The "Name the Station" game

[RJ21]

Moving onwards Clue 1: this station is in Scotland.

 

[A Challenge]

Inverness

 

[trainmania100]

Fort William

 

[martinsh]

Crossmyloof

 

[RJ21]

Clue 2: this station is served by Class 156s only.

 

[fyldetrainfan]

Oban?

 

[A Challenge]

Falls of Cruachan

 

[RJ21]

Clue 3: this station was built as a private station for an estate.

 

[Gathursty]

Achnashellach

 

[RJ21]

Clue 4: This station is within half a mile of the coast.

 

[fyldetrainfan]

Dunrobin Castle?

 

[RJ21]

The Far North stations are largely served by 158s now, do any 156s still go up there? Anyway, Clue 5: this station is one stop from the most westerly station.

 

[fyldetrainfan]

I admit I wasn't sure about the 156 part but it seemed to fit the other clues

I would like to have another guess if I may?

 

[RJ21]

As I put clue 5 up it'll be a guess for that, but there are only two to choose from.

 

[fyldetrainfan]

Beasdale

 

[RJ21]

Yes, that one.

 

[fyldetrainfan]

Ok here's my Clue 1:

This station is north of Crewe

 

[A Challenge]

I though it had to be West Highland as I thought they didn't solely run anything but it! Well, it isn't meant to be!

Sandbach

 

[fyldetrainfan]

No not Sandbach.

Clue 2: This station is served by 6 TOCs

 

[swt class 450]

Stockport?

 

[fyldetrainfan]

Correct! Stockport it is. That went quickly!

 

[trainmania100]

Correct! Stockport it is. That went quickly!

Not many stations have 6 TOCS serving them, which nails it down to only a few.
Looking at my map of the southeast now, it doesnt look like any stations are served by 6 TOCS

 

[swt class 450]

Clue 1: This station is unstaffed.

 

[martinsh]

Cowden

 

[swt class 450]

Clue 2: Every train that calls at or passes through this station either starts from or terminates in Greater London.

Virgin, CrossCountry, Northern, East Midlands Trains ( Liverpool - Norwich), Transpennine Express (Manchester Airport - Cleethorpes) and Arriva Trains Wales (Manchester - South Wales) all call at Stockport. You're right there are very few that are served by that many. i can only think of two.

 

[A Challenge]

I can think of seven SIX-TOC stations:

• Glasgow Central
• Haymarket (if you don't include the Tram)
• Liverpool Lime Street (once the Wirral Line is reopened round the loop)
• Manchester Piccadilly
• Newcastle Central (if you DO include the Tram)
• Stockport
• York

Chilham

 

[swt class 450]

Clue 3: DMUs are the only trains to call at this station. However the trains that pass through without stopping are a mixture of DMUs and locomotive hauled trains.
