Which train service am I on? #5 (in the siding)
Okay, here we go:
On Monday of last week, RobbieM found himself on a train. He was wearing (amongst other attire) a black hat and a black coat, but no sunglasses. He was carrying two rucksacks, the larger of which contained (amongst other items) a pack of three whisky miniatures, and a lump of cheese.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to discover which train was I on, and why?
(Okay - ignore the 'why' bit for now - that may come later if you're interested).
So, 20 questions as usual - and I've already told you that it's a weekday. Fire away!

Are you on a train that USES diesel traction

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Are you on a train that is powered by the OHLE?

Aye, it most definitely does! (That's a "yes", by the way...)tractakid wrote:Does your service serve a London Terminal station?

Re: Which train service am I on? #5
Does the service take more than 2 hours to reach it's destination?

(So that's a "No" then.)

Is your service entirely within the Network Railcard area?

Yes, it was. (Though the ticket I was travelling on wasn't eligible for the discount.)greatkingrat wrote:Is your service entirely within the Network Railcard area?
