Does it pass through (or start, terminate at) either Manchester Piccadilly or Victoria?

Is the origin or destination station a terminus station? (That is, all services must stop there, and go no further.)

http://www.railcard.co.uk/clientfiles/File/map.pdf is the map I used to answer the railcard question.

I may need to look into the 'intercity' question. Is there an official definition or status?

The intercity question is a bit ambiguous. Some TOCs (eg FGW) operate a mixture of traditional "inter-city" services and local services.

Also moley has missed off at least one TOC that is still a possible answer.

I spoke to my Dad regarding the intercity question. He said the answer should have been YES. Apologies.
