The "Name the Station" game

[Buttsy]

Ilkley

 

[gnolife]

Clue 5) This station serves a rather large sports facility.

 

[Buttsy]

Horwich Parkway?

 

[Robinson]

Mount Florida.

 

[gnolife]

Mount Florida is correct
And Horiwch fouls at least two clues - its not electrified, and its served by Northern and TPX

 

[Robinson]

Couple of other penalties due on that round by the way - Thirsk and Bradford Forster Square both fail clue 1 (T appears in Twerp; B appears in Derby).

Clue 1: This station is south of Carlisle.

 

[clagmonster]

Eaglescliffe?

 

[gnolife]

Penarth?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 2: This station is within 20 miles of the sea.

 

[SprinterMan]

Nethertown

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: All rolling stock seen in passenger service at this station during normal operation was built in the British Isles.

 

[Trainfan344]

Lowestoft.

 

[gnolife]

Barry Island

 

[Robinson]

Clue 4: In one direction, all trains which call at this station terminate at the same station.

 

[gnolife]

Dingle Road?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: 2 TOCs' trains may be seen at this station. 1 of these TOCs runs only passing services through this station; the other runs non-stop London-bound services through this station (so the stopping services don't serve London).

 

[gnolife]

I'll probably be completely wrong here, but Devonport Dockyard?

 

[Robinson]

I'll probably be completely wrong here, but Devonport Dockyard?

Sorry - you are indeed completely wrong as Devonport Dockyard fails clue 4 (trains on both the Gunnislake line and the main line in one direction, in the other the 0756, at least, runs through to Cardiff).

 

[CallySleeper]

Valley?

 

[Robinson]

Valley?

Belgian Voyagers can be seen at Valley, although granted they don't actually stop there.

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 5: 2 TOCs' trains may be seen at this station. 1 of these TOCs runs only passing services through this station; the other runs non-stop London-bound services through this station (so the stopping services don't serve London).

To avoid arguments later, please can you define 'London'. I have an idea but don't want to lose a point.

 

[Trainfan344]

Seaham

 

[Robinson]

To avoid arguments later, please can you define 'London'. I have an idea but don't want to lose a point.

The services I referred to travel to a station or stations in the London Terminals group, which may or may not be in the City of London.

Seaham

Has Northern stopping services, but no Northern services to London passing through non-stop. Therefore doesn't technically fit clue 5...

Merry Christmas to all "the regulars" on this thread

 

[Frothy]

Luxulyan?

Merry Christmas!

 

[Robinson]

The answer I sought was Southwick.

Open floor.

 

[Frothy]

I shall take the floor!

Clue 1: This station is west of Southwick

 

[Robinson]

Shoreham-by-Sea.

 

[gnolife]

Liskeard

 

[Frothy]

Unfortunately, neither of those is correct!

Clue 1: This station is west of Southwick
Clue 2: This station is fortunate enough to have more than one platform
