Guess the Station...

[gnolife]

It's not Sheffield.

Other than Wigton, the stations that you've chosen have been far too important, and more importantly, managed by the wrong TOC.

Aspatria?

 

[gnolife]

Not Aspatria.

 

[backontrack]

Appleby?

 

[gnolife]

Not Appleby.

You've guessed exactly one station that falls within a 50 mile radius of this station, and then only barely.

Whitehaven? I've never seen a sign like this anywhere tbh... Is it ever used??

I've got no idea. The sign was lying by omission when the photograph was taken.

It's not Whitehaven.

I've got no idea. The sign was lying by omission when the photograph was taken.

So ... it didn't have any trains that day, or around that time?

 

[backontrack]

Blaydon?

No comment

And it's not Blaydon

Chathill?

 

[gnolife]

Not Chathill.

I would strongly recommend that you refer back to post 31265. The clue still stands as of the guess of Chathill.

 

[backontrack]

Barrow?

 

[gnolife]

Ugh! I'm quite offended that you think that I'd want to take a picture of anything in the town of Barrow!

Workington?

st bees
but is it on the west coast or east coast

 

[gnolife]

It's not Workington or St Bees

And it's not on either coast

 

[Crossover]

Reddish South?

Settle

 

[Buttsy]

Askam

 

[trevwilliams]

Guiseley

 

[gnolife]

None of the above.

Reddish South is the closest guess.

guide bridge

 

[gnolife]

It's not Guide Bridge

Dinting

Not Dinting

If the closest at that point was Reddish South, then I think we need to be within 50 miles (but only just) of exactly one of Sheffield or Crewe, since nothing else is far south enough.

That eliminates almost all of Greater Manchester, I think. The remaining possibilities look to be West of the WCML but south of Preston (and presumably north of ~Wigan), or else somewhere on an arc of approximately Burnley-Skipton-York-Brough.

I am sure I will be corrected if I've got any of that wrong. I've been wondering if the 'lying by omission' thing could alternatively mean that Northern don't run many trains here, but it's a really vague clue so I'm fumbling here.

 

[gnolife]

I'll tell you two things
In relation to the first point, choose Crewe
In relation to the third point, Northern provide all the services
