Market Harborough?

 

[Ivo]

Market Harborough?

So close

Matches all five clues [well, not the "branch" bit of Clue 5] and begins with the correct word - but no.

The answer sought was Market Rasen.

-------------------

Clue 1: This station's name begins with a vowel. Anyone who answers "Derby Road" will be excluded from this round for their own good!

 

[Robinson]

Oldfield Park.

 

[Ivo]

Oldfield Park.

I'm not that stupid If the answer was OLF I would have made the clue far more ambiguous.

Clue 2: This station is electrified.

 

[Robinson]

Arlesey.

 

[andrew bell]

Apsley

 

[clagmonster]

Earlsfield?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 3: This station is in the NSE area.

 

[clagmonster]

Oxted?

Hang on - where's the junction bit of it come in?

 

[Ivo]

Hang on - where's the junction bit of it come in?

Is that in reference to Market Harborough or Market Rasen?

- Having checked, it looks like I've misread something. Oops. I'll take the penalty, and then forfeit my next turn. You can't stop a round midway through.

I thought the GCR passed through on a different axis, as opposed to being the same line that is there now.

Just for a change let's say Derby R... no, just Derby

No penalties for dud responses this afternoon (unless it's a repeated response).

 

[Robinson]

Walthamstow Queens Road.

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 3:
This station is not capable of being visited by electric trains under their own traction (with the exception of the battery unit - but that is not mainline certified).

 

[andrew bell]

I have no idea about where VT and ATW trains are built but I'm guessing Holyhead

 

[clagmonster]

Some of the Voyagers are Belgian, the 67s are Spanish. Everything else would have fitted (until the new pendo vehicles appear).

 

[andrew bell]

As I said I had no idea, thanks for clarifying that

 

[Robinson]

Kilmarnock?
