Does anyone know whether the Overland still actually stops at Wolseley.
It used to when operated by AN due to the crew change , but with NR operating
the train there would be no need for a crew change.
GSRs timetable still shows it as stopping.
I couldnt imagine any real passengers ever getting on and off,as theres
essentially nothing there.
If it doesnt stop ,you could speed up the timetable by about 10 mins allowing
for the slowdown , stop and starting off again.
If it doesnt stop it will be historic in that it will be the first passenger
train ever that hasnt stopped there.
I presume in the case of trains like SCT & TNT there is still crew change?

cheers
