Our 0930 ex-Grimsby Town (I think it was that one anyway!) went to some odd destinations in recent years. I can particularly remember Chester (via Shrewsbury) and Aberystwyth as two. These were certainly well into Central Trains days too - even up until just a year or three ago, when this (and most other Grimsby trains) were cut back to terminate at Newark Northgate. The last down train came from Cardiff Central in some timetables too, though I think that terminated at Market Rasen - another oddity!

Indeed we've had some odd diagrams on the 0930! I was looking at some old video from Barnetby the other day, which reminded me that it used to be a 3 car 170 to Birmingham! Now all we get is a 153 :(
