The "Name the Station" game

Herne Hill?

[Robinson]

Ash (insert obligatory gibberish to meet 5-character minimum here)

 

[Eagle]

Doesn't work, as you regularly see three TOCs' trains there.

Oulton Broad South?

 

[Robinson]

[Trainfan344]

Lowestoft

 

[Robinson]

Lowestoft

Which TOC besides Greater Anglia provides rolling stock for services from Lowestoft?

 

[Buttsy]

March?

 

[gnolife]

Healing?

 

[clagmonster]

I wondered about the Barton branch, but the diagrams have now been rewritten such that when the first train of the day ceases to be a bus, it iwll be a Northern 153.

March has three TOCs: XC, Anglia and EMT. As all three call fairly regularly, I very much suspect it appears in the timetables of all three.

I am slightly stumped here.

 

[Robinson]

The correct answer was Prudhoe.

Open floor.

XC didn't seem to stop on the GA timetable and the EMT online version of their timetable didn't show March, hence my guess.

But the clue specificied 2 TOC's not 3.

 

[Buttsy]

But the clue specificied 2 TOC's not 3.

I assumed 'stopping at' and I couldn't see XC doing so. I realise the guess was wrong.

 

[Eagle]

Floor taken.

1: This station is south of 55°N (or "below the 55th parallel" as one might say).

I assumed 'stopping at' and I couldn't see XC doing so. I realise the guess was wrong.

Actually every XC train stops at March (they provide the majority of services there), so I have no idea why that wouldn't be shown in a timetable.

 

[Robinson]

Carlisle?

 

[Eagle]

This station is not electrified, although others in the same county are.

 

[Robinson]

Gargrave?
