The "Name the Station" game

[Buttsy]

Reedham (Surrey)?

 

[gnolife]

London Road Guildford?

 

[martinsh]

Clue 5 : though some trains run non stop through this station, the fastest trains on this route normally go on a separate line round the back of the station (within sight of the platforms)

 

[gnolife]

Earlswood (the one on served by Southern, not the one in West Midlandshire)

 

[martinsh]

Earlswood is correct

 

[gnolife]

1) This station is North of the River Thames

 

[CallySleeper]

Euston

 

[clagmonster]

Seaton Carew?

 

[gnolife]

2) This station is not electrified, and truth be told, I'd eat my hat if it got announced for electrification anytime soon.

 

[CallySleeper]

Aviemore

 

[gnolife]

3) This station has direct service to exactly one capital city on Great Britain. You must change at least once to reach one of the capital cities not served direct. You must change at least twice to reach the second one.

 

[CallySleeper]

Cardenden?

 

[gnolife]

4) This station is served only by the Wales and Borders franchise

 

[CallySleeper]

Llandudno

 

[Buttsy]

Fishguard & Goodwick

 

[gnolife]

This 2 platform station has less than a dozen services per day, considering both possible directions of travel

 

[CallySleeper]

Pass.

 

[Buttsy]

Wem??

 

[martinsh]

As far as I can see, ANY passing loop on the Heart of Wales line meets these criteria. [ therefore not a good set of clues ]

I'm guessing Knighton

Half a dozen possible stations is considered bad?

Anyway, it was Llandrindod that I was after

 

[CallySleeper]

1. This station is north of the Thames and is not served by the Wales and Borders franchise!

 

[gnolife]

1) This station is South of the Clyde.

Well I always try and make sure there is only one possible answer.

--------------------

Not sure which of the two alternatives we are going with, but I'll guess somewhere that fits both - York

Rules do say that you don't have to narrow it down to one particular station, though most players do.

 

[clagmonster]

Peterborough?

 

[Robinson]

I'm going to argue, unless anyone disagrees, that since gnolife did not declare open floor and set his new clue 1 within the time limit, that we should take gnolife's round to be the one currently active (unless he subsequently breaches the time limit before the round finishes).

My guess is Heald Green.

 

[gnolife]

2 This station is AC Electrified

 

[clagmonster]

Hertford East?

 

[gnolife]

3) This station is booked to be served by exactly one class of train..

 

[clagmonster]

Drayton Park?
