The "Name the Station" game

[Robinson]

Clue 4: From this station it is possible to travel to London direct by 2 different routes, but I won't say which terminal/terminals you'll end up at.

 

[Trainfan344]

Cardiff Queen Street (3 platforms, 1 TOC)?

3 is a prime number, as is 1.

 

[Robinson]

3 is a prime number, as is 1.

1 is not a prime number. Also I said the number of platforms is prime.

 

[Trainfan344]

1 is not a prime number. Also I said the number of platforms is prime.

Correction, you count it as not being a prime number, i spent half my year 11 arguing about whether or not 1 is a prime...

From my number theory lecture notes:
A prime number, n, is a natural number greater than 1 which is divisible only by 1 and itself.

The crucial point is that a prime number has precisely 2 factors.

 

[clagmonster]

Indeed, there are various ways of defining a prime, stating that it has precisely two distinct factors and missing the greater than 1 part would do the trick.

Clue 1:
