Swansea

 

[gnolife]

Quick question - if I had put Leyton Midland Road (or any other non-electrified Gtr London station), would that count as the same settlement as the London football teams (like Arsenal, Fulham etc)

 

[clagmonster]

For the purpose of Swansea, please can you define 'country'.

I'm going for Aberdeen.

 

[Robinson]

Swansea City F.C. do not play in the Welsh football league structure, so that would be an invalid answer.

Clue 4: Only classes 15x are booked to serve this station.

 

[martinsh]

Dingwall

 

[Robinson]

Dingwall

We have a winner!

(Clue 5 would have been "Between this station and the next is the site of a closed station which may be reopened under a different name in the future".)

 

[martinsh]

This station is not on an electrified line

 

[Buttsy]

Radley

 

[clagmonster]

Culham?

 

[martinsh]

Clue 2 : this station has two platforms, but previously had more

Clue 2a : this station is not near Oxford !

PS am offline now until late this evening

 

[clagmonster]

March?

 

[Frothy]

Middlesbrough?

 

[Welshman]

Halifax?

 

[martinsh]

Clue 3 : this staion is served by two TOCs - which use completely different types of train.

PS sorry about the delay - left my mobile phone in the pub !

 

[Welshman]

You were lucky to get it back!

Rhyl?

 

[Robinson]

Dewsbury?

Not sure if it fits the "used to have more" part of clue 2 though...

 

[martinsh]

Clue 4 : this station is situated between two tunnels (both with 100 yards of platform end)

 

[Buttsy]

St Leonards Warrior Square?

 

[Robinson]

St Leonards Warrior Square?

That fails clues 1 and 3 at least (375s and 377s are hardly "completely different" in my book)...

Stalybridge? Assuming the new bay platform has not been started yet...

 

[martinsh]

only one tunnel at Stalybridge surely ?

Clue 5 : this station has a county suffix

Clue 5a : someone has been pretty close already to the right answer

 

[Robinson]

No idea about the tunnels

Bangor (Gwynedd)?

 

[martinsh]

Bangor is correct

 

[Robinson]

Clue 1: This station has a prime number of platforms.

 

[CallySleeper]

Coatbridge Sunnyside?

 

[clagmonster]

Helensburgh Central?

I would argue that Branson's voyagers and the contraptions used by ATW seen at Bangor are not 'completely different types of train' - I see both as modern plastic DMUs.
