And which TOC runs only non-stop services through Carnforth? (The WCML runs beside, not through, Carnforth - and in any case, if you count Virgin you also have to count ScotRail...)

Dronfield

 

[Eagle]

Dronfield

Has one Belgian train a day.

 

[Trainfan344]

Has one Belgian train a day.

indeed

 

[Robinson]

Has one Belgian train a day.

Oh ****, Dronfield was the answer I was thinking of

6 points lost for a dud clue :cry:

 

[Trainfan344]

So is it my floor or what?

 

[Robinson]

Either your floor or open floor. Also, IIRC the dud clue means the round is voided (i.e. all penalties are cancelled).

 

[Trainfan344]

I'll take the floor then.

Clue 1: This Station is Electricfied

 

[Robinson]

Drayton Park.

 

[Trainfan344]

Clue 2: This Station is in England

 

[Robinson]

Gunnersbury.

 

[Trainfan344]

This Station sees services depart to 3 points of a compass.

 

[martinsh]

Wolverhampton

 

[Eagle]

Liverpool Central.

 

[Trainfan344]

Clue 4: this station is a terminus station where services are mostly diesel

 

[Eagle]

London Paddington.

 

[martinsh]

London Paddington.

Which three points of the compass can you go to from Paddington ?

 

[Buttsy]

Which three points of the compass can you go to from Paddington ?

I'd say North (Banbury/Worcester), West (Milford Haven) and South (Penzance), but at least 2 of those could be considered '-ish'.

 

[martinsh]

I'd say North (Banbury/Worcester), West (Milford Haven) and South (Penzance), but at least 2 of those could be considered '-ish'.

Quite.

Manchester Piccadilly - though I'm not sure if it would meet the description "most services are deisel"

 

[Buttsy]

I would say trains go to all points from there. Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham & Huddersfield, for example.

Clue 5 This station is located in East Anglia

 

[Eagle]

Norwich.

 

[Lampshade]

Norwich?

East to Great Yarmouth, West to Ely/Peterborough and South to London.

EDIT: Oh ballcocks

 

[Eagle]

And north to Sheringham...

 

[Trainfan344]

Norwich.

Is the awnser i was looking for, from the station it's east on the lines to Whitlingham Junction, West on the line to Ely and South on the line to Ipswich...

 

[Eagle]

But what about the line to Sheringham? (That diverges from the Yarmouth line sooner than the divergence between the Ipswich line and the Ely line, so it makes no sense to exclude it.)

 

[Trainfan344]

Indeed, i didn't intend it to be so controversial...

 

[Eagle]

So what now, as the clue was invalid?
