[Esker-pades]

Eltham?

Fails clue 3 to my knowledge.

 

[ls2270]

It does! I realised about an hour after I typed that!

 

[Esker-pades]

It does! I realised about an hour after I typed that!

I've reached the max 5 clues allowed. You're more than welcome to have another go.

 

[ls2270]

I’ll guess Slade Green?

 

[Esker-pades]

I’ll guess Slade Green?

Afraid it fails clue 4.

 

[ls2270]

Was a wild guess...I knew it was formerly Slades Green but didn’t know if it had changed names before that!
I will have a guess at Chatham.

 

[Esker-pades]

Was a wild guess...I knew it was formerly Slades Green but didn’t know if it had changed names before that!
I will have a guess at Chatham.

Again, that one hasn't been remaned at all as far as I can tell.


I'll reveal the answer tomorrow.

Folkestone Central?

 

[Esker-pades]

Yeah, it's Whitstable.

OPEN FLOOR

 

[godfreycomplex]

I might give this a whirl
Clue 1 - this station is not directly served by trains calling at Whitstable

 

[ls2270]

Manchester Piccadilly?

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Ellesmere Port ?

 

[A Challenge]

Wick?

 

[Esker-pades]

Dawlish Warren?

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

@godfreycomplex could you let us know if any of us are correct and set the next clue if not? Thanks

 

[godfreycomplex]

None of them, sorry
Clue 2 - much like Whitstable, some (not all) services are provided by dual power multiple units

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Cardiff Central

 

[ls2270]

Peterborough?

 

[A Challenge]

St Neots?

 

[Esker-pades]

South Kenton?

 

[godfreycomplex]

Clue 3 - all services from this station terminate at one of three stations, and start from another of the same three stations

 

[ls2270]

Strawberry Hill?

 

[godfreycomplex]

Strawberry Hill?

Sadly not
That wasn’t a very good clue in hindsight, sorry. To clarify that clue, think more towards a fork type arrangement than a “rounder” type arrangement.
Clue 4 - the next station in the up direction has 4 platforms

 

[444045]

Hounslow ?

 

[godfreycomplex]

Hounslow ?

Sadly not, fails clue 4
Clue 5
This station’s name consists of two words, both of which begin with the same letter
