The Journey Game

[DanTrain]

Leicester to Stanstead Airport on a 170?

 

[backontrack]

Clue 5: Four unelectrified stations are called at, those same four do not have services to London.

So it can't be Leicester.

 

[DanTrain]

So it can't be Leicester.

Good point. Peterborough to Stanstead on a 170 (is that even a thing!)?

 

[A Challenge]

I think there is a morning short working

 

[backontrack]

Peterborough
Whittlesea
March
Manea
Ely
Cambridge
Audley End
Stansted Airport

I'm afraid it won't be that - five of the eight stations are wired, not four.

 

[DanTrain]

Cambridge to Norwich on a 170?

 

[backontrack]

Cambridge to Norwich on a 170?

Cambridge
Cambridge North
Ely
Brandon
Thetford
Attleborough
Wymondham
Norwich

So yes, probably that one.

 

[RJ21]

No one has got it yet.

Clue 10: Peterborough is the origin.

 

[backontrack]

Peterborough to Bishop's Stortford, if such a service exists?

 

[DanTrain]

Peterborough to Colechester on a 170 (this is apparently a thing!)

 

[RJ21]

It is a thing, and the journey I'd picked.

 

[DanTrain]

Good one, thanks!
1) This journey starts east of the Prime Meridian
2) This journey finishes at a station served only by diesel trains
3) The traction is capable of at least 80mph
4) The journey contains a reversal

 

[SteveyBee131]

Skegness to Nottingham by EMT class 158 (Reversing at Grantham)

 

[DanTrain]

5) This journey is not run by an Abellio TOC

 

[RJ21]

Is it Oxted - Uckfield by Class 171? Another of those couple of times a day trips.

 

[DanTrain]

No, ‘fraid not.

6) This journey ends north of Purfleet

 

[RJ21]

Barking - South Tottenham by 172?

 

[DanTrain]

7) The diesel unit is not, however, capable of doing 100mph

 

[RJ21]

Think I'm going to have to go for Norwich - Nottingham by Class 158.

 

[DanTrain]

Think I'm going to have to go for Norwich - Nottingham by Class 158.

Two in two quizzes for you! Your turn.

 

[RJ21]

I was going to suggest that journey first but thought, no, must be more obscure.

Clue 1: This journey is by AC EMU.
Clue 2: It takes around 30 minutes.
Clue 3: It begins and ends within the same city's boundary (administrative boundary).
Clue 4: It calls at a single station within the boundary of another city (^).

 

[DanTrain]

Redditch to Lichfield by 323 perhaps?

 

[RJ21]

Clue 5: The origin is a terminus, but formerly was a through station.

 

[backontrack]

Manchester to Hadfield?

 

[RJ21]

Clue 6: The end of the journey is at a terminus, which has always been a terminus.

 

[backontrack]

Ilkley to Bradford Forster Square?

 

[RJ21]

Got it, over to you.

 

[backontrack]

Got it, over to you.

Thanks

1: The journey begins at a cathedral city.
2: For the ride, we'll be travelling on diesel rolling stock.
3: This journey ends at another city within the same country.
4: Perhaps, along the way, you'll have lost your marbles?

 

[A Challenge]

Inverness to Aberdeen via the Elgin Marbles?

 

[backontrack]

Inverness to Aberdeen via the Elgin Marbles?

That's correct! The Highlands' Own City to The Granite City via Elgin City. Your floor, good Sir
