The Journey Game

[ls2270]

Sorry typo in my last post - should have said right distance but wrong line!

Clue 12 The originating station's name contains the name of a bird.

 

[Manchester77]

So not Sutton loop?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Mitcham Eastfields?

 

[ls2270]

No, not Sutton Loop.

Think the clues should narrow it down to one station, but here's another to help:

Clue 13 The second half of the originating station's name features in the names of a series of films starring Matt Damon.

 

[Manchester77]

Urgh still no idea
(Probably doesn't help I've had now sleep for 28 hours but)

I'm assuming the films are Bourne things..

So ___ Bourne station

 

[ls2270]

Well, the first part of the word is the name of a bird (in the plural). The second half is in the film titles 'The...Identity,' 'The...Ultimatum,' 'The...Supremacy' and 'The...Legacy.'

 

[Manchester77]

Ravensbourne

 

[ls2270]

Hooray well done!

 

[Manchester77]

Haha woop woop!

Clue One - originating station is set to become an interchange with manchester metrolink
Clue Two - terminating station has three platforms
Clue Three - the service is operated by a DMU
Clue Four - we see the trains depot en-route

 

[gnolife]

Rochdale to Wigan Wallgate

 

[Manchester77]

Nope
clue five - the originating station also has three platforms

I am now going to sleep and we don't have wifi on until 12:30ish so until miday Saturday (today!) bye

Keep guessing though I will update avec clues ASAP

[gnolife]

Manchester Airport to Llandudno?

 

[Manchester77]

Manchester Airport to Llandudno?

Yeah correct!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Just as a matter of interest, did my entry of Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes also meet the required criteria ?

 

[Manchester77]

Yeah all
I never knew the 185s depot was in the Ardwich area through!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yeah all
I never knew the 185s depot was in the Ardwick area through!

Yes, you can see it at even closer view when you have just passed through the transport metropolis that is Ardwick International railway station...

Open floor unless the winner has an idea?

 

[gnolife]

The origin station has a 3 lettre code that is a word appearing in any English dictionary
The destination station is served by exactly 2 TOCs
The rollung stock is a DMU noted as being unfit for purpose
This journey is infrequent direct.

 

[Manchester77]

Is the origin Manchester Piccadilly (MAN)?
And rolling stock 142?

 

[gnolife]

I'll tell you that one of those statements is correct.

 

[ls2270]

Teesside Airport (TEA) to Hartlepool on a Class 142?

 

[gnolife]

Clue 5) You can see the rolling stock in 3 of the 4 stations listed
Edinburgh Waverley, Hull Paragon, Doncaster, London Paddington.

 

[ls2270]

Manchester Piccadilly to Cark & Cartmel on a Class 185?

 

[gnolife]

Someone not fluent in the three letter codes for stations could be forgiven for thinking that the train starts without us in the United States of America.

 

[Trainfan344]

Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester United Football Ground? No idea as to rolling stock

 

[gnolife]

Manchester United FC is served by 323s only.

The town where the destination station is has two stations, both of which have the towns name in.

 

[Manchester77]

Blackpool south destination?

 

[gnolife]

Blackpool south destination?

Nothing between Blackpool South and Manchester anymore.

This is booked a 185. Some services on this route are booked for a shorter train.
