Clue 5: There have been proposals to move this station eastwards; however the most recent plans for this were scrapped in 2009.

Well it would appear I have made a blunder there. I was after Newton-le-Willows, unaware that TPE had started stopping there regularly. 6 points off for me and open floor.

TPE do not stop at Newton yet. They run fast from Manchester Victoria to Liverpool

Newton-le-Willows has direct trains to two stations serving international airports (Clue 4)

As well as regular trains to Manchester Airport, there is ATW's 1H98 21.04 Birmingham International to Manchester Piccadilly (via Shrewsbury, Chester & Warrington BQ) - one train per day and in this direction only, stopping at NLW at 00.02

I missed that as well :oops:

So either way, a dud clue penalty for me and open floor.

3)I am not electrified and have regular services to Birmingham and Cardiff, both provided by the same TOC (although there are others to one or both Brum and Cardiff)
