The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

Clue 1:
This station is south of Leyland.

 

[Darren R]

Euxton Balshaw Lane?

 

[martinsh]

Buckshaw Parkway

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 2:
This station is booked to only be served by BR era DMUs.

 

[martinsh]

Buxton

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 3:
All passenger trains are scheduled to stop at this station.

 

[PermitToTravel]

South Greenford

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 4:
Only a small minority of trains terminate at this station.

 

[PermitToTravel]

HSTs count as DMUs right?

 

[clagmonster]

HSTs count as DMUs right?

When I am setting the clues, yes they do.

 

[higthomas]

Swindon?

 

[clagmonster]

Swindon?

A few trains, including the sleeper, pass through Swindon non-stop so this fails clue 3. I shall wait for an answer that fits all four clues before proceeding.

 

[higthomas]

Frome, if one counts the avoiding line separately.

 

[clagmonster]

I'd count the avoiding line separately, so that fits the bill for me. Just for future reference, you should only have one guess per clue, there is a points penalty for having a second guess.

Clue 5:
Apart from some of the services terminating or originating at this station, all services serving the station serve the capital of the country that it is in (by country I mean England, Wales or Scotland).

Which part of Scotland is south of Leyland ?

Bedwyn ?

 

[clagmonster]

I was defining country, your cunning sense of detection should eliminate Scottish stations.

Bedwyn fails clue 3 as many West of England trains run non stop through said station.

 

[higthomas]

I think this is the only option, so here goes:
Pontypridd

 

[clagmonster]

I think this is the only option, so here goes:
Pontypridd

Correct. I always aim to leave only one option at clue 5, but sometimes somewhere gets overlooked.

 

[higthomas]

Ok, well, I'll give it a go:
It is DC electrified.

 

[martinsh]

Balham

 

[clagmonster]

Birkenhead Park?

 

[higthomas]

Clue 2:
I is only served by DMUs (not HSTs) and EMUs.

 

[clagmonster]

Southport?

 

[southern442]

Oxted

 

[Buttsy]

Redhill

 

[higthomas]

Clue 3: It is regularly served by four TOCs.

 

[fyldetrainfan]

Southampton?

 

[higthomas]

Clue 4:
No passenger service pass through this station non-stop anymore.

 

[Buttsy]

Guildford?

 

[higthomas]

Guildford?

CORRECT!
Your turn.
