Clue 2:
This station is only booked to be served by EMUs.

 

[FQ]

Penrith North Lakes.

 

[clagmonster]

Penrith North Lakes.

At the very least, the 18:13 Edinburgh Waverley to Manchester Airport is booked a DMU and calls at Penrith. There are probably others, I would be surprised if no Voyagers were booked to stop on a Glasgow-Euston via the West Mids.
