Well done! I make that about 8 mins from first lot of clues to you getting the correct answer - it is 07:10 Wrexham General to Wrexham Central
Thanks very much! :)

Have a go at this one:

1) The origin station's name consists of more than one word.
2) En route, the service calls at a station whose 3-letter station code has a letter that appears twice. *
3) The journey is timed for 100mph max.
4) The destination station is west of the origin station.

*
Clarification for Clue 2:
In the station's code, there's a letter that appears twice, ie. 2 out of 3 times. For example: Moses Gate (MSS) or Saltash (STS).

5) The first and last digit of the class of train which operates this service are odd numbers.
