The "Name the Station" game

[Buttsy]

2: This station is served by 2 TOCs

 

[Robinson]

Chepstow?

 

[Buttsy]

3: This station is on a single line

 

[Robinson]

Pembroke? (Actually only served by 2 TOCs during the summer months...)

 

[Buttsy]

4: The following station is a passing loop

 

[Robinson]

Saundersfoot. (The same proviso applies here which did for Pembroke.)

 

[Buttsy]

Correct.

Your point was taken about the TOC being summer only with your Pembroke answer, but, quite clearly, it did not affect you guessing the station prior to the final clue.

The final clue was to have been: Thinking of what was in the boot of a former Oxford United striker from the 80s will give you this station.

That's because there was nowhere else it could have been

(The Pembroke Dock branch is the only single-track line in Wales to see 2 TOCs serving it at any time of year)

I suspect I may have lost a point at Stoke. I shall have to check timetables.

Edinburgh Waverley

 

[gnolife]

Dunbar?
