3. The origin station is a terminus.
4. All platforms at the destination station are through platforms.

That was an obscure one, well thought of, I wouldn't have got it if it wasn't for a Least Used Station video mentioning it!

1) This journey runs less frequently than one train per hour in the week
2) The destination is a Network Rail DfT Category A Station
3) The traction is not electrified
4) The origin was used by fewer than 500,000 people in 2016/17
