The "Name the Station" game

[Robinson]

Do the Tube platforms not count as electrified then?

I wasn't aware the Chiltern services shared track with the Central line...

And Birmingham Snow Hill goes down as a dubious answer for me as I always exclude non-NR platforms from consideration unless the clue refers to them specifically.

Does that include freight?

Yes.

Clacton on sea?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: As I write, this station is receiving regular terminating services throughout the day, which it does not normally. It is also being served by one more class of train compared to its usual diet.

 

[clagmonster]

This is going to be sportexes I feel. Lets go for Yoker.

 

[Robinson]

Right idea, flawed execution. Yoker has not been served by the 380-worked extras, unfortunately.

The answer was Garscadden.

Clue 4: To get to 2 of the 3 national capital cities on the island of Britain from this station, you can change at the next station all trains departing in one direction call at (although for one or both of them you can change later). To get to the 3rd you need to travel in the same direction and change later, and not all trains calling here will get you to said later station where you need to change.

 

[Darren R]

Stalybridge?

 

[Robinson]

Stalybridge?

Dubious answer; you can change for all 3 of said capital cities at Manchester Piccadilly.

 

[TrainNut11]

Gretna Green?

 

[Robinson]

Clue 5: This station is close to the headquarters for a spot-hire/charter train company.

 

[FQ]

Lancaster? The headquarters being West Coast Railways and the 2 capitals direct being London and Edinburgh and it is 1 change at Crewe for Cardiff.

 

[Robinson]

1) The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh, not Glasgow.

2) Lancaster has direct services to both Edinburgh and London and is only 1 change from Cardiff.
