Clue 3

The town this station serves stands at the confluence of three valleys.

 

[andrew bell]

[Welshman]

Todmorden is correct.
Well done!

 

[andrew bell]

Clue 1 This station is in England

 

[clagmonster]

Chester?

 

[Ivo]

Norwich

O/F if correct; just about to sign out.

 

[andrew bell]

Clue 2 This station is served by 3 TOCs

 

[clagmonster]

Fratton?

 

[andrew bell]

Clue 3 A forth TOC is seen here, but doesn't stop

 

[clagmonster]

[andrew bell]

[andrew bell]

[Welshman]

Chester-le-Street?

 

[andrew bell]

I believe a correct answer on clue 5 is worth 1 point so well done Welshman, Chester-Le-Street was the answer I was looking for, the floor is in your hands now

Drat. If I'd gotten up earlier (like I had intended to :roll I would have won that.

Welshman wins for the second time.

Still waiting on a new round from Welshman.

I should have added a clause saying that there is a 24-hour limit on awaiting the new Turn Player to commence his round. Obviously this won't be enforced now, but for next time this rule will be in use. I shall update the PDF immediately.

EDIT: Change completed. A new Rule 3.6 has been inserted, and the previous rules numbered 3.6 to 3.10 and have been revised to 3.7 to 3.11.

 

[Welshman]

OK

Clue 1-

This station now has two platforms, but used to have more.

 

[dzug2]

Market Harborough

 

[Welshman]

Clue 2

This used to be a junction station, and the main line had through services to Manchester and London.

 

[clagmonster]

Chinley?

 

[Welshman]

Clue 3

But the London terminal was mainly Marylebone[but occasionally Kings Cross],and the Manchester terminals Central, London Rd/ Piccadilly.

{Sorry, Clagmonster - a good try with Chinley, but as you see it doesn't quite fit clue 3, and it won't clues 4 and 5 if it comes to that! Please try again}

 

[clagmonster]

I'm going to propose that Great Missenden was once a junction.

 

[Ivo]

Not sure if this had direct services to Marylebone (I'm sure it did to Manchester), but such services were certainly feasible under the GCR. Penistone?

I'm going to propose that Great Missenden was once a junction.

I don't think it was...

 

[Welshman]

Let me give you clue 4:-

This station and surrounding area is something of an accident black-spot. There have been at least 9 accidents since the station opened, and that does not include an incident in 1916 when the viaduct on the branch line collapsed outside the station, taking a light engine into the valley below.


P.S. Ivo posted with Penistone whilst I was writing this, and that's correct. So, well done Ivo, and sorry, Clagmonster, but a good try.

 

[Ivo]

Next game coming up...

I am risking points deductions on the former junction clue. If it doesn't match clue 4 also, do I lose 6 points?

You needn't worry. The round is over. But you won't lose multiple points for a station not matching multiple clues. Also, it's only one point off per station

'Twas my first victory in 44 attempts hock: Not since Round 11 have I won a game I didn't set myself - and a much needed boost in my tussle with Robinson for top spot in the points chart. We have the same number of points for winning others' rounds and winning our own rounds - but I've accumulated more penalty points

Anyhow:

Clue 1: This station is not in England.

 

[clagmonster]

Doncaster?

Then I would say a point penalty for an impossible response (not being Penistone). If I had posted Penistone, it would have been a three point penalty. I believe in being harsh.
