The "Name the Station" game

Bow Brickhill

Due a penalty

Bow Brickhill

Due a penalty

Fraid so - two platforms, though they are staggered

4. Most stations on the line that serves this station are request stops. It however - despite having a more limited service than them - is a 'compulsory' stop.

Coombe Junction Halt

If there is a penalty to be taken for what I suggested I am willing to take it

You don't get Penalties for suggesting others should get Penalties

...although insinuating it repeatedly when there are clearly no grounds for such a suggestion may result in a suspension. In a case such as this the clue is certainly unusual enough for a suggestion to be understandable, so there is no concern in this instance - or any other to date.

 

[dzug2]

Coombe Junction Halt is correct

 

[Ivo]

I thought of the Tarka Line at first, until my FGW timetable suggested that was about as likely as England winning the Euros

Clue 1: This station can be found on a line that is represented by Map MW, although the station itself may not be shown.

 

[Robinson]

Penkridge.

 

[Ivo]

Clue 2: This station's section of route is shown on the York to Weymouth section of the two-page map, not the Manchester to Birmingham section.

CLARIFICATION: By this I mean the route is on the page that shows York and Weymouth (among others), not the one that shows Manchester (and others).

 

[Robinson]

Melksham.

 

[Ivo]

But... but... but...



Clue 3: This station is not electrified.
Clue 4: This station has only one platform.
clue 5: This station has a very limited service.

hock: My luck's in tonight, then, I take it? I wasn't expecting that at all...

Clue 1: This station is in NSE-land.

 

[Ivo]

St Denys

 

[Robinson]

Clue 2: This station has 2 platforms.

is this not a penalty?. I thought NSE ended at Oxford.

I thought it went to Worcester - ICBW though

Hampden Park (Sussex)

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: This station is a terminus.

 

[dzug2]

Hampton Court

 

[clagmonster]

Hayes (Kent)?

NSE-land goes as far as Worcester, as NSE formerly operated services there. If it was Network area or some such, then there may be need for research, but the way the clue is worded I would vote for no penalty.

 

[Robinson]

Clue 4: This station features a grade II listed building.

Hampton Court

Damn a Penalty

Hertford East

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: Before opening, this station was met with stiff opposition from 2 different establishments.

Windsor Riverside?

 

[sonic2009]

Windsor & Eton Riverside

Windsor & Eton Riverside is the correct answer.

 

[clagmonster]

Am I allowed the points with my common abbreviation, or does it go to Sonic?

Firstly, it's only 1 point for a correct guess on clue 5

I think you can take that round as there's no other station called "Windsor Riverside" (so no need for the Rainham Rule).

 

[sonic2009]

You can have it but i think there needs to be rule where it must be the official station name (unless there already is one).
