I should think so

I admit to being old enough to remember it though the details have slipped my memory

Lancing?

Bicester North is the answer I was after - clue 5 being about slip coaches and 4 Virgin blockade busters - running today I believe (or certainly yesterday)

March

Although I doubt it is true of XC, I can believe that GA (or at least NXEA before them) may have (had) to send out a non-170 at some stage or another.

Reedham (Norfolk)

Isn't that served by both 153s and 156s, with 170s subbing. In fact, is there still a 150 (280?) at Clown Point as well.

If that is the case then it is too bad. More of my points down the drain...
