The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

Derby Road?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 2: This station has 3 platforms.

 

[clagmonster]

Helensburgh Central?

Clue 3: This station is on 3 routes.

 

[clagmonster]

Llandudno? The routes being the Blaenau, Ludo-Manchester and Ludo-Holyhead all shacks.

 

[Robinson]

Llandudno isn't the answer I was looking for, but it nevertheless still fits the next clue:

Clue 4: This station handles DMU services which do not work under the wires at any point during their journey.

 

[Ivo]

May I request a clarification please? Does that apply to all DMU services or only some of them?

 

[clagmonster]

Sleaford?

 

[Robinson]

May I request a clarification please? Does that apply to all DMU services or only some of them?

The station handles DMU services which don't work under the wires. There may be other services which don't fall into this category.

 

[Ivo]

Stourbridge Junction

EDIT: Oops, I realised that was dumb and still hit the Enter key :roll:

 

[clagmonster]

Stourbridge Junction

How are you defining route?

 

[Ivo]

I was thinking of Kdderminster etc to Snow Hill etc and the shuttle, which is only two. I completely ignored that clue (hence my edit above)...

 

[clagmonster]

Have the Chilterns as your third.
My concern is there are through LM services to both the Leamington and Stratford lines, making 4.

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: This station's signage reflects its proximity to a local college.

Yes, but like Dzug2, I don't have a clue as to the answer, so don't want to post an answer that doesn't match clue 5 and lose a point.

 

[Robinson]

Everyone seems to have either passed or quit the game, so I think I'll just claim that one.

The answer I sought was Anniesland (the 3 routes being the North Clyde, Argyle and Maryhill lines). The bay platform handling the Maryhill services is not electrified, hence clue 4; Anniesland College is the college referred to in clue 5.

Open floor now.

 

[clagmonster]

I would have never got the college link there. I did suspect it was either on Strathclyde or in Hampshire though with you knowing something as obscure as that.
