The "Name the Station" game

[Ivo]

Clue 3: This station is within a 45 minute journey of Cardiff Central.

Watch it you - that's another rule you've pushed (five minutes minimum)

Anyway, Barry Island?

Llanelli

 

[Ivo]

Llanelli

Has a limited FGW service

 

[sonic2009]

Fine that's a penalty. But penalty's must be given if rules are broken, no exceptions!

 

[Temple Meads]

that's another rule you've pushed

This game has too many rules :P

Clue 4: This station is under 10 years old.

Ebbw Vale Parkway

 

[Ivo]

What I *almost* said last time - Rhoose

This game has too many rules :P

I suppose it does! But it's not as though they aren't freely available. And if there weren't any people would be throwing new clues every ten seconds and claiming victory when no other player has even had a chance to try!

And it's going to get worse when I write the new rules over the weekend

 

[Temple Meads]

And it's going to get worse when I write the new rules over the weekend

Oh good lord :P

Rhoose (Cardiff International Airport) is correct.

 

[sonic2009]

Another rule to add. It has to be the correct station name, no shortened version!

 

[Ivo]

Another rule to add. It has to be the correct station name, no shortened version!

Duly noted - this will be added. My apologies in this instance.

I will try to condense the rules, but it has to be professional and complete to prevent any future problems that may come up. It's like football - it's a very simple game but there are a lot of rules in place governing play.

Anyway, on we go. Clue 1: This station is electrified.

 

[sonic2009]

Ivo don't apologize

Let's guess Emerson Park

 

[Ivo]

Clue 2: This station is east of Leeds, and north of London.

 

[sonic2009]

Retford

 

[Ivo]

Clue 3: This station's name would be worth less than ten points in Scrabble.

 

[sonic2009]

St Neots

 

[Robinson]

Ely...

 

[Ivo]

Clue 4: This station is served by one TOC, on a 2tph (per direction) basis.

 

[clagmonster]

Diss?

 

[Ivo]

Aww, I had a super fifth clue lined up, but now it isn't necessary because Diss is correct

"In relation to Clue 3, if you played this station's name in Scrabble it really would score - because it's in the dictionary!"

 

[clagmonster]

Is it in as the abreviation of 'disrespect'?

Clue 1:
This station is north of Eastleigh.

 

[Ivo]

Wild guess; O/F if correct: Derby Road

Is it in as the abreviation of 'disrespect'?

That never occurred to me

It is, although the term "diss" is essentially its own word in modern English.

 

[Temple Meads]

Mortimer?

 

[Robinson]

Sugar Loaf Halt.

 

[Johnuk123]

Banbury

Clue 3:
This station has precisely 3 platforms.
