1. This journey is operated by a Stagecoach TOC *

3. The destination station is served by seven TOCs.
4. This journey operates SX (i.e. Monday to Friday)

As in the previous puzzle, this may include either of the two "Virgins".

What I had in mind was the reverse journey (1M87 20:10 SX Glasgow Central to Crewe / VT 390), but this answer satisfies all clues except for switched TOC headcount between origin & destination.

So I'll call @DanTrain's Floor.
Thanks :)

1) This service also operates once a day Mondays to Fridays
2) This service is entirely within one country
3) The origin is not in London or the South East
4) The destination is not in Devon or Cornwall

Cardiff Central to Milford Haven on a 175? (I think all services on this route originate from Manchester Piccadilly, apart from one?)

Clue 1: This journey does not start in Wales
Clue 2: At least part of this route is electrified
Clue 3: This journey does not start in, end in, or pass through Greater London
Clue 4: The rolling stock can't operate at 125 mph.
