The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

Thorpe Bay?

 

[Robinson]

Barnstaple?

 

[martinsh]

1) This station is south of the route followed by a journey from North Berwick to Pembroke Dock, completed by changing at Edinburgh Waverley and Manchester Piccadilly only (travelling on a 350 into Manchester)

That route is basically north - south. Do you mean East or West of it ??

 

[gnolife]

That route is basically north - south. Do you mean East or West of it ??

South.


4) This station is unelectrified.

 

[Robinson]

Rhoose Cardiff International Airport?

 

[martinsh]

South.


4) This station is unelectrified.

I'm assuming you mean East !!!

Hednesford

 

[gnolife]

5) South West Trains and First Great Western are the only TOCs to call at this station. SWT services run on all routes available. First Great Western only serve two

And to clarify for this clue, if the answer was Manchester Piccadilly, there 4 routes: Ardwick, Levenshulme, Mauldeth Road and Oxford Road.

 

[clagmonster]

Salisbury?

 

[gnolife]

Salisbury?

Salisbury is correct

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 1:
This station's name begins with a letter which is not found in the word 'Salisbury'.

 

[Robinson]

Derby Road?

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 2:
This station is served entirely by Sprinter units and variants thereof.

 

[Robinson]

Trimley?

 

[gnolife]

Burnley Manchester Road

 

[Trainfan344]

Felixstowe, but that might see the odd 170.

 

[gnolife]

Burnley Manchester Road

I realise that this is an incredibly stupid answer with the clue 1.

 

[Robinson]

Felixstowe, but that might see the odd 170.

If it does, then both my answers so far will be penalised.

Which would mean no valid answers so far, even after 2 clues hock:

 

[martinsh]

Dove Holes

 

[Buttsy]

Duncraig

 

[clagmonster]

I have no idea whether 170s are booked to reach Felixstowe. At least the vast majority of workings on the branch are booked sprinter, though I dare say even if not booked the odd one will end up there.

Clue 3:
This station opened at some point after 1990.

 

[Buttsy]

Barrow-upon-Soar

 

[clagmonster]

Clue 4:
Prior to the award of the current franchise which operates the service at this station, 170s made fairly regular appearances in service.

 

[gnolife]

Felix is a 153 diagram.

Chanders Ford

 

[clagmonster]

I presume the SWT franchise has been renewed since the 170s went north.

Clue 5:
In one direction, three consecutive stations have a tram interchange.

Newstead?

Correct.

 

[Robinson]

Clue 1: This station is south of Carlisle.

[gnolife]

Dingle Road

 

[Robinson]

Clue 2: This station is on one of the main lines which radiate from the principal London Terminals (WCML from Euston, MML from St Pancras, ECML from King's Cross, GEML from Liverpool St etc). It may or may not actually be served by London-bound trains.
