Station Code Game

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Alness

ASC

 

[37 418]

Ascott-under-Wychwood?

If so, (another tricky one ) - XLV

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

No, unfortunately it is not Ascott-under-Wychwood.(That is AUW).

Have another try at ASC

 

[gnolife]

Ashchurch (for somewhere that ive forgotten the name of)

ADC

 

[150222]

It is Ashchurch for Tewkesbury. ADC is Adlington (cheshire). SSD

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stansted Airport

WVF

 

[RyanB]

Wivelsfield

YSM

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ystrad Mynach


MHS

 

[37 418]

Meadowhall.

Now here's my tricky one - XLV

 

[RyanB]

Niagra Falls?

I suspect that I'm very wrong, but no station exists on NR network with XLV, unless you got it mixed up.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I was trying to use Roman numerals, as stated in the clue, to see if I could solve this...but to no effect yet. I understand the code prefix of "Z" as the first of three letters, but "X" is unknown to me in the normal station 3-letter codes.

 

[gnolife]

i think Xs are bus links (for example XXZ is Corby bus link), possibly Liverpool Airport?

There is an XLB, which is Leeds Bradford Airport bus link, so there is a possibility of a typing error

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I have just referred back to the rules as set by the OP and below are shown two of these:-

(1)...The code must be from a station in Great Britain.

(3)...The code has to be the proper station name as listed by Network Rail.

I trust that is of help to clarify the matter.

 

[RyanB]

I was having a wild stab in the dark in the hope of hitting something so no surprises in being wrong. I suspect this may have my attention for some time now.

 

[37 418]

It is actually the code for Liverpool Central (Deep Level) i.e. Wirral Line platform. LVC is the Northern Line (Low Level) platforms (and the station as a whole).

A similar code exists for Moorfields (XMR), although this strangely refers to the Low Level, and MRF the Deep Level and the station as a whole.

Here's another - SPX

 

[150222]

st pancras international OXT

 

[transportphoto]

Its not St Pancras Int.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The clue given to us to solve is SPX

Saxmundham is the only station that I know beginning with S and having an X in its name....but I have a feeling it will be something different, so I will not set a clue for the next station.

 

[gnolife]

I'd give my foot to know where hes getting these from, its clearly not somewhere thats widely accessible

I'd guess at St Pancras Domestic

 

[37 418]

SPX Is St Pancras International (Eurostar).

Open floor.

 

[RyanB]

Taking up the open floor

SXY

 

[burns20]

Saxilby?

 

[gnolife]

Hang on! hang on!
150222 put St Pancras International and it got rejected, if it happens that that is correct, then we should be restarting from OXT, which is Oxted

EDY

 

[RyanB]

burns20 - you were right with Saxilby. not that it matters really, given that we've now got EDY due to mix up.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

NOW THAT EVERYONE SEEMS HAPPY........

East Didsbury


LAS

 

[hmp455]

Langside

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Nice effort, but unsuccesful, for your first posting on the forum. It is not as obvious as other similarly named ones, so the clue still remains as:-


LAS

 

[37 418]

Llansamlet

LLY

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Llwnypia


LHE

 

[37 418]

That would be possibly the only station in the UK serving a charity ...
