One of the very important things for potential rail passengers is when trains call at their local station. Each of these is a snippet from Real Time Trains - scheduled arrivals for today. Can you identify the station in each case?

Please just try one each ... I know some are easy, but let others have a challenge ...

Indeed. Not sure why Real Time Trains has included a couple of freights in their "trains that call" list

And that is correct too.
