That station is on the Airdrie to Bathgate line. Which services go into Queen St High Level as required by clue 4?

 

[clagmonster]

Lenzie?

No idea, never been in that area, not looking on wiki or anything like that, just a map so don'y know where High or Low level goes in Glasgow

I think I agree that it's more than a little unreasonable for Robinson to lose three points for that near-miss, so when I finally rewrite the rules (which should have had happened already :roll I think I will say it will only apply where there is clear daylight between the genuine guess and the offending guess ("clear daylight" meaning non-consecutive minutes, e.g. 23:36 and 23:38 as opposed to 23:36 and 23:37). Still not perfect though, because you could penalised for a gap of 61, but not for a gap of 119 (e.g. 23:36:59 and 23:38:00 against 23:36:00 and 23:37:59).

Even of that; to matters that are important here and now - Lenzie is correct.

If it calls on the through lines (via Partick), as Caldercruix trains do, it's Low Level

I think that is a fair rewrite, Ivo, as it will only penalise those who have been silly rather than the unfortunate. However, as the new rules are still in force I trust that Robinson loses 3 points in this case!

Clue 1:
This station does not have a direct connection to any rail based form of transport (excluding BR) on which orange ATOC tickets are valid (ie does not have a LUL, tram, preserved line with through BR ticketing or similar serving that station).

 

[Robinson]

Pilning.

 

[Ivo]

You mean the OLD rules are still in force

Filey? Interesting clue by the way!

Clue 2:
This station is in a Plus Bus area.

 

[Robinson]

Bristol Temple Meads.

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 3:
This station has precisely 4 platforms.

 

[Robinson]

Swindon.

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 4:
In the standard English version of Scrabble, if proper nouns were allowed, no blank tiles were used and no tiles were laid on bonus scoring squares, the combined words of this station's name would score 32 points.

Bradford Interchange

Open floor if correct

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 5:
This station is served by a bus service, travel on which is included with some rail tickets, linking the station with another transport facility.

 

[gnolife]

Not sure about 5, but I'm convinced that it fits 1 through 4, so here goes

Portsmouth and Southsea

Portsmouth and Southsea

Is the correct answer. Clue 5 refers to the Hoverbus, on which travel is included with tickets issued from the IoW to the mainland routed Hovertravel or with a destination of 'Southsea Hoverport'. It may also be valid with tickets from the mainland, I'm not sure.

 

[gnolife]

Right, I'm having to go now, I've just noticed the time - I've got an exam in a bit over an hour, and I'm still in bed.

 

[sonic2009]

I'm guessing it's a open floor
