assumed, within commuting range of Glasgow.

 

[Crossover]

Motherwell?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Also, I'm sure you said the station was within 25 miles of Crewe.....

 

[Ivo]

Nae. Is nae Motherwell. I have at least been through T' Well though, so it's a start!

I said Goostrey was within 25 miles of Crewe

 

[ole man]

Partick?.

And Goostrey is only 20 miles from Man Picc

 

[Ivo]

Partick?.

And Goostrey is only 20 miles from Man Picc

Fair enough Like I said, I wasn't sure.

Not Partick, although it is closer than Motherwell.

 

[paulravuslante]

Would it be Carstairs?
