Great Chesterford. I'm noting that the phrasing of clue 3 doesn't prevent the same TOC stopping and passing through for the purposes of the clue.

Sadly I am not sure of whether it was served by Network Southeast, that being before my time, but judging by the fact SWT pass through, I'm going to guess Avoncliff.

Correct, Chiltern pass through on a late night train - 23:15 Stratford-Upon-Avon to Oxford, only Chiltern service to run south from Banbury to Oxford

And theres a return working, 2U91 OXF - BAN calling at Tackley, Heyford (00:53), Kings Sutton and Banbury.

Anyway, taking the floor,
1) This station is North of a journey taken from Penzance to Ramsgate, taken by changing at Exeter St Davids, Clapham Junction, Peckham Rye, London Bridge, London St Pancras and Faversham.

3) This station has approximately 50% of the passenger trains that run through stop. This clue only applies to the off peak hours, defined for the purpose of this clue as Monday to Friday 10:30 - 16:30.

5) All off-peak Northern services stop. Each TOC that runs through non-stop runs exactly one service in each direction each hour through this station off-peak. My definition of Off-peak remains the same as in clue 3.

Clue 1: This station is south of the route taken by the 0723 Balloch-Edinburgh Waverley service, which runs on Mondays-Fridays.

In that case I apologise for my misleading clue and I will be fined the relevant number of points for such an inaccuracy (should this still be scored). :oops:
