Tring is NOT served by DC electrified trains !!

Yes that is what really confused me as well. I am presuming A Challenge meant trains that can also run on DC such as the dual voltage 377/2 377/5 377/7 trains. But i originally thought clue 1 meant that some or all of the tracks at this station were DC electrified.

As it is an open floor i will take the next round.

Clue 1: This station has a level crossing at one end of the two platforms at this station.

Clue 2: The automated announcements at this station are made by Phil Sayer and Celia Drummond with Phil Sayer doing one of the platforms and Celia Drummond doing the other one.

Clue 3: On Mondays to Fridays the trains that call at this station are a mixture of both DOO trains and Guard operated trains. On Saturdays 100% of the trains that call here are all DOO. On Sundays 100% of the trains the call here are all Guard operated.

I was indeed dual voltage, they are DC, even though they are running on AC at the time. Anyway, I did say it was on the WCML as Clue 5!

Clue 5: This station shares its name with another National Rail station in the UK but the station that it shares its name with has two additional words added on the end (so this station is called A station and the station it shares its name with is called A B C station).
