It reminds of when the Liverpool - Newcastle service ran non stop along Chat Moss and when travelling to/from Newcastle, having to change at Manchester for a local service stopping at a station of which the train I'd just alighted from would be sailing through.

Long distance trains can't stop everywhere. At least it's not like at Hartford or Winsford where you can't get a train towards Warrington, so have to go in the wrong direction to Crewe and then back through the station you started at!
