The "Name the Station" game

[Robinson]

Clue 2: This station is more than 20 miles from the coast.

 

[martinsh]

Peartree

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: This station has the same number of platforms as TOCs which pass through. TOCs which pass through may or may not also run services which call here.

 

[gnolife]

Wilmslow

 

[martinsh]

Smethwick Galton Bridge

 

[clagmonster]

Dorridge?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 4: This station is booked for service by pre-privatisation stock only, although precisely 2 classes of post-privatisation stock can be seen passing through without stopping during normal operation.

Dorridge?

Do LM run any services non-stop through Dorridge? If not then strictly speaking that's a penalty, as the clue differentiated between passing through and calling.

 

[gnolife]

Deighton?

In which case, Wilmslow is also a penalty - there are no ATWs which do not call there.

-1 for me.

On a similar basis I will try Greenfield.

Clue 5: This station is notoriously despised by the players of another game on the Quiz Forum.

 

[gnolife]

-1 for me.

I think Greenfield fails as well - Northern don't ever skip it. Deighton works becase the Selby to Wakefield via Bradford and Huddersfield service only calls at Deighton once (and passes through once)

Fairfield?

 

[clagmonster]

Gorton?

 

[Robinson]

Fairfield?

Is the correct answer.

 

[gnolife]

1) My pretty standard clue really (Not in the NSE area)

 

[Robinson]

Earlestown.

 

[clagmonster]

Dumbarton Central?

 

[gnolife]

2) This station is north of Manchester Airport.

 

[Robinson]

Dyce.

 

[gnolife]

delayed

 

[clagmonster]

Preston?

 

[gnolife]

3) This station is in a PTE Area

 

[clagmonster]

Heald Green?

 

[Robinson]

Ilkley.

 

[gnolife]

4) This station is managed by Virgin Trains

 

[clagmonster]

Stockport?

 

[gnolife]

Stockport?

Is the correct answer. I was expecting to have to give clue 5 before anyone even considered Stockport as an answer (which would have been "A suffix which isn't often used for this station, but is still possible to find directions pointing to, also appears in the name of a local football stadium" (Edgeley))

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 1:
This station is south of Carlisle.

 

[Robinson]

How many times in a row has that been your first clue now?

Armathwaite.

 

[clagmonster]

If you are after me varying Clue 1, then be careful what you wish for!
Clue 2:
This station is served by precisely 1 TOC.

 

[Robinson]

Warblington.
