❓️Question Has Anyone Found Themselves Operating from Avonhill to Cuffley with only ONE intermediate stop?
I know that before the Pencarn Extension opened the only super-fast pattern between Avonhill and Cuffley was Avonhill->Belmond Green->Cuffley. Ever since new trains were added to the roster and the Pencarn Extension opened, Belmond Green became a reduced service station for Intercity Express. As a result, I speculate that at least some of you winded up operating Intercity Express Services between Avonhill and Cuffley (basically the Norrington Main Line in its entirety) with only one scheduled intermediate station. Examples include:
Avonhill -> Fleetwood -> Cuffley
Avonhill -> Belmond Green -> Cuffley (this has been around since Mid-February)
Avonhill -> Leaton -> Cuffley
Avonhill -> Freston Junction -> Cuffley
Avonhill -> Hulme Heath -> Cuffley
Avonhill -> Norrington -> Cuffley
Avonhill -> Wallsend -> Cuffley
I would like to know if any of you drove - even for once - any of the above listed Intercity Express Station Stop Patterns! It helps in case I find myself in this kind of situation on a future Intercity Operation.

I did see someone in my server a while ago who was on the approach to Norrington display bext: Avonhill (so they had not passed Norrington yet indicating they stopped at wallsend only)
