I have semaphores still but I am on a main line

That's a bit naughty of you....I checked this morning at 06:00 and no-one still had tried to answer my conundrum. I cannot be expected to be on the quiz forum all the time...there are threads to reply to on other forums, such as the Marmite one on the GR forum.

Why don't you and HST Power try to solve mine?

I would try and guess it if I knew what the clues were, by the time I've managed to find some, I've forgotten the first! Sorry about butting in, it just seemed that the thread had frozen for a bit, I have taken mine off

There are some intermittant INTERNET problems this morning. Still, for the sake of good order, the clues are:-
1) Station is in Scotland
2) Has only ONE platform
3) Had a water tank.

I first posted this on 21st May and have had 4 incorrect answers....and a Newcastle United fan on to date. I do look regularly to check.

 

[Class172]

Hmmm... My railway knowledge doesn't go any farther north than Carlisle, so it's going to be a complete guess. My first thoughts is that it is on the Inverness-Kyle line: Achnasheen?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sorry, not so. But a brave try with a Gaelic name

Date of first entry : 21st May 2011....with 5 unsuccessful answers so far.

A further clue....it is NOT on a coastline.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sorry , not so. I have given 4 clues now. 6 incorrect answers.

 

[blackettstreet]

alness? random guess

EDIT: floor open if right (but its not...)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Still incorrect, even for a Newcastle United fan.

Now 7 incorrect answers....Is there anyone else willing to try. This has been running since 21st May.

 

[Class172]

It seems that everyone has given up, I honestly don't have a clue!

THEN I WILL PUT YOU ALL OUT OF YOUR MISERY
Dont forget that I gave FOUR clues
1) A station in Scotland
2) Only has one platform
3) Had a water tank
4) Not on a coastline

The correct answer is one of the most desolate stations in Britain not far from County March summit (708 feet).

It is ALTNABREAC, two stops before Georgemas Junction on the line from Inverness to Thurso/Wick.

NOW BACK TO OPEN FORUM

 

[Class172]

Hmmm... If it's open...

I have 4 platforms, two are used regularly and two are used twice daily respectively

 

[blackettstreet]

at an optimistic guess... grantham

 

[Class172]

Nope!

 

[HST Power]

I was thinking Carlisle but it has double the platforms, so I don't know!

 

[blackettstreet]

blackburn?

 

[Class172]

I was thinking Carlisle but it has double the platforms, so I don't know!

Nope

blackburn?

Nope

CLUE: it's not up north
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Two of the platforms are electrfifed.

 

[class156]

Barnt Green?

 

[Class172]

Correct it isBarnt Green. Platforms 1-2 are on the XC line but only two LM services stop here each day in both directions. Platforms 3-4 are on the electrified Cross-city line

 

[class156]

The station i'm thinking of has an Island Platform, and one side of it is on a loop.
I hope this isn't too easy

 

[OxtedL]

Well... me guessing Motherwell will at least prolong the clue!

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Darlington is the only island I can think of on a loop...

 

[Nym]

Salford Crescent

 

[Matt Taylor]

Neilston?

 

[class156]

None of these are correct yet, i'll give a little clue, it's on the WCML
