Clue 4: This station has, at some point in the post-privatisation era, handled train services which crossed an international border - but it does not currently do so.

No takers? I think it's time to move this one on anyway, then...

Clue 5: One of the TOCs which serves this station runs mainly terminating services, except for the first and last trains of the day on weekdays. The other TOCs run mainly through services.

Leicester?

 

[Robinson]

Leicester?

That doesn't fit clue 5 at least...

 

[Searle]

I have no idea about Clue 4, but I think Grimbsy Town fits the rest? (with EM terminating on Clue 5)

Open floor if correct

 

[Robinson]

Grimsby Town is correct. I believe there used to be a Cardiff service in Central Trains days (hence clue 4).

 

[gnolife]

Taking the open floor.


1) This station is north of the route taken by a journey from Lowestoft to West Kirby, completed by changing trains at Norwich and Liverpool Lime Street.

 

[Robinson]

New Brighton?

 

[southern442]

Grimsby Town is correct. I believe there used to be a Cardiff service in Central Trains days (hence clue 4).

Not really an international border...

 

[Trainfan344]

Oh so Wales, isn't a country of it's own now, an International border is a border between two country's, there are train services from england over 3 international borders, English/Welsh border, English/Scottish Border and the English/french border.

 

[gnolife]

2) This station is electrified

 

[Altnabreac]

Chathill?

 

[gnolife]

3) This station is served only by EMUs in normal operations.

 

[Robinson]

Waterloo (Merseyside)?

 

[gnolife]

4) This station is in a PTE area.

 

[Robinson]

Queens Park (Glasgow)?

(why not see if you'll put one on my doorstep )

Might be a country but it isn't a nation! The UK has one land international border, the one between NI and the Republic of Ireland.

As for this question, the clues so far could be anywhere!! But I'll guess Partick.

 

[Trainfan344]

Bathgate?

 

[gnolife]

5) This station has platforms on two levels.

 

[MK Tom]

Moorfields?

 

[Trainfan344]

Glasgow Queen Street?

 

[gnolife]

Moorfields?

Moorfields is correct.
