Station association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Horwich(Parkway) had a large locomotive works in the days of steam, as did Derby

Cartsdyke - also a stone's throw away from a football ground (Horwich Parkway - Bolton Wanderers / Cartsdyke - Greenock Morton).

 

[gnolife]

hang on! Horwich was nowhere near a football ground!
Horwich Parkway is a completely different station!

It's not my fault people are turning a station association quiz into town association quiz!

 

[HST Power]

Well lets just stick with Cartsdyke and hence keep the game based not on town features, but features to do with the station and surrounding railway.

Like Cartsdyke, Polmont is managed by ScotRail.

Thank you!!!

I am sick of playing this game based on two towns lying on the same canal / Roman Road etc

Linlithgow - also served half-hourly by the Glasgow-Edinburgh shuttles.

 

[HST Power]

Like Linlithgow, Croy has two Platforms.

Eh???

 

[Eagle]

I think it does... isn't one of the Manchester–Paignton runs timetabled as an HST?

Nope...

 

[Eagle]

Then let's assume I said Carmarthen, why don't we?

I'm sure XC HSTs have gone down the Manchester route before... what am I thinking of?

 

[HST Power]

Carmarthern, OK.

Chester is also managed by Arriva Trains Wales.

Good. I wasn't imagining it. My apologies for not keeping up with the diagrams

From Ormskirk, Alton is another station where all trains start or terminate, despite trains arriving and departing in opposite directions

 

[TrainfanBen]

Kidderminster, also has a preservation line.

 

[AlterEgo]

Yarm is also very close to an impressive viaduct.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Huddersfield has a First TPE service to Yarm (Manchester Airport to Middlesbrough)

 

[gnolife]

Selby - also gets a mix of Northern and TPXs (including some from Huddersfield)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Garforth was a station on the original Leeds and Selby Railway that opened in 1834, as was Selby.

 

[gnolife]

Habrough - another station with some TPXs stopping, and some not

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stockport is served by East Midlands Trains, Northern Rail and First Transpennine Express services, as is Habrough.

NORTHWICH is also a stop on the mid cheshire line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

[37 418]

Oban is a fairtrade town, as is Sandbach.

 

[NightatLaira]

Stratford-upon-Avon - is like Oban in the sense that it is a terminus that only really has 2 operating platforms in use now, but used to have many more.
