Trivia: Rail Services which have been withdrawn since Privatisation

[AY1975]

when did Barrow-in-Furness to Euston end?

If you mean the Sleeper, I think it finished in about 1991, so before privatisation, and the daytime Barrow-Euston (if there ever was one at all) probably even longer ago.

Do routes they have closed count? Eg Moorgate-Farringdon

And Stratford-North Woolwich (closed December 2006).

Uckfield to Victoria?
Paddington to Birmingham New Street?
Maidstone East to Charing Cross?

I remember well seeing the Alphaline trains into Waterloo, and an Anglia Crosslink 170 rushing through West Hampstead (shortly proceeded by an empty stock GNER Eurostar from North Pole) when at the point 8 year old me had a heart attack.

I remember a Birmingham New Street - Fishguard Harbour service (use to be 08:58 from BHM), usually a Class 158. Only ever did it once when I lived in Coventry (short hop to Brum on a Class 310 )

• Coventry to Skegness (Until 2004; replaced by Coventry to Nuneaton service)

There use to be some random routes from Coventry via Leicester; Skegness, Nottingham, Sheffield, Worksop, Grimsby Town etc

Grimsby Town stopped before Privatisation.
