Clue 3 : this station is ac electrified & served by 2 classes of trains, one of which has only been in revenue earning service for about 18 months

 

[Robinson]

Hmmm. I can't think of anywhere that fits...

I reckon it has to be in ScotRail-land as the only class that fits the "in revenue service for about 18 months" description north of Manchester is the 380s. But there isn't a single station that then fits the single-platform and served by precisely 1 other class of train criteria...

 

[sonic2009]

I would think again, I will give others a chance to think.

 

[Robinson]

I'm going to have a gamble and try I.B.M. Halt.

Why is it a gamble? Because it's based on a rather tenacious assumption that the 314s are the only class that work alongside the 380s these days (which I'm not entirely convinced is correct).

 

[sonic2009]

That's correct although the station is simply known as IBM, and class 314 & 380 work all inverclyde services now.

And 314s work all weymss bay Sunday services

 

[Robinson]

I am surprised that 318s and 334s are never seen on those lines now...

Clue 1: This station is in England but not in the former NSE area.

Class 318s moved to North Clyde & Argyle lines when the 380s were introduced & the class 334s only work Airdrie - Bathgate services, and select few north clyde trains.

Sorry, post corrected; that is of course clue 4, not clue 3

 

[andrew bell]

There are only 2 stations I can think of, 1 being Mansfield Woodhouse

 

[Robinson]

Mansfield Woodhouse is correct.

What's the other? I can't think of any :?

 

[sonic2009]

[andrew bell]

What's the other? I can't think of any :?

Barrow in Furness was the other, but I know its served by 2 TOCs so I thought Robinson might of made a mistake

Anyway Clue 1 This station is in NSE land (Clue 2 will be available after the football)
