Trivia: Stations served by only one train type

[D6130]

Back in the day, the first generation DMUs rarely ventured south of Kilmarnock.

In the late 1970s/early 1980s there was a regular weekday out-and-back working from Ayr to Carlisle with a three car Swindon Inter-City class 126 unit. I caught it back from Kirkconnel one day in - think 1980 - when I had gone down from Central with 26 031, which I needed for haulage. If I find the appropriate notebook, I'll post it on the "Back in the Day" thread.

I seem to recall seeing more than one shot of a 126 at Carlisle in the early 1980s when the Intermediate DMS had lost the gangway connections. Presumably they appeared in the 1970s as well.

See above.

Resited Bathgate has also had a 158 and 170 serve it before the A2B fully reopened and it continued for a period after the line opened. I recall doing it in the first few weeks and saw a 170 roll in on a terminating service.

And 156's as well (occasionally)

was Heathrow 1,2,3 ever served by anything other than 1973 Stock?

Heathrow opened in 1977 and the last of the 1959 stock didn’t move from the Piccadilly to the Northern until 1979.

Thanks.

And an eye-opener - this thread must be a contender for the fastest amount of replies by posters who've not read the question properly

I'm sorry, but you've all failed your test

Given its ambiguity at the start, it's fairly forgivable. Wording is crucial - 'stations that have only ever been served by one train type in their history' would have clinched it.

Sorry if it's been mentioned (and is even correct!) - Hythe and Hythe Pier (or is standard gauge/national rail network also a stipulation)?

Most German S-Bahn stations apart from those where RE services call also.

Stratford International is only served by Class 395s.

[Doomotron]

The stations on the Marshlink line are only served by 171s.

Any sleepy branch lines or narrow gauge lines that didn't survive that long and so were worked only by a loco or two of the same type?
