Ryde St Johns Road?

The '38 stock was built before BR was formed. I would argue that IoW stations do not fit clue 3 as said stock is not BR era.

I have to agree with this. Sorry Andrew.

Fair enough, I thought BR was around before WW2, obviously i'm mistaken

Started in 1948. But the stock dates back to 1938.

You might be getting mixed up with the Big Four era, which was 1923 to 1948.

Dorking (Main), assuming no 377s make it down here.

Well that's a stupid answer 377s run to Horsham!!! EVIL

Clue 4: This station is the smaller of 2 in the settlement it serves (but still sees substantial passenger numbers).

 

[Ivo]

Hertford East (assuming 379s never end up there)

As far as postcounts go, that was a very long interval between clues

New Mills Central

Clue 5: A locomotive depot was once sited at this station.

Not your fault at all. We just started spouting gibberish!

I am sorry to say that I have no idea now.

 

[andrew bell]

Worcester Shrub Hill? Honestly I have no idea if it fits any of the clues

 

[gnolife]

Rose Hill? (I Know, absolutely fails for clue 5, but at least it fits the other 4 )

Or not. It only fails my stolen clue

The correct answer was Yeovil Pen Mill.

The correct answer was Yeovil Pen Mill.

Gah. I thought of that the last time the "two stations in on settlement" clue came up but it never occurred to me for this one

Four Penalties issued in that round as well. The highest for a long time. And all for different players as well (d'oh ). It's also the first time someone has won their own round since Round #170 - compare that to a couple of weeks ago when I said Turn Players had won 12 of the previous 19!

Statistics coming up.
