Dorking is correct.

Taking the floor

1) This station is South of Forth Bridge, but North of Tower Bridge.

 

[Trainfan344]

Twerp! (Please let it be twerp)

 

[Robinson]

Moorgate?

 

[gnolife]

I'm afraid not. This station is AC electrified.

 

[TheEdge]

Diss (is too short an answer so I shall have to bulk it out with this pointless message, success!)

 

[gnolife]

Diss is not the right answer.

3) This station is served by Alstom units.

 

[Trainfan344]

London Euston

 

[gnolife]

This station is very close to some tunnels.

 

[TheEdge]

[gnolife]

5) All TOCs serving this station provide diesel services. Some also provide electric services.

 

[Robinson]

Edinburgh Waverley?

 

[Trainfan344]

Glasgow Central

 

[gnolife]

Robinson has it. I was actually posting the clues while on a TPX divert from EDB to MIA via NCL.

 

[Robinson]

Glasgow Central

That's a point off; East Coast for one don't have any booked diesel services to Glasgow.

Open floor.

[clagmonster]

Clue 3:
This station is electrified by different means to that seen at Crystal Palace.

 

[Robinson]

[clagmonster]

Clue 4:
This station has a high proportion of services operated by electric trains than Brighton.

[Ivo]

No idea where does this so it's random guess time. Colchester. (Remember: If wrong, you must allow at least one other response.)

If correct, however unlikely, I would like to take the floor. However, if I have not taken it by 2200, it will be declared open.

5) At this station, a regular vistor to this thread declared that the system had cheated them out of a win.

The answer I wanted was London St Pancras.

Thanks a lot

A repeat next month will see me being less-than-pleased. And I won't be the only one on this thread either.

 

[Trainfan344]

That's a point off; East Coast for one don't have any booked diesel services to Glasgow.

Open floor.

I didn't realise East Coast still served Glasgow.

 

[gnolife]

Why? Who've you recruited?

 

[Ivo]

Why? Who've you recruited?

I haven't technically recruited anyone! My teammate "offered" to join me as part of my "advert".

Mind you, I seem to recall saying you were a lucky charm and/or leprechaun after Liverpool and would be happy to have you along again

Don't feel like you have to. Just saying as much.

 

[gnolife]

I'm not sure if I'm going to be free to make it, and if I am free, there's a very good chance of me being booted off the train at MK (I'm planning on using an... interesting route on a ticket, assuming that the loophole hasn't been killed off by that time)

 

[clagmonster]

No idea where does this so it's random guess time. Colchester. (Remember: If wrong, you must allow at least one other response.)

Not Colchester, so I need another response before the reveal.
