Bristol Parkway has services to all three capitals.
My guess is Coventry

Inverness?

I reckon this has refined it down to just one or two stations, it’s working out which ones that is difficult... Very good series of clues!

Inverness?

I don’t think it can be anywhere in Scotland as everywhere that is served by LNER or Crosscountry (in order to share a TOC with Peterborough) is also served by Caledonian sleeper (and Scotrail) and thus doesn’t qualify for being served by two TOCs.

Thanks - I'm paranoid I've overlooked something somewhere though. Might have tried to be too clever for my own good...

This is good logic. Also, Inverness had 7 platforms.
