Eliminating one station at a time is not in mark with the rules. A maximum of 5 clues can be given, with only about 3 remaining after all 5. They have to get progressively easier. The example given in the rules is an example of what should happen.

The idea is that the person whose turn it is has to think of a station that can be identified from a set of ambigious clues. The clues must get progressively easier as each turn progresses, until five clues have been given.

For London Waterloo for instance:

(1) I am in the former Network South East area (not very helpful at all)
(2) I am served exclusively by South West Trains (better but still pretty hopeless)
(3) Class 455s can be seen in service here (reasonable)
(4) I am also served by plentiful longer-distance stock (one of a few now)
(5) I am managed by Network Rail (can only be Waterloo)

I'm aware of that. Technically, these questions ARE getting progressively easier, because I'm eliminating an additional candidate each time. Nobody else seems to mind. Besides, the plan always was for the last two questions to be different.

1) This station is east of Arisaig
2) This station is west of Lowestoft
3) This station is south of Thurso
4) This station is a request stop
