The "Name the Station" game

[Robinson]

Wymondham?

Most services there are booked for 170s.

The branch from Wymondham is already preserved, as is the one from Hoverton & Wroxham, though in this case in narrow gauge form. As there has been a good amount of time since clue 4, I shall now give clue 5:
Barring a county suffix, this station shares its name with a now closed station in Lincolnshire.

Appleby-in-Westmorland?

[clagmonster]

Barnetby?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 4: Although no train services calling at this station require a change of traction en route during normal operation, some of the rolling stock which turns up may be capable of operating on more than 1 type of traction.

I should say that I mean Queens Park in England, not Scotland.

That's unfortunate, because...

Queens Park (London)

Was guessed on clue 2.

 

[clagmonster]

That said, the one in Scotland is north of Carlisle, so either way it wasn't a good idea.

 

[gnolife]

Walsall?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: At peak times on weekdays, many trains arriving from a secondary route at this station terminate here; at off peak times they run through to the next station, which offers a wider choice of connections.

Birmingham Moor Street?

 

[Robinson]

Birmingham Moor Street?

In what way does that fit clue 4?

 

[Buttsy]

In what way does that fit clue 4?

I would have said that the Mk3s could be hauled by diesel or electric locomotives...

 

[Robinson]

Oh

Point taken; I hadn't thought of that

The answer I sought was Paddock Wood.

Do any 170s make Felixstowe?

Thornton Abbey (the morning 185 doesn't stop due to platform height issues)
