Guess the TOC

[P156KWJ]

no...

 

[me123]

Didn't think so. So I'll try...

Pathfinder Railtours

 

[P156KWJ]

no - you'll kick yourself when someone gets it or I say it

 

[me123]

British Rail

 

[laseandre]

EWS?

 

[P156KWJ]

British Rail

hurrah!

how about...

Ntratford
W: Tower gateway

 

[1D53]

Docklands Light Railway?

indeedy doody

I'm running out of ideas now to make it more interesting - just describe a TOC now instead of the north/south thing.

described by Rail magazine as having a hideous colour scheme and a name chosen by a three year old.

 

[me123]

I haven't read "Rail" but I'll go with One.

Franchise with the longest time until renewal / refranchising.

2 possible answers - one is a true franchise, the other a management contract

 

[laseandre]

Chiltern?

 

[djw1981]

That is the true franchise one yes.

 

[P156KWJ]

I haven't read "Rail" but I'll go with One.

One is correct. You wouldn't have remembered anyway, it was 2004!

Despite the name being named after their geographical route area - they still serve Scarborough :???:

 

[djw1981]

EMT?

 

[P156KWJ]

yep.

their colour scheme was painted on the majority of their units, and with certain units changing TOC leasing, their colour scheme has been seen so far with itself, FNW, Northern, ATW, EMT and ATN.

 

[djw1981]

SWT or FGW

 

[P156KWJ]

neither of those - keep guessing...

 

[djw1981]

I would say central, but ATN doesnt exist any more. If however you mean ATN liveried units, then Central would be my guess.

 

[P156KWJ]

still no!

 

[CraigS]

Wessex Trains?

 

[Mojo]

indeedy doody

Bank is further west than Tower Gateway.

 

[djw1981]

Hmmmm thinking out loud.....There are a few still in the original Northwestern stars livery....We can discount the 3rd rail gubbins (Southern, Southeastern, Thameslink, Silverlink), can discount VWC, GNER, FCC, C2C & LM cos electric. MML, GC & Chiltern & HT only do intercity. You have said that it is not Central, FGW, Wessex, SWT, FNW, Northern, ATW, ATN or EMT. Can rule out FSR.

Thus I now guess it is TPE (pre 185 introduction) or one...... or at a pedantic push Northern Spirit or Northwestern.....

 

[1D53]

Has to be TPE's 158 fleet.

Bank is further west than Tower Gateway.

oh I thought they were one of a few on the map that weren't - owing to lack of space. just looked on a geographical map

North Western trains (blue with gold stars) is correct.
