No, have one more go

 

[DanNCL]

Alton?
(If it's not Alton then I have absolutely no idea where on earth this could be!)

 

[A Challenge]

It is!

 

[DanNCL]

At last! For the last clue I was quite literally using Google Earth to find out how many level crossings there were on each of the SWR Branches! (I'm not at all familiar with much of the SWR area)

Presumably by Edinburgh you mean Waverley, but what do you mean for Birmingham?

He

Alton?

Alton has three platforms not two!!!!!!

Aren't only two of them used by National rail though? (I'd have no idea; I've never been there)

Manchester Oxford Road?

Not Manchester Oxford Road

Clue 4: This station has a half hourly service to Newcastle

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Aren't only two of them used by National rail though? (I'd have no idea; I've never been there)


Not Manchester Oxford Road

Yes but it still has three platforms, that clue about two platforms is very misleading

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

I'm going with Carlisle

EDIT: No wait I misread clue 3

 

[A Challenge]

Sorry about that, I wasn't sure what to say but didn't want to hint to that as it would give it away! And half hourly Carlisle to Newcastle?
