University

Both DMUs and EMUs stop at University - so that clearly fails clue 2.

Clue 3 : this station is AC electrified

Never used to...

Erdington

Braintree?

Clue 4 : this station only has one platform

 

[Buttsy]

Alvechurch

 

[PermitToTravel]

Glossop

 

[gnolife]

Heysham Port... or possibly not

 

[clagmonster]

I am concerned that all responses, my own included, may fail clue 2 as I am concerned that DMUs/350s/360s may get down the respective branches.

I shall hope that 350s (or I suppose any DMUs) aren't booked to make Redditch, as that is my entry.

 

[PermitToTravel]

Redditch, Alvechurch, and Glossop are only booked trains today with a timing load of EMU323 (I do not have access to the diagrams to check that they agree with the timing load).
Heysham Port is not electrified.

 

[martinsh]

Alvechurch

Alvechurch is correct.

Regarding clue 2 - I did say "normally" only one class of unit

 

[PermitToTravel]

Sorry, I had no idea DMUs call at University
