I'm thinking of a station...

[MidnightFlyer]

Milton Keynes then, p5/6. p5 is the U&DPL or something, and p6 is the DF.

Having thought about it though, I am fairly sure than Norton Bridge is correct.

 

[Nym]

Norton bridge is the only one with a single platform, there a shed tonne of stations on the WCML with island platforms on loops. (It also depends on the definition of WCML)

 

[gnolife]

Macclesfield? im thinking of 2+3 for the loop

 

[class156]

Norton Bridge

Norton Bridge is correct.

 

[Nym]

Nice....

Err

My station is on a former mainline, has 2 platforms in use, and used to have two passenger branches and is next to a Motorway

 

[Welshman]

Eccles?

 

[Nym]

Correct, Eccles...

That really was too easy

 

[Welshman]

My station was the junction of a branch line to the siting of a famous BBC comedy.

 

[HST Power]

Staple Hill.

 

[Welshman]

Sorry. Could be, but I'm afraid it wasn't the one I was thinking of. [honestly!]

 

[HST Power]

Bath Green?

 

[Welshman]

Sorry, HST Power, but I've just looked-up your original rules and see I have been sparing with my information!
My station is in the Northern TOC area, and now has 1 platform.

 

[WestCoast]

Brockholes?

 

[Welshman]

Yes, well done!
Enjoy a cup of tea at Sid's Cafe!

Now, your turn.

 

[WestCoast]

The station I am thinking of is on the East Coast Main Line, it has two platforms and an unusual station layout.

 

[OxtedL]

Thirsk. ("unusual" is pretty ambiguous! )

 

[WestCoast]

Thirsk. ("unusual" is pretty ambiguous! )

Correct, I just thought Thirsk is high on the scale of "unusualness".

Your turn then!

 

[ainsworth74]

Edit: Too late

 

[OxtedL]

OK then... three platforms, on the south coast, and I serve two branch lines. Sort of.

A little ambiguity is always entertaining...

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Barnham?

 

[OxtedL]

Yes. Obviously a shortage of ambiguity there...

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Open floor

 

[WestCoast]

If it's an open floor, I'll have another go.

The station has two platforms, it's operated by Northern and there is a junction near the station with two branchlines - one still in use and one closed.

 

[gnolife]

Woodley?

 

[WestCoast]

No that wasn't the station I was thinking of. Another clue is that it has bypass lines. It is in the county of Lancashire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Accrington?

 

[gnolife]

Clitheroe?

 

[WestCoast]

No correct answers so far.

This station is situated on a line that once played an enormous role in the local leisure industry (and still does to a certain extent today). It's situated on a branch line itself.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fairfield?

 

[WestCoast]

Still not there, if it helps this line is in "new" Lancashire, not Greater Manchester that once was part of Lancashire.

This is a branch line off the West Coast Main Line.
