Reverses twice to serve Newark North Gate
2 stations in same town are Newark North Gate and Newark Castle
TOC is EMR which changed from EMT a few weeks ago

Very well done! Also answers what would've been my next clue, in that it only runs in full, one journey, one day a week and in one direction (at the moment anyway). Whether that will change as things progress with the new franchise, only time will tell for sure. It is indeed a Sprinter, usually a 156, occasionally 158, or any combination up to 4 cars if deemed necessary. Anyway, I'll shut up now, except to say, @London Trains the floor is yoursCleethorpes to Nottingham (Sprinter but I'm not sure which)
