The "Name the Station" game

[Ivo]

Clue 2: This station is not electrified.

 

[Robinson]

Hawarden Bridge.

Oh crud, I'm not actually sure whether that's on the England side of the border...

 

[Ivo]

Nope - sorry. Is Welsh. Point off.

St Austell

 

[Ivo]

One for gnolife (had he been online at this time) now.

Clue 3: This station's name does begin with a letter found in the word "twerp". Too bad Clues 1 and 2 both eliminate Twerp itself

 

[andrew bell]

Taunton

 

[Ivo]

Clue 4: This station is on a short branch line that connects to the rest of the network only at one of its termini.

 

[andrew bell]

Paignton? (I don't know if it was in NSE)

 

[Robinson]

Trimley?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 5: All services from this branch line in the direction of the connection with the rest of the network terminate (and therefore connect in) a nearby city whose name begins with one of the other four letters found in the word "twerp".

Paignton? (I don't know if it was in NSE)

Assuming NSE had the same boundaries as the Network Railcard did (and does) then the limit was Exeter.

Trimley?

 

[gnolife]

Rose Hill Marple.

I hate it when the computer decides to delay my posts

 

[andrew bell]

Poulton-le-Fylde

 

[Ivo]

Sorry guys - no valid answers received as yet. Neither Rose Hill nor Poulton-le-Fylde matches Clue 5.

 

[Robinson]

Topsham?

 

[Ivo]

I could think of four, three of which are on the same line - and Topsham. Unfortunately however, one of the other three - Penryn - was the answer I required.

Open Floor.

You are correct

Alex Mcleish played for and managed Motherwell

Being pedantic here, but the nearest station to Fir Park is actually Airbles...
