The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

That's a generous Clue 1.

Derby?

 

[Ivo]

Too generous if yours are anything to go by

Not Derby. I knew very well you would suggest it though!

Clue 2: This station's name has only one word in it.

 

[TrainBoy98]

Chelmsford?

 

[Ivo]

Chelmsford?

Not NSE

 

[Robinson]

Barton-on-Humber.

Blast, looking at the wrong page strikes again

 

[TrainBoy98]

Not NSE

oh, i didnt think Chelmsford was NSE!

 

[Ivo]

Barton-on-Humber.

Blast, looking at the wrong page strikes again

You need to pay more attention I might have to drill this into you next time I see you!

oh, i didnt think Chelmsford was NSE!

hock:

 

[martinsh]

Buxton

 

[clagmonster]

Tipton?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 3: This station is served by only one TOC.

 

[clagmonster]

Erdington?

 

[Robinson]

Hartford.

 

[andrew bell]

Skegness

 

[Ivo]

Clue 4: All services from this station visit the main station in at least one of the three major urban areas in the north-east (Newcastle/Sunderland/Teesside).

 

[clagmonster]

Northallerton?

 

[andrew bell]

Stockton

 

[Ivo]

Clue 5: This station's name has at least one genuine English word in it.

 

[clagmonster]

Cramlington?

 

[Robinson]

Chathill?

 

[Ivo]

The answer I sought was Nunthorpe.

Clue 1: This station has at least one letter in its name that has a "tail" when written in small case.

(See how you do with this one )

 

[clagmonster]

Queens Park (assuming I have my terminology correct, the q and p have tails).

 

[Ivo]

That is the right idea, yes.

Clue 2: This station has 3 platforms.

 

[clagmonster]

Grays?

 

[Ivo]

I have to be honest, that was a pretty good guess! Clue 3 is therefore different to what I had intended (partly because I have to go out soon anyway).

Clue 3: This station is in Essex (or Southend/Thurrock before anyone tries being pedantic ).

 

[clagmonster]

Shoeburyness?

 

[Ivo]

I'm not in the business of duplicating stations I've already done
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Clue 4 (struggling for clues here ): This station's name has no spaces in it.

I can only think of three that fit now...

 

[clagmonster]

Assuming hyphens don't count as spaces, Leigh-on-Sea?

 

[Ivo]

Correctamundo.

Come to think of it, I could only think of two that fit after Clue 4, not three!

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 1:
This station's name does not consist of the word "Derby" followed by the word "Road".

 

[TrainBoy98]

Derby Road?

Oh wait, you said NOT Derby Poad? :grin:
