[A Challenge]

1. This station has services to exactly one station that also has a direct service from West Byfleet
2. This station has two platforms
3. This station is DfT Category E

It appears only @FelixtheCat has understood clue 1 how I meant it

 

[Esker-pades]

Congleton?

 

[Modron]

With due respect, I cannot read minds

Morpeth perhaps?

 

[Esker-pades]

Neither can I. I have documents telling me how badly I read minds.

 

[Modron]

We might need more hintwise...

North or South, please? @A Challenge

[Esker-pades]

Malvern Link?

 

[A Challenge]

Indeed - I thought I was maybe making it too difficult!

 

[Modron]

Bath Spa?

(Bath Spa has a link with London Waterloo, and I am certain that West Byfleet does as well...)

EDIT: Well done once again @FelixtheCat, but I'd also like an explanation to the clues @A Challenge as that one was very tricky!

 

[A Challenge]

The station in question for being the only one that has a service from both Malvern Link and West Byfleet is Havant.

The station in question for being the only one that has a service from both Malvern Link and West Byfleet is Havant.

Ah - that was well played!

 

[Esker-pades]

That first clue was a good brain-teaser.

I've got to pop off to uni now, so OPEN FLOOR.

 

[Modron]

Happy studying @FelixtheCat

Ponders a fiendish one...

1) This station is in Scotland

 

[A Challenge]

Lockerbie?

 

[Modron]

Not Lockerbie, but a good guess!

2) Like Lockerbie, the station has two platforms but a far lower annual rail passenger usage.

 

[A Challenge]

Breich?

 

[Modron]

Not Breich either.

3) This station used to have RETB signalling.

 

[A Challenge]

Helensburgh Upper?

 

[Modron]

Getting closer, it is a West Highland Line station.

4) The station in question has three sidings.

 

[A Challenge]

Fort William?

 

[Modron]

It's not a terminus, and you went a bit too far north

Last clue and I'm sure you'll get it

5) The crossing loop at this station was altered in 1987 to allow for 'right hand running'. Thus, the old Up Platform is now the Down Platform and vice versa. The change was made in order to simplify shunting by removing the need to hand-pump the points to access the sidings mentioned above.

 

[A Challenge]

Crainlarich?

 

[Modron]

You are VERY near now.

I wouldn't ARDLY say that you won't get it

 

[A Challenge]

Upper Tyndrum?

 

[Modron]

Situated between Arrochar & Tarbert and Crianlarich
