Barton-on-Humber to Cleethorpes by Class 153?

That’s it! Took a while

I actually had it to Grimsby Town, but it turns out it goes to Cleethorpes!

Some do terminate at Grimsby Town, others at Cleethorpes, or so says RTT.

Clue 5: The origin does have any services to London.

 

[DanTrain]

Milford Haven to Manchester Piccadilly

I've just spotted clue 5 should have the word not in the clue, so to reiterate the origin does not have a London service.
