The "Name the Station" game

Let's go for Cleethorpes.

We can't have a special Penalty-free event only exist for an hour, so I'll extend it - sort of. Between 12:00 and 23:59 tomorrow, the Penalty-free period will exist once again. However, to negate that, the thread will also observe April Fool's Day by making an April Fool of anyone who makes an error - between 00:00 and 11:59 tomorrow, two points will be deducted from scores where someone provides a dud response.

To reiterate:

00:00 - 11:59 = Two points off (the April Fool period)
12:00 - 23:59 = Zero points off (to make up for the minimal use of the birthday period)

Clue 2 : this station has one platform and is served by one TOC

Just playing interpret the clue, I'd hate to see the effects of a station being electrified when people touch both the station and the ground simultaneously.

Culrain?

Rose Hill?

Ouch hock:

Whenever people have tried electric things on me, such as those shock pen things and also a game my friend has, they have had very little effect on me. I seem to be quite resistant to electricity

unlike my avatar, which suffers badly

Clue 3 : this station has an hourly service, but other trains (same TOC) pass through non stop

 

[clagmonster]

Thorne North?

 

[Ivo]

Grateley

 

[Eagle]

Attenborough?

 

[clagmonster]

Attenborough?

Served by Cross Country also. However, you don't lose a point today.

 

[Eagle]

Grateley

Two platforms.

 

[martinsh]

Thorne North?

more than one platform, surely ?

Attenborough?

Closest guess yet, but has two platforms

Clue 4 : this station is adjacant to another form of railed transport, and has interchange with it

 

[Eagle]

Bulwell!

 

[Ivo]

PS hope it's OK to edit clues !

It is if no-one sees it (In other words, it isn't.)

If you miss a substantial part of the clue like that please don't edit it in future. This goes for everyone. If you need to clarify something, that is OK so long as the meaning of the clue stays the same.

Bulwell!

Drat. I would have said that but I was busy providing the note above :roll:

 

[andrew bell]

Bulwell?

Darn you Eagle!!

 

[Ivo]

Bulwell?

Darn you Eagle!!

Sorry - that IS a Penalty.

 

[clagmonster]

Does anything not stop at Bulwell?

 

[Eagle]

Does anything not stop at Bulwell?

Every other train (think its the Worksop ones that skip it).

 

[clagmonster]

Navigation Road?

 

[Eagle]

Navigation Road?

Nothing much skips Navigation Road. Also it's not paarticularly near Attenborough :P

 

[gnolife]

Navigation Road?

All services call.

I'll suggest that I don't have any ideas!

 

[martinsh]

Bulwell!

Bulwell is correct.

[ Thankfully, I was having trouble thinking of a clue 5 ! ]

 

[clagmonster]

If every other service skips Bulwell, then I'd say that is on the money. There is a nearby alterantive though if somebody wants to spread the bets.

 

[Ivo]

Five minutes until the new temporary C Penalty system kicks in (remember: first half of 01/04 = 2 pts off; 2nd half = 0 pts off)

Bulwell is correct.

[ Thankfully, I was having trouble thinking of a clue 5 ! ]

"It begins with B"

 

[Eagle]

There is a nearby alterantive though if somebody wants to spread the bets.

Nothing skips Hucknall though! :P
