Clue 3: This station is served by 1 TOC and 1 class of train.

 

[clagmonster]

Drumgelloch?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 4: This station is popular as an interchange with another mode of public transport.

 

[clagmonster]

Oban? Has numerous ferry services, which fulfills the public transport bit, I presume only 156s get up there still.

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: This station also sees a regular steam special service in the summer months.

 

[andrew bell]

Not sure about the 1 class of train (that is my weak point) Mallaig?

 

[clagmonster]

Mallaig is only served by 156s also and was my other choice in clue 4, and I think is the unique answer (it can't be Fort Bill due to the sleeper, which will fail the one class of train, York and Scarborough both have more than 2 platforms).

This is where I am going to object. The Jacobite is shown in the NRT. Therefore, I claim that Mallaig is served by two TOCs and more than one class of train. Thus, assuming it is the right answer, I'm appealing for a dud clue penalty. Ivo, please can you adjudicate.

 

[Robinson]

This will be the 2nd time in quick succession that I appeal a penalty from clagmonster then - Mallaig is the correct answer.

 

[andrew bell]

I'll let the adjudicating happen and I'll submit this clue. This station is North of Leighton Buzzard
