I'm thinking of a station...

[martinsh]

Ulceby ?

 

[Ivo]

You now have the correct TOC, but the service is still not frequent enough. The service in question is hourly.

 

[martinsh]

Dove Holes ?

 

[Ivo]

Getting warmer...

 

[martinsh]

Wombwell ?

 

[Ivo]

Further away. Think flora, not fauna.

 

[martinsh]

Middlewood ?
Cherry Tree ?

 

[Ivo]

One at a time please?

However, you have provided the correct answer. The answer I sought was Cherry Tree. If the clue was imperfect, please accept my apologies - although I had verified it before posting, so... never mind. Your floor

Off to bed now

Broome is a kind of a plant too :P It fits all your original clues (the city being Swansea), although the later ones rule it out.

 

[martinsh]

Open Floor.

PS pity Flowery Field has a more frequent EMU service

 

[Class172]

This station has 3 platforms, though one platform is not used very often. I am served by one TOC and have a notable feature. Where am I?

 

[150222]

Rochdale?

 

[Ivo]

That could be a lot of places unfortunately. For all I know it could be Leigh-on-Sea, where P2 is rarely used (one a day I believe), and is unusual in that it has a bridge to what is effectively nothing (Two Tree Island) crossing the eastern end of the platforms.

I'm sure this isn't correct though.

 

[ole man]

Sutton Coldfield?

 

[150222]

Mirfield?

 

[David Goddard]

Gordon Hill?

 

[Class172]

None of these.

All the platforms are through plaftorms and I am served by EMUs; the nearest stations to me also share this 'unusual' feature.

 

[150222]

Aldershot?

 

[Eagle]

East Putney... the unusual feature being that it was owned by NSE until privatization, along with all the other District line stations to Wimbledon.

Platform 3 is on the curve to the Windsor lines; this curve is used by SWT during diversions.

 

[Class172]

Neither of these, though you have identified the correct type of electrification.

Think outside the box.

 

[Eagle]

Chesham?

 

[martinsh]

Chalfont & Latimer ?

 

[Eagle]

That's what I meant...

 

[martinsh]

That's what I meant...

Well I suspect we're both wrong as Chesham is a terminus and I think the third platform at Chalfont is a bay.

 

[150222]

Fratton?

 

[David Goddard]

Queenstown Road Battersea?

 

[Eagle]

Queenstown Road Battersea?

Four platforms, all in use.

 

[Ivo]

I think I may have it. For this answer, I am going to ignore the following advice -

Think outside the box.

- and think quite literally inside the box. The box - or tunnel - being the unusual feature, and the station being James Street (where P2 is rarely used).

Well I was thinking outside the box in a different way! hock:

Anyway, you are correct; it is indeed Liverpool James Street.

 

[martinsh]

though you have identified the correct type of electrification.

I took this as meaning 4th rail - as per East Putney - which is not the case for Liverpool James Street !:mad:
