The Journey Game

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Correct sir!! (I was thinking a 158 but will allow)
Well done, I thought this might be a difficult journey because there are many journeys Holyhead to Cardiff, but the Maesteg journey only happens on a Saturday so thought it may be overlooked.

It's all yours sir.

Well done, I thought this might be a difficult journey because there are many journeys Holyhead to Cardiff, but the Maesteg journey only happens on a Saturday so thought it may be overlooked.

Holyhead to Cardiff was my original thought, but as Cardiff Central isn't a terminus I figured it couldn't be that and went with Maesteg. Looks like I had the right idea!

Ok, here is the next one.

Clue 1 - This journey starts at a station with fewer than 5 platforms
Clue 2 - This journey ends at a station with more than 5 platforms
Clue 3 - This journey is operated by rolling stock that is more than 25 years old.
Clue 4 - The journey takes more than 3 hours

 

[DanTrain]

Mallaig to Glasgow Queen Street?

 

[DanNCL]

Clue 5 - This journey operates entirely within England

 

[DanTrain]

Leeds to Penzance on an XC HST? ...or maybe not!

 

[DanTrain]

Penzance to Paddington on a HST?

 

[DanNCL]

Clue 6 - This journey is operated by an Arriva owned TOC

 

[DanTrain]

This is hard! Maybe Paignton to Manchester Piccadilly on a HST set?

 

[A Challenge]

Penzance to Newcastle Central

XC HSTs don't operate to Manchester (or via Reading)

 

[DanNCL]

Clue 7 - This service is operated by Northern

 

[A Challenge]

Carlisle to Lancaster on a 142?

 

[DanNCL]

Clue 8 - The journey ends at Carlisle

 

[A Challenge]

Lancaster to Carlisle (sorry, got it backwards with the number of platforms)

 

[DanNCL]

Lancaster to Carlisle (sorry, got it backwards with the number of platforms)

That doesn't meet clue 1. The origin station has fewer than 5 platforms. Lancaster has 5 platforms.

 

[A Challenge]

Carlsile to Barrow-in-Furness (think its too short) on a 142?

 

[DanTrain]

I swear you changed clues 1 and 2 around to mess with out heads lol!

Carlisle to Middlesborough on a 156 (also a little short I think but you've got me here!)?

 

[DanNCL]

Clue 9 - This service calls at Hexham

(there can't be many left now!)

 

[DanNCL]

Carlisle to Middlesborough on a 156 (also a little short I think but you've got me here!)?

Closest yet; it isn't that one though

 

[DanTrain]

Carlisle to Middlesborough on a 142 (the only other route is to Newcastle which misses 2 clues)?

 

[DanNCL]

Carlisle to Middlesborough on a 142 (the only other route is to Newcastle which misses 2 clues)?

The closest guess so far, not correct though.

Clue 8 - The journey ends at Carlisle

Note this clue

 

[DanTrain]

Now you're really messing with me, I thought it was starts at Carlisle!! I'm really not paying attention today!

Nunthorpe to Carlsisle on a 142?

 

[A Challenge]

Middlesborough to Carlisle, and @DanTrain can have it if he wants

 

[DanNCL]

Nunthorpe to Carlsisle on a 142?

Correct!

There is only 1 train per day that does Nunthorpe to Carlisle; the 16:16 service, which arrives into Carlisle at 19:30

 

[DanTrain]

Yay finally!

1) This service contains a reversal
2) This service is operated by diesel traction
3) The origin station is a terminus station
4) The destination station is a terminus station

 

[DanNCL]

Cleethorpes to Manchester Airport on a 185?

 

[DanTrain]

5) The destination station has more than 4 platforms

 

[DanNCL]

Newcastle to Southampton Central on a 220?

 

[A Challenge]

Not a terminus, though if its counting bay patforms

Maidenhead to Marlow (165)

 

[DanNCL]

This guess actually meets the criteria, Mallaig to Glasgow Queen Street on a 156.

 

[A Challenge]

Low Level?

Inverness to Wick on a 158?
