The "Name the Station" game

[DasLunatic]

Shoreditch High Street.

 

[backontrack]

Incorrect, but it is an Overground station.

 

[Springs Branch]

Caledonian Road & Barnsbury ?

 

[backontrack]

Correct! The station I was referring to was Maiden Lane.

Your floor.

 

[Springs Branch]

Clue 1: This station is within 60 miles (by rail) of Sheffield.

 

[DasLunatic]

New Mills Newtown

 

[clagmonster]

Dore & Totley?

 

[Springs Branch]

Clue 2: It's not on an electrified line.

 

[clagmonster]

Grindleford?

 

[Marton]

Penistone

 

[PermitToTravel]

Ardwick

 

[Springs Branch]

3: Two TOCs provide the passenger services. One of these predominates, the other provides only a limited service.

 

[Marton]

Bamford.

 

[Springs Branch]

4: The station was closed in the Beeching era, but has subsequently re-opened.

 

[Marton]

Langley Mill

 

[Springs Branch]

When devising this riddle, I had planned to have:-
"Clue 5: Two other National Rail stations include this station's name, but neither of these is close by - both are in different counties."
With the answer being Lostock.

In fact Langley Mill also meets the criteria of all five clues (and there are four "Langleys" on NR).

So I'll declare Langley Mill a correct answer and Marton has the Floor.
