(complete) c2c stations quiz

[Sprinter]

Which two stations on the c2c network still have Network South East style station name boards (as opposed to the c2c purple and pink station name boards)?

1. East Tilbury (heart-of-wessex)
2. Benfleet (jonb)

 

[heart-of-wessex]

one being Barking..

 

[Sprinter]

one being Barking..

Now why did I predict someone saying Barking as an answer! Barking has recently gained the c2c purple and pink station name signsbut only on the platforms on which c2c trains call i.e 3,4,7 and 8.

Platforms 1, 1A, 2, 3 and 6 do still retain the NSE style signs but this is because these platforms are the responsibility of other operators (i.e Silverlink and LU), even though the station as a whole is smanaged by c2c!

so i'm afraid Barking does have c2c style name boards!

Thorpe Bay

 

[Mojo]

Does Pitsea still have them?

 

[Sprinter]

Does Pitsea still have them?

Nope, Pitsea has the c2c style name boards now, as does Thorpe Bay.

So, keep guessing.

 

[Nitro]

I believe Grays has the old NSE boards...

 

[Jim]

Southend East?

 

[Julian G]

Ockendon?

 

[Sprinter]

WRONG! Southend E, Grays and Ockendon all have c2c style name boards

Can't be many more stations left to guess!

 

[heart-of-wessex]

woodgrange park?

Tilsbury?

 

[Julian G]

Fernchurch Street?
Shoeburyness?
Leigh-on-Sea?

 

[Sprinter]

You are all still completely WRONG with your guesses.

Fenchurch Street is managed by National Rail, hence has the NR maroon Fenchurch Street scheme and since when has a c2c train called at Woodgrange Park? That's a NLL station!

 

[heart-of-wessex]

Rainham?
East Tilsbury?

errrm...dagenham dock has c2c i think anyway..

...errrr chafford hundred?

 

[Sprinter]

CORRECT! East Tilbury is indeed one of the stations on the c2c network to retain NSE sytle station signs

Dagenham Dock, Rainham and Chafford 100 all have c2c style name boards.

So what is the other station that retain NSE station name boards?

 

[Jim]

Upminster
Limehouse (sure it has c2c)

 

[Sprinter]

Both those stations have c2c sytle name boards, so that has now ruled out every station west of Upminster/Grays!

Any more guesses?

 

[jonb]

West Horndon, Laindon, Stanford-le-Hope or Chalkwell?

 

[Sprinter]

All those stations have c2c style station name boards...

Should be easy now, you have collectively eliminated the majority of stations on the c2c network!

 

[Nitro]

Rainham

 

[Sprinter]

If you had read the thread carefully enough, you would noticed that Rainham was already on the list of incorrect answers!

 

[Nitro]

Ooops didnt notice anyway how about Stanford-le-Hope

 

[Sprinter]

That is also on the list of incorrect answers! See jonb's post above....

 

[Nitro]

Sigh I just cant get ir right can I, anyway is Shoeburyness one

 

[Sprinter]

that too is in the incorrect answers list! Look at the stations that have been said and then make your guess

 

[jonb]

Westcliff/Benfleet/Tilbury Town!/Purfleet?

 

[Mojo]

Well it's not Westcliff, as that's had new signs from when it was still called LTS

 

[Sprinter]

...Benfleet....

At last!!! Benfleet (for Canvey Island) is the second station on the c2c network that still retains NSE stations name boards.

This quiz took much longer than I thought it would! Doesn't anyone use the c2c network beyond Dagenham Dock...?

I use it mainly between West Ham & Dagenham Dock and also a lot between Upminster & Chafford Hundred.
