Not quite, 0453 Inverness-Edinburgh via Aberdeen and the 0930 Edinburgh-Aberdeen don't stop. All the stations between Nairn and Aberdeen will qualify though.

I think every station between Kilmarnock and Gretna qualify, as do the stations South of Ayr towards Stranraer.

Fife Circle between Rosyth and Glenrothes.

Cheers for the correction, didn't know about they 2 services.

To return the favour; the XC service from Plymouth to Dundee runs non stop to Markinch via Dunfermline on weekdays (for whatever reason) :)

Selby? Can't think of any non-stop passenger trains.

Agreed, other contenders in North/East Yorkshire:

Beverley
Driffield
Bridlington
Bempton
Hunmanby
Filey

But not:
Brough - 1K04 does not call
Cottingham - 2W00 does not call
Seamer/Malton - summer EMT services do not call (although I suppose they qualify in the winter?!)

Odd that you post that today, looks like there are loads of passes. :)

There are a couple of booked late-night unadvertised class 1 services Hayes to Lewisham (ISTR this has something to do with being able to carry passengers who are unable to leave the train at Hayes to somewhere where assistance is available) - there's also the 0449 Tonbridge to Charing Cross.

Brora
Helmsdale
Forsinard

West Line;
Garve
Achnasheen

Diss is one that I cannot see any Passenger passes in the WTT.

And if we are referring to termini as an 'end of the line' station then Harwich International is another.

To list a few more:

Southend Airport
Wickford
Rochford
Rayleigh
Hockley
Wivenhoe
Thorpe-le-Soken
Trimley

There a quite a few on the GA branches.

However, I feel almost certain that someone is about to inform me that I have completely got the wrong end of the stick with this question. :lol:

It looks like ATW no longer run their overnight Chester to Manchester Airport service via the Mid-Cheshire line. Therefore every passenger service running between Mouldsworth and Navigation Road stops at all stations en-route.

What date were you looking at? It's in here for a date in February, and indicates that it's still booked that way LTP for the currency of the timetable.

It used to show up if you selected AW services at KNF from 00:00-23:59 but no longer does but now you've said that I've found it still appears if you select NWI or ALT instead.

Probably as Knutsford isn't an official timing point (whereas Northwich and Altrincham are, as seen in the link). I believe RTT insert the rest of them in the days leading up to activation, which explains why sometimes other 'timing points' may show it.

You mean Mandatory Timing Point. :lol: It is an official timing point, but only for trains that stop. ;) But yes, you are correct the intermediate timing points, that the train is not timed at, appear on trains from around 3pm ish the day before.
