The Bluebell Railway ;D He never said it ran their regularly

I thought the Bluebell Railway had a seperate station at East Grinstead...


Anyway, the answer I wanted was Ellesmere Port.

Am I allowed to say that clue 4 was a tad harsh then?

But still true

Its actually taken me a while to come up with a station I wanted to do for this, but I think I've got one

1) This station is electrified.

 

[Frothy]

Durham

 

[Trainfan344]

Twerp!

2) This station is north of the River Thames.

Stowmarket

3) This station is served only by Bombardier trains.

 

[clagmonster]

I we including the predescessors of Bomardier (ie BREL, ABB, Adtranz) in Bombardier for the purposes of clue 3?

 

[gnolife]

Clue 3 does not include any predecessors of Bombardier.

 

[Robinson]

South Tottenham?

4) Heres some vague details (IE not listing specific lines or anything, but stating where OSIs are required.) of how to get to the London Airports (Stansted, T**twick, Heathrow, London City and Luton) by rail (including DLR and Underground). I'm not saying which airport is which. These are for the simplest way, that is, the way with least changes. Where there is multiple ways with equal changes to get to an airport, I'm choosing the cheapest way. For this clue, consider only services that run 10:00 - 15:00 M-F.

Airport 1) NR (Northbound), NR, OSI, NR.
Airport 2) NR (Southbound), DLR
Airport 3) NR (Southbound), LU, NR.
Airport 4) NR (Either way), LU, LU.
Airport 5) NR (Southbound), NR

For airport 1, fewer changes are required if you use a different station within one mile of this one (by foot, distance is based on recommended route on Google Maps)

Dalston Junction?

 

[gnolife]

Dalston Junction is correct.

Clue 1: This station is south of the Moray Firth, but north of the Thames.

Clue 2: This station is not electrified.

Felixstowe

 

[Buttsy]

Aviemore

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: This station has the same number of platforms as TOCs whose trains may be seen here, including those that pass through without stopping. Charter trains may also visit.

 

[Buttsy]

Oxford

 

[gnolife]

Eccles Road.

If a train passes on a line without platforms, at places such as Kenton or Acton Mainline, does it count as passing through the station?

I guess it would be at the discretion of the Turn Player. However...

Clue 4: This station lacks a non-platform road through it.

That should clear that one up for this round at least
