The entire Merseyrail Northern and Wirral lines.

All trains are “all-stops” though I believe that fast services to Southport and Chester are being contemplated.

Edit: I didn’t know about Capenhurst!

The problem with "fast" services is that they will soon catch up with the stopper in front.

In that case, might as well add Hamworthy, Wareham, Yeovil Pen Mill and everything on the WofE line between Salisbury and Honiton.
I believe the last Exeter to Salisbury runs non-stop after Yeovil, unless this has changed

I believe that is due to change with the new timetable, the last Exeter service only runs to Yeovil to stable overnight
Ah right I wasn’t aware of that. What about the crew assuming they are based at Salisbury?

All the stations between Newton and Larkhall should count (excluding WCML lines at Newton).

And also excluding the Saturday only 1M21 04:26 GLC-EUS which passes Newton platform 2
and the 5S80 2045 Edinburgh to Polmadie Car M.D. ECS stock which runs the Hamilton Circle.

I don't think anything in service bypasses Preston, does it?
I think there is too much freight/royal mail/empty stock passing through for this one to count, especially at night. There must be at least 20 non-passenger trains per night which pass through Preston non stop.

Weston-super-Mare is on a loop so only stopping trains venture down there. Non-stopping trains stay on the main line.

Liverpool South Parkway and Shotton both have services running through non stop and are on the routes you mention.

Kirkby line gets freight for Knowsley Freight Terminal

Also 0533 Manchester Victoria to Kirkby runs nonstop from Salford to Wigan via Atherton

Plockton (if you exclude the once a week Royal Scot posh train during the summer) - every Scotrail train that goes thru' it stops.

Where will they find the rolling stock to do additional services, when the Class 777 fleet is already undersized?

Hmm - there's lots not known about Capenhurst, home of Britain's uranium "enrichment" plant...

Isn't there still a last train od the day, possibly Sundays only, non stop from Honiton? Axminster?

Pretty sure all trains stop at all stations on the Bishop Line (North Road, Heighington, Newton Aycliffe, Shildon and Bishop Auckland).

Guide Bridge to Hadfield/Glossop all trains call at all stations.
The public timetable issued for late 2019 indicated that the 10:03 Manchester Piccadilly -> Glossop/Hadfield (Sundays only) workings omitted calling at the ever delightful Flowery Field.
