The Spotting Game

[150222]

In this game the person who holds the floor will name a class of rolling stock and people must guess the station where you would see the most of them.
E.G for a class 143 it would be Cardiff.
Rules:
*Only stock currently in service is allowed.
*It must be based on today's allocations. E.G pre-december 2008 a (FGW for this example) 143 would be Bristol. However today it would be Exeter.
*It is class wide. E.G in the 143 example it would be Exeter for fgw however for the whole class it would be Cardiff.

Have fun and don't hesitate to PM me if anyone is confused.

We will start with class 455. Good luck.

Clapham Junction perhaps?

 

[150222]

Clapham Junction perhaps?

I would have said that too. I think you are correct. Your floor.

 

[Temple Meads]

Lets try Class 166..

 

[150222]

Lets try Class 166..

I would say Reading?

 

[Temple Meads]

Which is indeed correct

 

[150222]

How about a 158?

 

[Temple Meads]

Bit harder this one...

Glasgow Central?

 

[scotsman]

I'd say Edinburgh Waverley

 

[Ivo]

Hmm... I think I'd be inclined to say Glasgow Queen Street.

Unfortunately this game wont last that long because there are only so many different classes out there. A good idea nonetheless though

 

[150222]

I'd say Edinburgh Waverley

I think your closest so far. I think I have a top scorer in mind. If anyone knows any differant please say so as I don't know much about Scotrail 158's.

 

[gnolife]

I'd guess at Stirling

 

[150222]

I'd guess at Stirling

That's almost certainly correct. I was also thinking of Leeds or Sheffield.

 

[gnolife]

In which case, Class 175.

 

[Ivo]

Chester?

 

[Temple Meads]

Cardiff Central?

 

[gnolife]

Chester and Cardiff arent what I'm after

 

[Robinson]

Cardiff Central again?

Shrewsbury?

 

[150222]

Shrewsbury?

 

[gnolife]

Shrewsbury isnt it either

 

[Robinson]

Crewe?

 

[gnolife]

Not Crewe

 

[Robinson]

Hereford?

I'm just guessing now...

 

[gnolife]

Its Not Hereford

 

[150222]

Llandudno Junction?

 

[gnolife]

Its not Llandudno Junction

 

[Robinson]

Llandudno Junction?

If it's Llandudno Junction, then don't they all go through Chester as well?

Hmmm... what exactly is left?

Manchester Piccadilly? Surely it can't be...

Finally
Manchester Piccadilly gets 2 175s an hour, Shrewsbury, Chester, Llandudno Junction, Hereford and Cardiff get 3 per 2 hour, Crewe gets 1 per hour

 

[Robinson]

Surprising.

OK... now I've got to think of one I know the answer to...

 

[Ivo]

Hold on a minute; Hereford etc get 175s in both directions, whereas they sit at Piccadilly and surely only count once each?

Anyhow, carry on...
