There was a period when hardly anything electric ran between Wolverhampton and Stafford.
XC/VT had become Voyagers, and Central went from 323 to 170 when Liverpool-Birmingham became Liverpool-Birmingham-Stansted and was diesel-worked.
So for several years Penkridge hardly has any electric trains (there was some freight and the odd VT 390 service passing through) until the 350s started.
Carstairs-Edinburgh was rather similar after Voyagers came in, but the sleepers and East Coast services stayed electric.
The local services on Crewe-Kidsgrove remained DMU-only (Crewe-Derby) during the initial WCRM electric diversions, until the 350s began a Crewe-Stoke-London service.
Waterloo International saw no trains for several years after Eurostar left for St Pancras, until recently (it's still not fully used).
The GOBLIN is still waiting for its local electric trains (some freight is using the OHLE).
