You would be correct saying that.

Alrighty then...
1. The service is operated by a DMU.
2. The three-letter code of the terminus forms a word in the English language.
3. The starting station is an electrified terminus.
4. There is a more frequent service between these two stations via a different route.

Sorry. Q2 was slightly unclear, because in Q3 you referred to the starting station being an electrified terminus. Therefore, I thought that Q2 would be relating to the origin/starting station hence Manchester Piccadilly (MAN).CTR isn't a word

7. The service passes through two request stops, however the majority of trains are not booked to call at either.

The answer I was looking for was Norwich - Great Yarmouth via Reedham (the more frequent route being via Acle) but I'll accept that!

Well done! I was specifically thinking the overnight service which calls at Stafford, but you got it regardless, so over to you.

I didn't expect to get it that fast.
1. The service is timed for 125mph
2. The origin has direct services to Derby, Nottingham and Leicester
3. The destination is a dead end terminus
4. The service calls at all stations between origin and destination which are served by that TOC (except for 1)*
*IE: The train may skip out stations, but they are stations that are not served by that TOC. All stations that the TOC serves are served by the service except for one. Example: If LNER ran a service between London and Newark North Gate that called at Stevenage, Peterborough and Newark North Gate (missing out Grantham).
