One of the stations the service passes through without stopping is an interchange with a heritage railway. I'll give you another cue, this journey has been guessed in reverse.

Ryde Pier Head to Shanklin (483)?

If I am right, give whoever first guessed the reverse journey the floor.

 

[A Challenge]

Yes, and I think that means the floor goes to Springs Branch

 

[Springs Branch]

I won't have time to post a new game, so Open Floor
