I'm thinking of a station...

[gnolife]

And OxtedL falls into the trap!

A place where a train that stops at the station I'm thinking of stops at a place thats mentioned in shorthand in that.

 

[OxtedL]

Altrincham?

Never heard of 'em...

 

[gnolife]

You now know which line this station is on, you just need the specific station now.

 

[OxtedL]

Stockport. (which is the easternmost station on this route...)

Mobberley?

 

[gnolife]

almost!

 

[OxtedL]

err... Ashley is further west than Mobberley... :?

 

[gnolife]

I've just realised that myself actually, but Ashley is right

(I blame Alcohol for that error, sorry )

 

[OxtedL]

I'm at a junction on the Overground, 2 platforms, served by 8-car Southern trains.

That's pretty unambiguous as clues go, so make it go fast.

 

[gnolife]

Sydenham?

 

[OxtedL]

Nice.

 

[gnolife]

The least served of the three stations in this place, it is the only one of the stations to not serve one of two nearby city centres. It is easy to connect out of a train between this one, and the main one for this place, but not to connect into one. It has 2 plaforms.

 

[martinsh]

Pontefract Baghill ?

 

[gnolife]

well that took long

 

[martinsh]

Well, it was only a guess based on the first part of the clue - I couldn't understand the rest of what you said !
---------------------------------

This station was formerly two separate stations - they merged in the 1980s. It has three platforms in the main part of the station, and a fourth platform reached by a long footbridge that was originally a separate station. You cannot travel very far in one direction from this fourth platform.

Wrexham General

 

[gnolife]

Basically, what I was trying to say is that its easy to go from a train into Baghill into a train at Monkhill, but not the other way round (due to connection times)

 

[martinsh]

Wrexham General

is correct

Is it Open Floor, Matt ?

Sorry, yeah, it is.

I have 3 platforms; I am a junction station and I am served by a variety of Sprinter. I also have direct services to London yet services travel 'down' the line in order to get there.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Stourbridge Junction?

 

[Class172]

Correct.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Floor open

 

[gnolife]

This station lies in the shadow of a non-league football ground, and is a through station on 2 seperate lines, which meet again at a second station, but at different heights.

 

[martinsh]

Wrexham General - we've just had that one !

 

[martinsh]

Wrexham General - we've just had that one !

Was that correct ? I'm having doubts, now ...

 

[gnolife]

Sorry, I interpreted it as "I'm right and I know I am" type of response, so didn't think to confirm it

 

[martinsh]

OK.

This station is a single platform on a single line, but is immediately adjacent to a four way junction. Normally all passenger trains continue straight on over the junction, but sometimes diverted services reverse at the junction.

 

[Class172]

Why are yours always so hard.

I haven't a clue.
