Clue 5: There is a station on Queensland Rail's Citytrain network with the same name as this one - which would also fit clues 1, 3 and 4 from this round.

Ascot is DC electrified, and Runcorn has direct trains to Liverpool Airport.
Newark Northgate also sort of counts, as there is a Northgate station on the CityTrain network.

Ipswich was the correct answer.

If I may point out, trains to Liverpool South Parkway do not count as a direct link to the airport, as the passenger then needs to get a connecting bus service. Despite that, Ascot, Runcorn and Northgate Citytrain stations have no terminating services so any of those other answers would have been duds.

Oh ok :D

Is it my turn then?

Clue 1: Station is only served by 1 operator

If you win a round (either by guessing the station correctly or by setting a station which no one guesses correctly after 5 clues) you either start a new round or declare open floor (post #908 has a complete copy of the rules attached).

North Berwick. (That's my guess for clue 1.)

Clue 4: The station begins with the same letter as the Glasgow Subway stop for Queen Street railway station.

Clue 5: The station only is only served on days that begin with the same letter as the second word in the name of the Glasgow Subway stop for Queen Street railway station. :P
