The "Name the Station" game

[dzug2]

Stafford ?

Good guess - correct

Was hoping to confuse you with TOCs (ATW call once a day) and XCs through service to Cardiff

 

[martinsh]

There aren't that many stations with 5 platforms, so fairly easy to guess

Clue 1 : this station is south of Stafford

 

[dzug2]

Cam and Dursley

 

[FQ]

St Ives

 

[martinsh]

Clue 2 : this station has 2 platforms

 

[Buttsy]

Penkridge

 

[FQ]

Long Buckby?

 

[Marton]

Welwyn North

 

[Springs Branch]

Carshalton?

 

[dzug2]

Kingham

 

[martinsh]

Clue 3 : more than one TOC has trains which stop at this station frequently. At least one other TOC has trains which run through this station non stop.

 

[Marton]

Northallerton

 

[Springs Branch]

Waterbeach

 

[dzug2]

Manea

 

[martinsh]

Northallerton

Not south of Stafford !!!

Clue 4 : most trains which stop here are electric, most trains which run through non-stop are diesel.

 

[Springs Branch]

Swanwick

 

[martinsh]

Well no-one has come anywhere near yet, because

Clue 5 : this station has through trains to Coseley

 

[Springs Branch]

Sandwell & Dudley

 

[dzug2]

Not fully confident, but I'll try Sandwell and Dudley

I see I'm too late, if correct

 

[Yuanls]

I would say sandwell and dudley as well and I am certain. But I don't think any train service skips s and d and stops at cosely.

 

[martinsh]

Sandwell & Dudley

We have a winner !

But I don't think any train service skips s and d and stops at cosely.

The LM Birmingham - Liverpool runs non-stop New St - Coseley once an hour. Doesn't affect the answer to the question though.

 

[Springs Branch]

Next conundrum....

Clue 1 : This station is located west of the Pennines.

 

[dzug2]

Windermere

 

[Springs Branch]

Clue 2: Trains depart regularly to major cities north, south, east and west of this station - usually one or more trains each hour.

 

[dzug2]

Preston

 

[Buttsy]

Manchester Piccadilly

 

[Springs Branch]

Clue 3: There is more than one railway station in this town / city.
(But the station isn't Manchester Piccadilly)

Wigan North Western?

 

[Springs Branch]

Wigan North Western?

Wigan Northwestern is correct. Over to you.
