I've wrote the following from what I know about rail services. However, I was wondering if anyone knew about any rail services that 'beat' the following.

1. Most request stops on a service:
11 on Arriva Trains Wales' service from Wrexham to Bidston near Birkenhead on a journey of just over an hour.

2. A train station that has a regular service, yet has the most trains going through it:
Hartford station (Liverpool to Crewe line) is generally served by one train to Liverpool and one train to Birmingham per hour. Yet the following trains go through it: alternate Liverpool to Birmingham services, Virgin's Liverpool to London service, Virgin's London to Glasgow/Edinburgh service, Birmingham to Glasgow/Edinburgh service and goods trains.

3. Longest journey time for a regular service for which you'd expect to see a Pacer train operate:
Northern's Chester to Manchester via Altrincham service (Usual journey time 1hr 27)

4. Longest journey time for an occasional service for which you'd expect to see a Pacer train operate:
Northern's Liverpool Lime Street to Huddersfield via Earlestown service (Journey time: 1hr 54)
(Although in the past First North Western used to run a service at about 15:50 from Chester to Blackpool ,usually using a pair of 142s, taking just under 3 hours. The service has since been spilt in to two seperate services (currently a 15:49 Chester to Manchester service, usually operated by a 142, and a 16:59 Stockport to Blackpool service, usually operated by a 150.)
