Peterborough to Birmingham New Street

 

[Trainfan344]

Peterborough to Birmingham New Street

Correct. The alternatives from Peterborough being down via London or Up via Scotland.

 

[gnolife]

I think your clues are incorrect - specifically clues 1 and 5.
Clue 5 is wrong because, having checked the routing guide, the only permitted routes are the shortest one (via Oakham, Leicester and Nuneaton), routes within three miles of the shortest (no new routes added), through trains (IE the XC services from Stansted, already stated as valid by shortest route), or routes on map BP, which includes only the Peterborough - Oakham - Leicester - Nuneaton - Birmingham route.
Clue 1 is wrong because I do not think that theres any Voyagers or HSTs booked to work the Stansted to Birmingham services.

Anyway, on with the show!
- This journey starts at a 2 platform station
- This journey ends at a larger station
- This journey is run using a single class of EMU under normal circumstances
- We pass at least one interchange to at least one other mode of transport.

- This station has signs indicating it serves another, larger place.

Newton for Hyde to Manchester Piccadilly?

 

[gnolife]

Not Newton to Manchester Piccadilly
Correction to clue number 5: for 'this station', read 'the origin station'
- If you take the destination station's name, remove the last letter, and NRE will offer at least two other stations.
I know that's probably worded quite badly, so I'll give an example. If the station was Chester, taking the R off give 'Cheste', and NSE offers Chesterfield and Chester-le-Street as options.

- You could say that the origin station is quite colourful

Greenhithe (for Bluewater) to Charing Cross.

 

[gnolife]

Open floor

 

[ls2270]

Okay here goes:

Clue 1 The originating station has two platforms.
Clue 2 The destination station is an interchange with London Underground.
Clue 3 The rolling stock is an ex-BR EMU.
Clue 4 You won't see any countryside on this journey.

Nope.

Clue 5 You can only make this journey on Monday to Fridays.

 

[gnolife]

Old Street to Highbury and Islington?

 

[ls2270]

Clue 6 Train services from the originating station are operated by EMUs from one TOC on Mondays to Fridays and EMUs from a different TOC at weekends.

Okay, another clue to hopefully assist:

Clue 7 The journey is timed for 43 minutes off peak.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Clue 8 The destination station is on only one Underground Line - the Northern.

 

[Manchester77]

Is the destination Kentish Town ?
And the rolling stock 319s?

 

[ls2270]

Yes and yes!
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Yes and yes!

Just the originating station to go now.

 

[Manchester77]

Loughborough Junction?

 

[ls2270]

You need to go a bit further out - it's 43 minutes' journey time.

Clue 9 The name of the originating station shares its first six letters with a station in West Yorkshire.

 

[Manchester77]

Streatham?

 

[ls2270]

Nope - still not quite far enough from London.

Clue 10 The name of the next station to the originating station sounds like it should mean 'countries that are lacking in length.'

 

[Manchester77]

West Sutton?

 

[ls2270]

Well that's about the right distance from Central London now but on the right line.

Clue 11 On the same line as the originating station but further out from London is a station whosse name contains two pieces of equipment you would need for a game of cricket or table tennis.
