[clagmonster]

Clue 5:

[clagmonster]

The answer I was looking for was Bere Alston, I thought I had got it down to one possibility, so appologies for that.

Clue 1:

[gnolife]

New Clee

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 2:
This station has direct services to at least 3 counties, including the county in which it is situated.

 

[gnolife]

Manchester Airport (I know it's a bit of a long shot )

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 3:
This station is primarily served by BR era roling stock. Apart from an occasional passing freight, only DMUs are seen here.

 

[Searle]

Weston Super Mare? This is a difficult one!

 

[gnolife]

Hope Derbyshire (I hope theres freight through Hope Valley)

I think Weston is a penalty - the 12:06 for Paignton is a HST

 

[Searle]

ahh, wrongly assumed all the HST's don't take the loop!

 

[clagmonster]

I will not award a penalty as in my book HSTs are units.

Clue 4:
This station is managed by Northern Rail.

 

[gnolife]

Trafford Park?
