Is it Bedford St. Johns?
Bedford Midland is on the mainline to London, but St. Johns was built by LNWR and not directly connected to the mainline until 1984?

Not Bedford, but getting warm. You've got the right companies at least.

Thats lucky then, because you didn't prove me wrong...

The last time I checked, you're only allowed to give one answer

It wasn't an answer, it was a list.

Tbh I don't even get the question, and then looking at the list, none of those seem to match the 'criteria' that I was thinking of?

I may say Dunbar: managed by EC, but still served by them (not very much though!), and EC links London and Glasgow (both ends of the WCML) but via a different route? Quite confusing wording, tbh.

Can you explain the question more? It doesn't make much sense

Absolutely sir
The trains that stop at this station are not trains managed by the company that own the station but you can travel either way to get to the West Coast Main Line
That make it clear sir?

Coleshill Parkway: managed by LM, trains services suppiled by XC, eastbound to Nuneaton (on the 'true' WCML), westbound to Birmingham New St (on a 'loop', but still on the WCML)?

Well that must be a record, Coleshill Parkway is the correct answer!
Wasn't really too tricky when the question was phrased properly. Don't think anyone would have got it in a million years otherwise, except by working one by one through the list of stations owned by one TOC and with services provided by another. 'Both sides of the WCML' means up and down lines AFAIAC.
