More TOCs than platforms - which does fit

More TOCs than platforms I assume?

Never mind :roll:

Therefore, I shall be opening a CONSULTATION phase for the rules of Name the Station.

Everyone, when you have a chance, please take a moment to read through the Rules and respond with any amendments you would recommend no later than 1800 on Wednesday, June 13th. These responses can be posted either here or by PM, and can relate to entirely new Rules or revisions of existing rules. I will then revise the official Rules accordingly.

Two areas that concern me:

'valid response' - if you are not getting a valid response, how long do you wait before either claiming a win or posting the next clue anyway?

If you don't know if the response is valid - and you can't easily determine if it is - what to do?

Simultaneous postings - the rule seems a bit harsh. Possibly ignore postings that are within one (two?) minutes of the previous one? Or certainly at the same minute. I don't see how you 'prove' the cause of any delay.

Not sure if token signalling is in effect here, but Whitehaven?

O/F if correct

O/F if correct

Between Whitehaven and St Bees token signalling is in effect so the answer you gave was indeed correct.

But not a valid one - hence the

Sugar Loaf Halt falls foul of clue 2 (as I posted before I could see it), so it's due a point off...

 

[sonic2009]

Okay. Sorry i didn't know that you couldn't post. I shall await for any answers off anybody else before continuing.

I can post - but I have no idea what it could be when it comes to the new clue.

 

[clagmonster]

Pwllheli? I presume it is only served by 158s, the link is the Minehead turntable, which was originally sited there.

 

[sonic2009]

Clagmonster is correct

You do at present - but if people want this changed (I am thinking that if invalid suggestions are made the Turn Player may proceed once either one hour has passed from his setting the clue or three such guesses have been made) then I am happy to do so.

Clue 1:
This station is not in a county beginning with the letter W.
