The "Name the Station" game

[Ivo]

Clue 1:
This station does not contain the letter 'q' in it's name.

Well, it's better than some of your other ones

Bridlington

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 2:
This station is not served by electric trains.

 

[Robinson]

Cathays.

 

[gnolife]

Marple

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 3:
In the English version, if proper nouns were allowed, no blank tiles were used and no tiles were laid on bonus squares, this station would score 7 points in a game of Scrabble.

 

[Robinson]

Stroud.

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 4:
This station has 2 servicable platforms, of which one is booked to be used by scheduled services.

 

[Ivo]

DENTON!!!!

 

[Robinson]

Denton?

Damn, too slow

 

[clagmonster]

DENTON!!!!

Correct. -3 for Robinson (I hope to compile a bonus summary tomorrow, Ivo).

 

[Ivo]

OK. I've got a lot of catching up to do

Clue 1: This station has more than 2 but less than 6 platforms.

 

[clagmonster]

Kentish Town?

 

[gnolife]

Manchester Airport

 

[Ivo]

Neither of those.

Clue 2: This station has through services to London.

 

[clagmonster]

Peterborough?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 3: This station is not electrified.

 

[clagmonster]

Kettering?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 4: This station is situated in the administrative centre of its county.

 

[clagmonster]

Truro?

 

[Ivo]

Clue 5: This station has a suffix that is rarely seen these days.

 

[clagmonster]

Can you clarify 'rarely seen' please. Do you mean that the station is normally referred to only by the bit that isn't the suffix, or that it doesn't share the suffix with many other stations.

 

[Ivo]

Oh, sorry. I should have said "rarely used". Your first assumption is the correct one.

Like Carlisle Citadel for instance.

 

[clagmonster]

Assuming I have interpreted the clue correctly, Swansea High Street.

 

[Ivo]

Until a couple of days ago I had never seen the High Street suffix in use! I would of course have accepted it anyway.

Not that Swansea is correct though: The answer I sought was Lincoln. (So apparently I am in the business of duplicating stations after all )

I shan't be taking the floor.

 

[Robinson]

Let's have another crack at this, then...

Clue 1: This station is AC electrified.

 

[martinsh]

The answer I sought was Lincoln.

Just to say that Hereford (Barrs Court) fits the above 5 clues as well, as does Derby (Midland)

As for new one - Sandy

 

[gnolife]

Heald Green

 

[clagmonster]

Crewe?

 

[Johnuk123]

Litchfield T.V.

 

[Ivo]

Chester-le-Street (you didn't say it had to be served by electrics )

Just to say that Hereford (Barrs Court) fits the above 5 clues as well, as does Derby (Midland)

Hereford didn't occur to me; Derby did.
