I meant Merseyrail at Lime Street.Yes, London Overground existed since November 2007.
The current CrossCountry franchise also started November 2007 and operated Brighton services via Kenny O until December 2008. So they used to meet.
Alphaline was under BR used for many 'Express' routes inc North West/-Anglia. It meant the train had catering, payphone & air-conditioning. Basically just a 158. I think it was dropped over time by all but South Wales & West, later just Wales & West then Wessex.
That was Wales & West, anyone remember Alphaline?
Wasn't it something like £2 connection charge and £1 per minute though? And phonecards!
Post 2 also suggests c2c and Southeastern.Think the only TOCs that currently don't meet XC are Island Line, London Overground and Merseyrail
Island line isn't a TOC, and c2c and South Eastern also don't meet XC.Think the only TOCs that currently don't meet XC are Island Line, London Overground and Merseyrail
NYMR is an 'open access' operator of timetabled services like Grand Central is, so yes, it should count. NYMR actually operates the Cromer service, too (on behalf of NNR). The Swanage Railway hasn't run its own trains yet and I think those trains that have run counted as charters rather than 'open access' in that way.Is the NYMR classed as a TOC for its services to Whitby?
Or Swanage Railway to Wareham?
North Norfolk Railway Sheringham to Cromer?
Plenty of foreign operators don't meet XC anywhere!Isle of Man Steam railway, Snaefell Mountain and Manx Electric Railway owned and operated by the IOM Government
My reasoning for the IOM was that if Isle of Wight is allowed then why not the IOM?NYMR is an 'open access' operator of timetabled services like Grand Central is, so yes, it should count.

When I went to Minehead on a charter lat year, it was listed as WR and stopped at Taunton and Reading if that counts?On RTT the Swanage to Wareham Sunday shuttle is listed as a West Coast Railway Company (WR) service. Do they meet XC in any of their operations?

Northern Ireland Railways, its still United Kingdom.
I saw a 345 (5Z54) pass through Reading Station today.And TfL only until December, if you believe the latest expectation/aspiration
and it still met GN at Peterborough/Ely to CambridgeI believe XC used to have a service from the North of England to Brighton? That would have meant that XC met all of the GTR brands except Great Northern

Which isn't a TOC...Island Line on Isle of Wight
