Erm
Portsmouth and southsea?

Alderley Edge

 

[Robinson]

Erm
Portsmouth and southsea?

Also NSE.

 

[DasLunatic]

The NSE area is:
ALL of the C2c, SWT, Great Northern, Thameslink, Southern and Southeastern services
The GEML as far as Ipswich, plus all branchlines off the GEML upto Ipswich
The WCML as far as Northampton, plus all branchlines
The GWML as far as Newbury and Oxford, plus all branchlines
The Chiltern Main Line as far as Banbury, plus all branches

 

[Robinson]

Actually the boundary on Great Northern was Huntingdon; the Great Eastern boundary was Manningtree. In both cases NSE services went beyond the boundary for operational convenience.

Clue 4: There is a depot between this station and the next. Also, there are no other TOCs whose trains pass through this station, further to clue 3.

Does that not get any TPE services any more?

 

[DasLunatic]

If they pass through it still causes it to fail clue 4

Anyway...

Clue 5: The current Monday-Saturday timetable sees this station get half the service frequency it has received for many years in the off-peak. The timetable is in force due to a temporary closure elsewhere.

I imagine if you'd waited you'd probably have had takers. Why not try again?
