-3 Back to the bottom of the league I suspect.

Grimsby Docks

 

[clagmonster]

Grimsby Docks

Managed by Northern. -1 for an impossibe response I believe.

 

[Robinson]

Newark Castle

Clue 5: This station is also served by one other TOC.

 

[martinsh]

Managed by Northern. -1 for an impossibe response I believe.

Well I thought it was probably Newark Castle as well !

 

[clagmonster]

I didn't realise there was a 2nd TOC at Newark Castle...

How do we know there are two TOCs?

 

[Ivo]

Not sure what you mean by this? You haven't given a TOC-related clue for this one.

P.S.: To everyone else who thought it was Newark Castle, what is wrong with Mansfield or Matlock (among others)?

 

[martinsh]

How do we know there are two TOCs?

It must be the unadvertised fifth clue !!

 

[clagmonster]

P.S.: To everyone else who thought it was Newark Castle, what is wrong with Mansfield or Matlock (among others)?

Nothing, I just had the same thought as you and we posted concurrently. Unfortunately for me, you got in first.

they only have 1 TOC as well !

I think I know the answer - have we officially had the fifth clue yet - so I can post again ?

 

[Robinson]

It is advertised now.

To repeat: Clue 5: This station is also served by one other TOC.

 

[Ivo]

This might sound a bit dim, but...

Sheffield? (The other station being Meadowhall?)

Wait a minute... not thinking straight...

It sounds more than a bit dim :cry:

Only considered Clues 3 and 4 here

 

[martinsh]

Gainsborough Lea Road

 

[Robinson]

Gainsborough Lea Road

Correct.

 

[martinsh]

Correct.

Wow ! Open floor - I'm going to bed now.

PS isn't Sheffield served by at least 4 TOCs ?

 

[Ivo]

Wow ! Open floor - I'm going to bed now.

PS isn't Sheffield served by at least 4 TOCs ?

I don't even know 'Twas such a dumb response :cry:

Anyhow, in an effort to get back on the level, I shall take the floor.

Clue 1: This station is south of Manchester and west of London

 

[clagmonster]

PS isn't Sheffield served by at least 4 TOCs ?

Indeed, but as the clue didn't say 'exactly one other TOC', I think strictly speaking Sheffield would be a valid answer.

Penzance?

 

[Robinson]

Cheltenham Spa.

 

[Ivo]

Clue 2: This station is on a junction

 

[clagmonster]

St. Erth?

 

[Robinson]

Bath Spa.

 

[Ivo]

Clue 3: There are more trains per day from this station to London than there are from Warminster

 

[clagmonster]

I suspect Warminster has very few direct trains to London. Therefore, continuing with my tactic, I'm going to say Truro.

 

[Ivo]

Truro is correct.

For the record, Warminster has only 3tpd to London.

You now have a postiive score!

 

[clagmonster]

Barmby Army!

Clue 1: This station has between one and three (inclusive) words in its name.
