The only concern I have is that the word "stations" in Clue 4 is pluralised, which may jeopardise this possibility (given it covers only Paddington).

Clue 5: This station has 8 platforms, although one is rarely used.

 

[Ivo]

Assuming (a) one of its platforms is rarely used and (b) some services run through non-stop, Orpington?

That would explain my concern from Clue 4 - it most certainly covers more than one terminal

 

[dzug2]

But don't FCC serve Orpington in the peak? Or are SE running the service to Luton with FCC stock?

 

[Robinson]

I was under the impression that the services from Luton were SE south of Blackfriars. Otherwise I'm due a penalty because Orpington is the correct answer - with regards to the other query, the services from Tunbridge Wells and Hastings run fast to London Bridge.

 

[Ivo]

South of the Snow Hill tunnel (I'm not sure where exactly; I always thought it was City Thameslink but based on what has been said on here - and not just by Robinson above - it seems to be Blackfriars), the FC+SE services are run by SE. At no stage are they considered a truly joint operation; it's merely a case of Operator A running the service up to a certain point, and then Operator B takes over.

----------------

Clue 1: This station has some services running through non-stop during the peaks.

 

[Robinson]

London Bridge?

Aww. I was trying to be clever that time. Now I have to join the OHKO club

And I think that makes you the first Double 15-er.

Trying to be clever never works; I've had a go at that myself and it backfired spectacularly.

3. This station is very much the lesser of the two that serves its town, though still quite busy.
