Does Phil Sayer make announcements at Charing Cross now?

I have absolutely no idea, only ever used Charing Cross once, and that was in 2005

Is he still at Brighton? (That is my answer either way.)

He was when I went through earlier this year. And Brighton is correct.
I get the distinct impression that the Phil Sayer clue was not overly popular...

I don't think it wasn't popular, just no one really knew where you hear him, as well as Seimens stock (I had to google to see which TOCs use Siemens stock and elimimated them)

In that case, carry on without me. In 15 minutes I *should* be on a bus - assuming First haven't been idiots as usual.

As no one else has taken it, let us have another go:
Clue 1: This station was opened in the 19th century.

Aw, crud. I read the clue the wrong way round. I thought it said more TOCs than platforms :?
Nowt wrong with that You should see the new clue I came up with a couple of hours ago - you specifically will love it!

"Is it "this station is not Twerp?"
Close: This station's name does not begin with a letter found in the word "twerp"
-----------------
EDIT: Search Results indicate that the word "twerp" has been used in 31 posts on this forum (including this one). The last six of those have been in this thread during the last 24 hours! (And the two before those were also in the last 24 hours, in the Jubilee thread.)
Only a Pokémon enthusiast - there's a new term for you! - would use the word "twerp" so readily :roll:

Barry? I'm trusting that there isn't an oddball 175 working booked to stop.

I don't believe there is; all 142/143/150 isn't it? And HSTs etc on diversion never stop there do they?
N.B.: In case you missed it, next time Robinson wins a round of yours, it's your floor. Our way of making up that Rainham thing. I shall refer to all future instances of an ambigious station potentially being correct (e.g. "Charing Cross" instead of "London Charing Cross") as instances of invoking the "Rainham Rule", whereby if we reach no resolution the game is scrubbed and the person that appears to have won shall have the next floor that the Turn Player wins from him. I'm not sure what else we can do (apart from where things are resolved quickly obviously).
