Shepperton?

 

[HST Power]

A different idea: Dump the destination. Looking on the Journey Planner is cheating and is usually banned from things like this. If you drop the time, there could potentially be multiple answers (e.g. PLY - PNZ could in theory be XC).

To showcase it, I'll do an easy one without the destination, but you will see the difference:

London Liv St
12:13
via Romford

What I would then suggest is that the destination becomes the answer, and not the TOC. The TOC could be added to the clues if required.

No problem. I'll go for that system!

 

[Captain Chaos]

Windsor and Eton Riverside?

 

[Ivo]

Chaos has it.

Matt: Shepperton trains almost always run via Wimbledon/Kingston, except for select peak hour services.

Bournemouth (on XC).

 

[Captain Chaos]

Bournemouth (on XC).

Darnnit!

Yeah that's the one. Was hoping it to last a while. Suppose it being a fairly unique service probably didn't help though.

Your turn.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Floor open

 

[me123]

How about...

Sundays only, 18:10 departure from Glasgow Queen Street, calling at Gleneagles ERT...

 

[paulravuslante]

Dundee?

Dundee?

Nope. The clue's in the "Sunday Only" part.

 

[dzug2]

Elgin

 

[me123]

That's the one. It's the only train in the week to go from Glasgow right through to Elgin via Inverness.

 

[paulravuslante]

Let's kickstart this thread back up:

Cardiff Central
08:09 (Monday to Saturday)
via Bridgend

ATW to Heart of Wales line, Shrewsbury

 

[paulravuslante]

Yes. Well done.

 

[HST Power]

ATW to Heart of Wales line, Shrewsbury

Your turn!

 

[me123]

Hmm... I'll give it another go and see what happens.

Service departs Glasgow Central at 15:14, calls at Motherwell, en route to where?

North Berwick?

 

[me123]

Dang, knew that was too easy

Try another

 

[paulravuslante]

1705 ex London Waterloo (Monday to Friday) via Clapham Junction.

What's the destination?

 

[MCR247]

Weymouth & Poole

 

[paulravuslante]

Weymouth & Poole

No. That particular service omits Clapham Junction. There's another 1705.

 

[ralphchadkirk]

1705 ex London Waterloo (Monday to Friday) via Clapham Junction.

What's the destination?

Aldershot.

 

[paulravuslante]

Aldershot.

Yes it is indeed, travelling via the indirect route (through Ascot et al).

 

[HST Power]

Who's going next then?

 

[gnolife]

ill do one since no-one else will
15:22 departure
from Liverpool Lime Street
Calls at Warrington Central

 

[Ivo]

Isn't that the TPE train that goes to 'Boro* and not Scarborough for no obvious reason?

(* I mean Middlesbrough, before anyone asks. Not that saying this should be necessary.)
