OK, I am at a railway station somewhere in the UK. But where am I?!

Are you served by a franchise run by First Group?

Is the station served exclusively by trains that are diesel powered?

Are you between the WCML from London to Glasgow, and the ECML from London to Edinburgh?

This makes no sense but if I assume you mean "do you see class 15x units at this station then my answer is uncertain.

The reason I say this is because whilst I have seen a photo of a class 15x train at this station, I have no idea how old the photo is and whether any relevant TOCs regularly use 15x's on this route. With all the inter-TOC stock changes that go on these days I would say that there is a reasonable likelihood of a class 15x train arriving at this station if you wait long enough for one to turn up. So it's sort of "yes but not 100% certain".

So in case you're lost, here's a recap of where I might be:

You cannot get to this station direct from Newcastle
This station is not served by First Group-run franchises
This station is located in England
The station is served exclusively by diesel-powered trains
You cannot get to this station direct from Clapham Junction
This station is located (geographically) between the WCML (Euston to Glasgow) and the ECML (King's Cross to Edinburgh)
This station is not north of the latitude of Manchester
This station may well be served by class 15x trains (see my reasoning in the above post)
