Station Odd One Out

[CallySleeper]

Blackpool was not served by sleeper trains?

 

[David Goddard]

Keep going

 

[David Goddard]

OK, try this:
Barrow-in-Furness, Blackpool North, Liverpool Lime Street, Doncaster

Think through services

Looks like you have all given up on this one. Will give you 24 hours and if no takers then will reveal all.

 

[Trainfan344]

Doncaster is not a destination for through services from HS2?

 

[David Goddard]

Ok, got you all on this.
They all had through trains from Ely at some time in the 1980s (granted not all at the same time) but only Liverpool does today.

OPEN FLOOR

 

[Trainfan344]

Norwich, Ipswich, Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth the theme is services hauled by a certain class of loco's

 

[David Goddard]

To Birmingham with Class 31s, except for Lowestoft?

 

[Trainfan344]

Nope, not what I was thinking off. (It has happened since 1995 and may still be in operation occasionally today)

 

[12CSVT]

Lowestoft is the only station where electric locos have never been in the consist of a passenger service (class 90s are 'dead in tow' when loco hauled summer Saturday services run to Great Yarmouth)

Open floor if I'm right

 

[Trainfan344]

Nope, The class I am thinking off is a diesel locomotive

 

[sonic2009]

Class 47?

 

[12CSVT]

Anything to do with the class 50 on hire to Anglia in 1999 ? (in which case I'd say Ipswich was the only station which wasn't an end destination)

 

[Trainfan344]

Class 47?

Right class.

 

[Trainfan344]

Open floor

 

[Welshman]

OK - try this:-

Brighouse, Walsden, Bramley[West Yorkshire], Deighton.

 

[gnolife]

Brighouse is the only one served by a TOC other than Northern.

 

[Welshman]

Yes - I hadn't thought of that - but you're right - Brighouse is also served by Grand Central and occasionally by TPE.

My original thinking was that all four stations have been closed and re-opened, but Deighton is the only one to have been re-opened on a different line to the one it was originally on [Deighton was originally on the Kirkburton branch and not the main line].

But I must allow your answer, for it's just as correct.

Over to you.

 

[Welshman]

As gnolife seems to have forgotten about this one, I'll post another, and withdraw it if necessary:-

Llandudno
Huddersfield
Flint
Burnley Manchester Rd

Something to do with the station buildings

 

[southern442]

Is it that Burnley Manchester Road is the only one without a ticket hall/concourse?

 

[Welshman]

You're in the right area, but not the right angle.
Llandudno has a ticket hall of sorts, albeit more like a corridor!

 

[southern442]

is it that Burnley doesnt have station buildings?
if not, I think Llandudno's buildings surrounding the station are the only ones not in use.

 

[Welshman]

Again, you are hedging round it - try to think of the overall picture.

 

[Buttsy]

Burnley Manchester Road is the only one without Doric columns?

 

[Welshman]

I don't think Flint or Llandudno have doric columns.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
What I was looking for was that Llandudno, Huddersfield and Burnley Manchester Rd are in the process of being renovated, or will be shortly.
There is no work going on at Flint, nor is there any scheduled AFAIK.

Open floor.

 

[southern442]

Newbury Park, Wandle Park, Wilkinson Street, Tynemouth.

 

[madannie77]

Wilkinson Street, which is on a newly built section of tramway.

All the others are situated on railway lines now converted to tramway/metro/underground.

 

[southern442]

Well done, over to you.

 

[madannie77]

Sorry for the delay: been playing at trains all day and surprised that I was right!

I can't think of anything just at the moment, so it will have to be open floor.

 

[gnolife]

Belvedere, Conisbrough, Whifflet, Ashburys. Your theme is strong language.

 

[Trainfan344]

Gnolife, do you still know the awnser for this one?
