The "Name the Station" game

[andrew bell]

Chepstow

 

[Robinson]

Pilning.

 

[Ivo]

Not sure he meant "just" east of Cardiff!

Cholsey

O/F if correct (it has happened!); I have a meeting in 14 minutes.

 

[Robinson]

Not sure he meant "just" east of Cardiff!

Me neither. Worth a try though; just as likely as anything else

 

[Ivo]

Me neither. Worth a try though; just as likely as anything else

In all honesty, knowing Tim it's probably more likely!

 

[martinsh]

Trowbridge

 

[clagmonster]

Newport?

 

[gnolife]

Fenchurch Street

 

[Ivo]

Six different responses

 

[martinsh]

What's the time limit before it's Open Floor again ?

 

[Robinson]

What's the time limit before it's Open Floor again ?

As it's the first clue, it's 24 hours after the clue was set.

(See post #120.)

(See post #120.)

I think you misunderstand. The way its phrased in Post 120 says 24 hors to set first clue, then 12 to respond to cluer. This floor is therefore open and shoulda been since 1314

 

[Temple Meads]

Sorry for the late response, I've had a very busy day

Anyway so far all are incorrect.

Clue 2: I am not electrified.

 

[gnolife]

Sorry mate, but the rules are quite specific about not posting when its your floor. You forfeited that floor by not posting after first clue for over 12 hours

I misread it

Indeed, not posted for over 24 hours.

Personally, if I was setting clues, I would let people know if I had to go offline, and approximately when I though I would be back.

I'm not too enamoured with "Clue 2" either. All stations within 80 miles of Cardiff are not electrified

Serves me right for not reading the rules properly I guess

The answer was Oxford.

PS: Martin, I did expect to check this again yesterday afternoon, however due to unforseen (note that word), I wasn't able to, also it's Ivo's job to decide if clues set are fair, not yours...

 

[Ivo]

The clues were no worse than clagmonster's "In Great Britain" ones

I shall claim the floor.

Clue 1: This station is north of the A14, but south of the M62.

 

[clagmonster]

I don't know where the A14 is. Therefore, using only the M62 clue, I shall say Wakefield Westgate.

 

[Robinson]

Matlock?

 

[clagmonster]

I still don't know who they are. There isn't a station called 'person', 'human' or similar, so there is presumably some connection between them. Presumably they are famous, so have appeared in the same television program or film or some such. I'm going to be random and say Aspley Guise.

Posted in the wrong thread. Do I lose a point seeing as I have already had a punt at this clue?

 

[Ivo]

You don't. It clearly wasn't intended for this thread. Also, the A14 runs Felixstowe to Rugby.

Clue 2: It is managed by EMT

 

[Robinson]

Sheffield.

 

[clagmonster]

Market Rasen?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 3: This station has direct services to London

 

[clagmonster]

Alfreton?

 

[Robinson]

East Midlands Parkway.

 

[Ivo]

Both still incorrect.

Clue 4: This station is one of the country's smaller "hub" stations

 

[clagmonster]

Leicester? Only four platforms, it is probably just north of the Felixstowe - Rugby road.

 

[Robinson]

Derby?
