Station association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Handforth also has a garden area that was constructed by local people.

 

[Springs Branch]

Plumley has also been a winner of the Cheshire Best Kept Station award.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Mobberley is another Mid-Cheshire Line station with lowest DfT category rating of F2.

 

[Springs Branch]

Parbold also has an adjacent level crossing locally controlled from a signal box.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hoscar was also opened by the Manchester and Southport Railway in 1855.

 

[Springs Branch]

Waterbeach also has two staggered platforms separated by a road level crossing.

 

[cjp]

Waterbeach is on the line from Cambridge to Ely

 

[ValleyLines142]

Waterbeach is on the line from Cambridge to Ely

Hasn't it got to be an association with the station itself, as opposed to the line? i.e. something to do with the characteristics of Waterbeach?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible!

For example I might start with Cardiff Central, the next person would reply Kings Cross (both have a platform 0) and the person after could say Gatwick Airport (another Network Rail managed major station).

Perhaps this extract from the rules of this particular quiz will shed some light on the matter at hand.

 

[Springs Branch]

Assuming we have not dis-allowed Ely .....

Helensburgh Central also has three platforms. (and is one of very few 3-platform stations in Scotland)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Assuming we have not dis-allowed Ely .....

By the very wording of the extract of the rules that has been posted, Ely had had to be so dis-allowed as it did not meet the association requirements.

Waterbeach also has two staggered platforms separated by a road level crossing.

Therefore, it is this posting above that is where this quiz should be continued from.

QUIZ RULES

I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible!

Note that you should only reply with a station on the main BR network (e.g. not Underground or Preserved Railway) that is still open.

Perhaps this is a good time to cause this extract from the rules of this quiz to appear in print, noting the emboldened section.
