The "Name the Station" game

[Ivo]

No more than 10 or 11 miles. You're safe there... but I'd like to know what other rail transport serves it?

There is the East Anglian Railway museum (I think that's its name?), if that counts...

 

[clagmonster]

Fairfield?

 

[Ivo]

Not NSE and has fewer TOCs than platforms.

Blackpool North?

 

[Eagle]

Good, good.

No, you still lose points, because Chappel doesn't match clue 4.

How is that a form of transport?

There is a demonstration line, which is what I was thinking of. I hope that it fulfills the definition of transport though, else I lose points.

This station is managed by Northern (3)

Whitlocks End - aaarggghhh !

Passengers are carried on the demonstration line. There is even a gala on the 3rd of June, featuring the resident rod.

Presumably managed by London Midland. -2

How is [the EARM] a form of transport?

I guess it isn't.

clagmonster always prefers it when I'm strict - so I guess it's time to show I can be strict. Sorry - I think I agree with Eagle. A demonstration line is just that - a demonstration line. It might be able to carry people, but it doesn't technically transport people from A to B for any reason other than as a demonstration.

Having said that, I said before that in marginal situations I would be lenient to make things easier. So, no deduction - this time.

 

[Ivo]

I should have saved BPN for this clue :roll:

Wigan Wallgate

 

[gnolife]

You weren't to know what I'd post next.

This station is served by 2 of the 3 TOCs that serve my local station. (4)

 

[clagmonster]

Unless there is more than one 'station' on the demo line, I can't find a way to dig my way out of this one. -2 it is I think.

Which is your local station ? Wythenshawe doesn't have a station ...

 

[Ivo]

True.

Bolton

Don't worry. I'm enforcing the marginal case rule, so no deduction.

MIA I think (hence my choice of Bolton).

 

[gnolife]

Its one that I mention as my first guess to virtually every clue on here - Manchester Airport.

 

[clagmonster]

You live in South Manchester. Therefore, one of the TOCs at your local station is going to be Northern, which we knew about anyway. One of the others I'm predicting is TPE. Blackpool North?

Already gone

I said that already >.< That is a Penalty. Sorry...

I make that another -2 !

 

[andrew bell]

Heald Green?

 

[Ivo]

I make that another -2 !

Don't go there

 

[gnolife]

This station is within a PTE area. (5)

 

[clagmonster]

Oops, I missed it amongst all the EARM debate.
Martin, it is -3 rather than -2 for a repeated guess.

 

[Ivo]

Heald Green?

Platforms = 2
TOCs = 2

Sorry - that's a foul. Our scores are going to be destroyed over the next few hours at this rate

 

[clagmonster]

Served by Northern and one of TPE and ATW. More than two platforms. Huddersfield?

 

[gnolife]

Oh, and I make Heald Green a penalty as well - one of the clues explicitly stated fewer ToCs than platforms.

 

[Ivo]

I am struggling with this one :?

Served by Northern and one of TPE and ATW. More than two platforms. Huddersfield?

Managed by TPE.

You've got a lot of Penalties to record from quite a few of us hock:

 

[gnolife]

The correct answer is Earlestown.

 

[clagmonster]

On you go again then Dan.
