[Cowley]

Dundee (I'm pretty sure I'm wrong)

 

[Quakkerillo]

Dundee (I'm pretty sure I'm wrong)

YOU ARE CORRECT

in being pretty sure you're wrong.

I don't even know how many trains from Glasgow/Edinburgh terminate here. But obviously more than three.

 

[RJ21]

Stonehaven, didn't realise anything terminated there.

 

[Cowley]

Blimey. I've never got one of these right before.

I'll have a go but I've not done one of these before so here goes.

1: This station is south of Birmingham

Ivybridge

 

[Cowley]

Not Ivybridge

Clue 2: This station is served by classes 143, 150, 153 and I think that's probably (hopefully) all.

 

[Quakkerillo]

Errr.... It is Stonehaven as guessed by RJ21.

If you read what I said, I said you were correct in assuming you were wrong. I hope RJ doesn't mind you started a new round here...

 

[RJ21]

Don't mind at all, carry on.

Exmouth?

 

[Cowley]

Oh how embarrassing. . My cheeks are flushed with shame, sorry RJ21. In my excitement of believing I actually got one right I overwhelmed my brain with froth.

I'll carry on but I feel all wrong.

Not Exmouth then

Clue 3: This station has a signal box which is tidy and smart but disused (that ought to do it).

 

[martinsh]

Torre ?

 

[Cowley]

Not Torre

Clue 4: This station has two platforms and a level crossing, platform 2 being accessed via the level crossing.

One of the guesses so far has been pretty close I must say.

 

[RJ21]

Following the OS map from my previous guess northwards I arrive at Topsham which is marked as having a level crossing.

I think I'll use my destination (or journey midpoint as I'm going home afterwards) for tomorrow for the next round.

Clue 1: The station is an interchange with none NR services.

 

[DasLunatic]

Does this include buses?

Stratford Regional

Do you include heritage lines in the term "non NR services" ?

Altrincham ?

 

[RJ21]

I would normally only say it is an actual public transport service, excluding buses, we have two valid, if incorrect, answers so time for;

Clue 2:All lines are electrified, using AC & DC systems. (clarification on that, all lines are electrified, though not all are to the same system)
