TRIVIA: Services that don’t stop at *any* stations managed by that TOC

[swt_passenger]

Ah, the morning GWR Portsmouth to Brighton train. That's a good one!

That's why I mentioned it earlier in the thread...

I think regarding the Southern discussions just above, there are no normal SN services between Portsmouth and Southampton, although they have run during engineering works, with trains out berthed, but I don't think it's happened for at least 2 or 3 years.

Then the idea that SN have a station somewhere along there may have cropped up because in a couple of previous discussions, it was suggested that Swanwick should be a Southern station on the basis that they provide most services there.

The 09:10 weekdays GWR service from Gatwick Airport to Reading would qualify but for that darned stop at Dorking Deepdene.

Wouldn't Reading itself also disqualify the service?

Wasn't trying to claim it as a new idea of course, just reiterating in Context of Fratton Depot.

That is Network Rail I think

This isn't the question this time round. We are looking for services that don't call at any of the operating TOCs stations...

The Jacobite: Fort William to Mallaig (it does stop at Glenfinnan as well)

Emerson Park

Right. Completely forgot that existed.

 

[pemma]

There's an early Crewe to Liverpool service operated by LM which runs non-stop to Runcorn, so that doesn't call at any LM managed stations.

The Jacobite: Fort William to Mallaig (it does stop at Glenfinnan as well)

08:19 Romsey - Brighton on Sundays

Technically it doesn't stop at any GWR managed stations (ignoring the fact it starts from Romsey which is a GWR outpost )
