No Derby-built stock serves Oxenholme; it's only 390s (Birmingham/Savigliano), 221s (Bruges) and 185s (Krefeld).

 

[Robinson]

No idea tbh. I suspect when the answer is revealed I will either be kicking myself or appealing for a dud clue penalty...

 

[gnolife]

Apologies for the extremely long delay with this - I was expecting that someone would have picked up the floor by now. I was thinking of Oxenholme, but since it's already been pointed out that I've made a mistake with my clues, I'll take the penalty and open floor.

I am going to be away from the forums for a good few weeks now, so I'll see you guys a bit later
