The "Name the Station" game

[Robinson]

Clue 4: This station is the terminus for some trains operated by 2 TOC's who also run through services and is also served by a third TOC who also run through services

Is this clue too complicated for everyone?

Right, so FGW and Chiltern presumably are the operators terminating here. Only one of these (FGW) also runs through services, contrary to the meaning of the clue. Therefore I am going to appeal for a dud clue penalty.

ADJUDICATION REQUIRED.

Meantime, my guess for clue 4 on the current round is Bottesford.

I quite agree.

Guess for this round : Trafford Park (though I'm not sure how far the wires go down that line)

This was confusing as Chiltern don't run through services...

My mistake, I thought there was a through service.
