The westbound exit from Morley also leads into a tunnel under the town. [Morley also sees Cl.185s]

Peterborough is also served by Cross Couintry, East Coast and a First Group company.

I didn't think the link to cake was palatable...

Also adjacent to a railway depot is the more ordinary station at Bescot Stadium (originally called Bescot when opened in 1837, like Crewe)

Nantwich is next down the tracks after Crewe and Crewe station is on the Nantwich Road

Bloxwich is another former LNWR railway station that was opened in 1858....and having the same "wich" name suffix.
We were actually at Bescot Stadium! :-x I suggest people check the posting times!

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible!......For example I might start with Cardiff Central, the next person would reply Kings Cross (both have a platform 0) and the person after could say Gatwick Airport (another Network Rail managed major station).

Sitting like a line judge on the sidelines at Wimbledon, I have posted this section of the quiz rules as a guidance with special mention of the emboldened section.

Aberdeen also has one 'named' through train in each direction - The Northern Lights .

Pembroke Dock has one through train in each direction, named The Pembroke Coast Express.

Does the "Northern Lights not terminate at Aberdeen so it is not a through train?

Inverness is another terminus for trains from both London Kings Cross and London Euston
