Please may I point out rule 4.3:
" All competing players may provide one response after each clue set by
the Turn Player. In the event that any one player provides more than one
guess, he incurs a Penalty and only the first guess will be considered,
even if the later guess is correct"

Also rule 6.2:
"6.2 The following Penalties may be applied to competing players:
...
Penalty E: Providing more than one response in relation to any one
clue [three points deducted]"

As a matter of interest, why did you change your mind. Darlo seems a reasonable answer.

I suspect I may well have lost a point. With hindsight, I would be very surprised if my Leyland actually is north of Bamber Bridge.

Didn't the idea of tallying points in this quiz evaporate long ago? Are many of today's participants aware these exist?

However it doesn't alter the point about first post must stick until next clue is given.

After research, I discovered Darlington actually has five platforms.

After research, I discovered Darlington actually has five platforms.

It didn't last Thursday, or any other day I have been there for some 20 years unless you count 4a and 4 as separate platforms.

There used to be two north facing bays, 5 and 6, but they went a long time ago

3. No fewer than 5 TOCs call at this station.

 

[Springs Branch]

Haymarket

 

[Marton]

Motherwell

 

[AndrewR232]

Motherwell

... is the answer I was looking for.

Your floor.

(btw Haymarket has 5 platforms including bay platform 0.)

Do any services terminate at Haymarket? Are those the North Berwick ones?

 

[clagmonster]

The bay is north facing, so wouldn't be of any use to a North Berwick service. According to http://unusualtrack.co.uk/UT_Sc11.htm nothing is booked to use the bay.

The idea of points hasn't quite evaporated, it will be updated eventually.

[clagmonster]

Eaglescliffe? I hope there isn't an oddball TPE booked to stop.

 

[Marton]

Correct. Well done.

AFAIK there isn't! There are a couple that go via Darlington and reverse, from memory it's an early one northbound and a late one southbound.

Your floor.
