The "Name the Station" game

[Robinson]

The answer I wanted was Balcombe.

Open floor.

Well, since no one's taken the floor in the time it's been open, I shall keep it

Clue 1: This station is north of the Thames.

 

[Trainfan344]

Derby Road

 

[ValleyLines142]

Could be anything ranging from Euston to Wick! :P

 

[Buttsy]

Goring & Streatley

 

[gnolife]

Twerp

Could be anything ranging from Euston to Wick! :P

That's the general idea in this game. Clue 1 is supposed to be fairly open-ended, the clues gradually narrowing it down to only a limited number of options by the end

Clue 2: This station is AC electrified.

 

[clagmonster]

Helensburgh Central?

 

[gnolife]

Manchester Airport

 

[Robinson]

Clue 3: This station has the same number of platforms as TOCs which only pass through without stopping here. This number is greater than the number of TOCs calling at this station.

 

[clagmonster]

Sandbach?

 

[CallySleeper]

Huntingdon

 

[gnolife]

Ardwick?

 

[clagmonster]

Ardwick?

2 platforms. TPE only pass through without stopping, but who else? Some Northern services stop. Is there an EMT service booked via Romiley these days?

 

[gnolife]

The clue says nothing about stopping and passing being mutually exclusive.

This first sentence of the clue:

Clue 3: This station has the same number of platforms as TOCs which only pass through without stopping here.

There needs to be two TOCs which only pass through without stopping as there are two platforms. That is my reading of it anyway.

 

[Robinson]

Clue 4: This station is unstaffed.

Unfortunately, I have to say that clagmonster has interpreted it correctly. Sorry...

 

[clagmonster]

Pegswood?

 

[gnolife]

Davenport.

Will you be applying the penalty for Ardwick then?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: This station is the local station of one of our erstwhile Quizzes & Games forum regulars - and don't we know about it!

 

[clagmonster]

Oldfield Park?

 

[gnolife]

Heald Green?

 

[Buttsy]

Prestbury?

 

[gnolife]

Oldfield Park?

I'd be shocked if I found wires at Oldfield Park (pun intended)

 

[clagmonster]

Heald Green?

There are 2 platforms and at least 2 TOC stop (TPE and Northern), so it fails clue 4.

 

[Robinson]

Prestbury?

Is the correct answer.

 

[Buttsy]

1: This station is in England

 

[Robinson]

London Charing Cross.

 

[gnolife]

Twerp

 

[Buttsy]

2: This station has the same number of platforms as TOCs serving it.

 

[Robinson]

Wokingham.
