Class 37/4 pulling into BERNEY ARMS, NORFOLK - Wherry Lines - Request stop by Passenger 749 From Wikipedia: Stranded in the middle of marshy fields Berney Arms is reputed to be Britain’s shortest station. As the name suggests it serves a pub which must also be one of Britain’s remotest. - not present in TS 2020 Far from the nearest road the only ways you can get to this watering hole are by boat along the River Yare, on foot, or by rail on one of the few trains that will stop here even if requested. A riverside stroll from Great Yarmouth to sink a few jars here before getting the train home makes for a satisfying day out. Just don’t try it in winter: the pub’s closed.
Class 175 calling unexpectedly at Y FALI/VALLEY, Station ANGLESEY, NWC Extension. (probably not allowed but posted for interest). From Wikipedia Travel a few miles from Hollyhead, ie further west on Anglesey and you’ll come to a windswept village near RAF Valley where trainee jet pilots go hurtling about. The railway station had been bumbling quietly along for nearly a century when in 1940 an aerodrome was hastily built next door to protect Merseyside from air raids. Unfortunately the runways are right next to huge dunes whose sand clogged up aircraft engines, giving Valley one of the war’s worst safety records.

Route: Portsmouth Direct Line: Waterloo - Portsmouth Loco: Class 450 and Class 455 (the ones that come with the route)
So far every screenshot tipped by somebody as a must win hasn't; it's like it's a kiss of death! Last week both Craigie-C and LargeInjector had 'must win' entries which didn't.
Yes it usually happens, but I remember a shot of a CP train in the FRC that was a must win and it did win, I can't remember the author though.
