The "Name the Station" game

[RJ21]

In the game which is you learn something every day, it turns out the station which is 7 miles from the centre of Birmingham isn't in it's PTE area but one which is 10 miles further out is. Remind me if I ever have to drive to that area and then get a train into the centre never visit Coleshill or Water Orton, but Coventry is fine.

Tame Bridge Parkway?

Tame Bridge as direct links to MerseyTravel PTE

Has not as!

 

[Robinson]

Tame Bridge Parkway was the answer I was after. Looks like I'll be getting a penalty for a duff set of clues...

Oh, the pressure!

Right then

Clue 1 - this station first opened after 1945

 

[RJ21]

Ryder Brow?

 

[Idon'tKnow]

Kirkstall Forge

 

[godfreycomplex]

Neither of those; sadly
Clue 2 - This station is not within a PTE area

 

[RJ21]

Buckshaw Parkway?

 

[Idon'tKnow]

Tweedbank?

 

[A Challenge]

Lea Bridge?

 

[godfreycomplex]

Clue 3 - this station's platforms are controlled by different signal boxes

 

[trainmania100]

Smallbrook junction

 

[godfreycomplex]

Very good guess - but sadly not a correct one
4 - This station is only served by a "parliamentary" service

 

[RJ21]

I think clue 4 narrows it to two stations, I am probably going to guess the wrong one.

Teeside Airport?

 

[A Challenge]

Coombe Junction Halt I think, as it is the Coombe Junction Halt Station (or No 1 Ground Frame to Looe) and the Coombe to Moorswater Section

 

[godfreycomplex]

These are both excellent guesses I hasten to add; I genuinely didn't think of these two
However....
Clue 5 - Open water can be clearly seen from this station

 

[A Challenge]

Tenby is the digital token split point in the line to Pembroke so I think that counts?

 

[RJ21]

Is it Golf Street at Carnoustie?

 

[godfreycomplex]

Neither of those I'm afraid

 

[RJ21]

Too bad, that's me out of this round.

 

[godfreycomplex]

Not sure if I'm allowed to tell you this; but one of you is close
-----------------------
EDIT - OK; I think I've killed this one stone dead - apologies
RJ21; you were very close; the answer I sought was Balmossie
Open floor...

 

[Idon'tKnow]

This station is in England.

Skegness

 

[RJ21]

Berwick-upon-Tweed?

 

[trainmania100]

Flitwick

 

[asylumxl]

Berwick-upon-Tweed?

This is my guess.

 

[Idon'tKnow]

Berwick-upon-Tweed?

What are the chances of that!

Correct answer after 1 clue!

Your floor!

 

[A Challenge]

What are the chances of that!

Correct answer after 1 clue!

Your floor!

That is just so unlikely, and among any station in England!

useless fact: The City of Berwick-upon-tweed has been at war for the most time of any part of the UK!!

 

[RJ21]

So my pick the last station in England worked for once.

Moving on, Clue 1: This station, like the last, is in England.
