The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

Bramley(Hants)?
If I had realised that clue 3 disregarded freight, I would have gone for that first - I thought any Ludgershall freight traffic would come from Didcot and hence arrive at Andover from the Basingstoke direction.

 

[Robinson]

In which case I can only apologise for the ambiguity I left there.

Not that it was the correct answer though. The answer I sought was Whitchurch (Hants).

Open floor.

Yes, After I posted, I thought hang on wasn't there a rule, My mistake.

Clue 3: This station is served by the same amount of TOC's as the number of platforms it has.

 

[Robinson]

Worcester Foregate Street?

 

[Trainfan344]

Clue 4: This station and the branch line it is on is to be electricfied as well as another branch line which splits off at a station on the line.

 

[clagmonster]

Assuming I have understood clue 4 correctly, Furze Platt (Bourne End branch, with the Marlow branch branching off at Bourne End also to be electrified).

 

[Trainfan344]

Correct.

Lowestoft

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 2:
This station is served by precisely 1 TOC. Other TOCs may or may not pass through.

 

[Trainfan344]

Edinburgh Park

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 3:
This station currently has no electrified lines, and perhaps contreversially, is not planned to have any.

 

[Buttsy]

Cromer

 

[Trainfan344]

Felixstowe

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 4:
This station is the nearest railway station to a Football League ground at which Jamie Forrestor has scored a goal in a competitive fixture.

 

[Buttsy]

Boston?

 

[clagmonster]

I shall assume that Jamie Forrestor has scored at York Street.

Clue 5:
This station is currently the nearest to a junction to a freight only branch. It is planned that this branch will be reopened to passenger services.

 

[Robinson]

Fenny Stratford? (No idea whether Jamie Forrester scored at stadium:mk)...

 

[Buttsy]

Fenny Stratford? (No idea whether Jamie Forrester scored at stadium:mk)...

I thought Bletchley was closer to Franchise FC's ground, but I could be wrong.

 

[clagmonster]

I believe that as the crow flies Fenny Stratford is closer to the stolen club's ground. I am unsure as to whether to allow the Bletchley to Oxford Cross Country line as a freight only branch.

Is Fenny Stratford correct then?

I thought the Marston Vale line was going to get wires as part of East-West...

Ususal proviso, happy to be wrong...

 

[Robinson]

Is Fenny Stratford correct then?

Very much doubt it now...

 

[clagmonster]

Fenny Stratford is not correct. Assuming Bletchley-Oxford is not a branch, I am still awaiting a valid response to clue 5.

 

[Buttsy]

Parson Street?
