The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

Open floor, too late (or technically early now) for me to man a question.

 

[Temple Meads]

1) This station is electrified.

 

[gnolife]

Manchester Airport

And sorry about the short notice abandoning floor above - my sister's picked up a nasty virus and I had to rescue the niece

 

[Temple Meads]

Not Manchester airport.

Clue 2: This station is served by 2 TOC's and 2 classes of train.

 

[andrew bell]

Bletchley

 

[Temple Meads]

Not Bletchley.

3) This station is served and managed by London Midland.

 

[andrew bell]

Hemel Hempstead

 

[Temple Meads]

Nope..

Clue 4: This station is served by 323's and 170's..

 

[andrew bell]

Lichfield Trent Valley

 

[Temple Meads]

Nope..

Clue 5: This station is pretty much built for 1 establishment, and it's passenger numbers are reliant on said establishment..

 

[andrew bell]

The Hawthorns

 

[Clip]

University (Birmingham)


EDIT: If this is right then open floor

 

[gnolife]

Bescot stadium

 

[Robinson]

Bescot stadium

Not served by 2 TOCs.

I'm almost certain Clip's got it right...

 

[gnolife]

I'm not. It'll be foul of clue number 2, as University also gets 153s (albeit coupled to 170s on the Hereford runs)

 

[Robinson]

I've got to admit I've never seen a 153 on the Hereford line.

Even if that were the case, would it not be true of Bescot as well though? I have to admit I didn't realise any Rugeley services stopped there, but assuming they do, that line is run with 153s coupled to 170s almost routinely.

 

[gnolife]

Oh. Good point

 

[clagmonster]

Also, University served two establishments, the Unoversity and the Hospital. That said, the station is served only by 170s and 323s, but is served by two operators. I can't think of anywhere that Northern 323s meet LM 170s, so the station must be served by LM 323s and another operator's 170s and possibly LM 170s. The only other place it could be is Barnt Green, with occasional XC 170 calls. I have no idea what makes up the passenger base at Barnt Green though.

 

[Temple Meads]

It is indeed University, I had no idea about 153's ever turning up there to be honest.

Clip's floor.

Personally, I'm unhappy about TM's clue 5, due to there being two establishments. I don't know about the 153s for clue 2, so I'm not objecting to that.

Fair enough mate, I didn't know there was a second establishment, and I have read that the stations passenger figures are dependant on the Uni.

For the most recent, Liverpool Lime Street?
