Eccles?

 

[ls2270]

Earlestown?

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Eccles?

Only has 2 platforms and nothing famous about it as far as I am aware.

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Earlestown?

Yes sir indeed it is!

The famous things I referred to being it having the oldest station building in the world and one of only two stations left in the UK built as a "triangle"

 

[ls2270]

It took me ages wracking my brain for a Northern station with 5 platforms that TPE don’t stop at!

 

[ls2270]

Okay next one…
Clue 1: this station has one platform

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Ebbw Vale Town ?

 

[ls2270]

Clue 2: this station is in England

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Windsor and Eton Central??

 

[Grumpus63]

Only has 2 platforms and nothing famous about it as far as I am aware.

Sorry, didn't notice the number of platforms bit; the town itself is famous for "cakes" and the station was famous (at the time) as the scene of a bad collision in December 1941. I'm making excuses and clutching at straws I know....

 

[Grumpus63]

Furze Platt Halt?

 

[ls2270]

Clue 3: the line at this station is third rail electrified

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Warrington Central ?

 

[444045]

Clue 2 : This station only has 1 TOC.

 

[ls2270]

New Milton?

 

[444045]

Well done...New Milton is the correct answer. Over to you.

 

[ls2270]

Gosh that was a totally random guess! Okay here goes…
Clue 1: only one TOC calls at this station, but a further two pass through without stopping

 

[444045]

Hamble ?

 

[ls2270]

[A Challenge]

Tackley?

 

[ls2270]

Clue 3: the rolling stock currently calling at this station is scheduled for replacement on this line in the near future

 

[A Challenge]

Assuming the Turbos are being replaced by the 769s here (at some point), I'll go one station from my last guess to

Heyford?

 

[ls2270]

Clue 4: All trains calling at this station terminate at the next station when in the southbound direction.

 

[ls2270]

Well since we haven’t had any further guesses for several days now I will give a further hint to try to help…the correct answer station is operated by the same TOC as Tackley and Heyford.
