The "Name the Station" game

[MK Tom]

Woo! I literally couldn't find any other station that fit the two levels and entirely electric thing north of your line. Then I realised to do West Kirkby you'd only do the southern half of the Liverpool loop.

OK I'll try one...

1. This station does not have platforms on all of the running lines.

Tamworth

 

[Robinson]

Glasgow Queen Street?

All services from platforms 1-7 are DMUs.

1. This station does not have platforms on all of the running lines.

Carlisle?

 

[MK Tom]

Nope neither of those.

2. In one direction, all services from this station are going to the same ultimate destination.

Heaton Chapel

 

[Trainfan344]

Rugby?

 

[Robinson]

Farnborough (Main)?

 

[MK Tom]

Nope, none of those. Rugby has some southbound services that end at Northampton, so doesn't fit clue 2.

3. If you go north from this station, the next station is in another ceremonial county, but in order to leave THAT county, you would have to change at a later station.

Sandy? (All services north are for Peterborough, the next station north is St Neots in Cambridgeshire - Sandy is in Bedfordshire)

 

[MK Tom]

You got it! And yeah, to leave Ceremonial Cambs you would have to change at Peterborough. Over to you!

1) This station is south of the route taken for a typical Monday - Friday journey from West Kirby to Cleethorpes, completed by changing at Liverpool Lime Street and Sheffield.

 

[Robinson]

Liverpool Central

 

[Trainfan344]

Manchester Piccadilly.

 

[gnolife]

Manchester Piccadilly.

Manchester Piccadilly falls directly on the route specified, so can be neither north, nor south of it.

2) This station is electrified using exactly one system of electrification.

 

[Robinson]

Runcorn?

 

[gnolife]

3) This station is served by units built by Siemens.

 

[Altnabreac]

Long Buckby

 

[Robinson]

Acton Bridge?

 

[MK Tom]

I take it though it's not ONLY served by Siemens units?

I'll try Manchester Airport.

 

[gnolife]

4) This station is managed by Greater Anglia, who provide all the passenger services through this station.

 

[Altnabreac]

Frinton-on-sea

 

[gnolife]

5) This station is the more used but lesser posted (in this thread) station in it's settlement.

 

[Altnabreac]

Colchester with 4,500,000 entries exits while Colchester Town has only 450,000?

 

[gnolife]

I'll accept the answer as valid, even if it isn't the correct one

The correct one was Ipswich

Open Floor

 

[Altnabreac]

OK I'll have a go as I was close

1) This station is in Scotland

 

[Robinson]

Lockerbie?

 

[Altnabreac]

2) There is a Visit Scotland 5 star graded Tourist Attraction close to this station.
