Only one that's even remotely worthwhile! ;)

Random fact for you all now. I have never boarded or alighted a c2c service at the following:

Dagenham Dock; East Tilbury; Laindon; Ockendon; Purfleet; Rainham; Southend East; Stanford-le-Hope; Stratford; Tilbury Town; West Horndon; Westcliff.

It goes without saying that I have however been through all of them, and have also boarded and alighted NXEA, LUL and DLR services at Stratford.

----------

Service through to Southport?

A slight variant on this. It'll either be far too easy or far too obscure

This service runs once a week. It's non stop over roughly 40 miles where all other services are a mixture of normal and request stops.

What service is it?

What about this one.

Mon-Fri service, runs only in the mornings in one direction. It is the only train to attach to another at a certain station. It also is the only train (before it attaches) out of all the services in that direction to run to it's destination station.

I hope that makes sense!

According to the NR timetable that service calls at Eggesford and Crediton. :?

The FGW website .pdf TT says it doesn't

I'm not proposing to travel on it to find out....:(

EDIT

The online journey planner also says it doesn't stop - and depending on which version you use suggests travelling via Exeter on that train

This seems to have died a death. Any takers?

A wild guess at the 0711 Gloucester to Stansted. Though it does run on Saturdays at a slightly different time

Nope, but to get it moving again I'll post a clue.

It is operated by Southern.

Is it the one that operates on the direct curve between Streatham Hill and Tulse Hill by any chance...?

You have confirmed my suspicions that it was a SOU-LBG run. Checking the timetable...

The 0548 SX 1C92 Southampton Central to London Bridge. Attaches to 1C90 from Bognor Regis at Barnham.

Okay, here's one:

This service runs once a day in one direction, however there do exist other direct services between the two endpoints via a different route. Neither end station is operated by the TOC whose service this is. Part of the track this service covers only sees four passenger trains a day.

This service runs from a mainline terminus to another mainline terminus (usually), calling at all intermediate shacks bar one that gets one train per 2 hours, and one that gets fewer than that. There is a different route that expresses usually take.
