Towns not cities with 3 or more stations

[northwichcat]

Apart from Pontefract, are there any other towns without city status that retain 3 or more stations?

 

[Robinson]

Helensburgh.

 

[clagmonster]

Burnley?

 

[wilsontown]

Harrogate? (Harrogate, Starbeck, Hornbeam Park)

 

[Zoe]

Reading has Reading, Reading West and Tilehurst.

 

[Dstock7080]

Acton ?

 

[martinsh]

Dorking, Walthamstow, Maidstone, Barry ...

 

[SWTCommuter]

Weston-super-Mare (Weston-super-Mare, Weston Milton, Worle)

[WestCoast]

Blackpool has 5 stations covered by the unitary authority area; Blackpool North, Layton, Blackpool South, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Squires Gate.

 

[DarloRich]

Darlington - North Road, Bank Top & Dinsdale

Heighington & Teesside Airport are also in the Borough of Darlington

Milton Keynes has 4: Wolverton, MKC, Blethcley, Fenny Stratford & Bow Brickhill

 

[voyagerdude220]

Birkenhead must be high in the 'league table' for this competition.

 

[reapz]

Penmere , the dell , falmouth docks

 

[Morgsie]

Hamworthy, Poole, Parkstone and Branksome in the Poole Unitary Authority Area

 

[Robinson]

Dumbarton can be added as well. As can Falkirk (I think; correct me if Camelon is outside Falkirk).

 

[Proud Salopian]

Debatable whether it counts as "a town" or several, but Telford has 3: Wellington, Oakengates and Telford Central.

 

[OliverS]

Colchester (North, Town [St Botolphs] & Hythe).

Ipswich if you count Westerfield as part of Ipswich.

And stretching even further, Harwich, Dovercourt & Parkeston Quay (Harwich International)

 

[PaulLothian]

and the winner is.....Greenock, with NINE stations.

Not sure about nine!

Greenock (7) - Cartsdyke, Greenock Central, Greenock West, Fort Matilda, Whinhill, Drumfrochar, Branchton

Coatbridge (5) - Coatbridge Sunnyside, Blairhill, Coatbridge Central, Whifflet, Kirkwood

Paisley (4) - Paisley Gilmour Street, Paisley St James, Paisley Canal, Hawkhead

Falkirk (3) - Falkirk High, Falkirk Grahamston and Camelon

Blackburn has 5, but I'm not sure if Ramsgreave & Wilpshire is in Blackburn or the Ribble Valley.

 

[SWTCommuter]

Not sure if this counts but Torbay unitary authority includes Torre, Torquay, Paignton, Goodrington Sands and Churston.

 

[iphone76]

What about Southend?

Central
East
Victoria
Airport

Plus if you include the borough, Shoeburyness, Thorpe Bay, Westcliff, Chalkwell, Leigh on Sea.

 

[cuccir]

Extending to Borough Councils/Unitary Authorities is a little dodgy.*

Gateshead is an odd one: excluding those around the edge of Gateshead Borough, it has three - Dunston, MetroCentre and Heworth - but none serving the town centre!


*but if we're doing that then Barrow-in-Furness has 4: Dalton, Roose, Barrow, Askam

 

[tony_mac]

There are four with 'Birkenhead' in the name, and 5 others within the parliamentary constituency.

 

[northwichcat]

I'm not sure if Ramsgreave & Wilpshire is in Blackburn or the Ribble Valley.

I was really meaning stations within a town, opposed to including stations in a village outside a town just because it's within the same unitary authority.

 

[cuccir]

Middlesbrough has 5: Middlesbrough, South Bank, Marton, Gypsy Lane and Nunthorpe.

Perhaps even more remarkably, Redcar has 3: British Steel Redcar, Redcar Central and Redcar East.

 

[northwichcat]

5 others within the parliamentary constituency.

If you use parliamentary constituencies Stocksmoor would be included as a Wakefield station, despite being closer to Huddersfield and having a Huddersfield postcode.

 

[davidgiles]

Ryde - Pier Head, Esplanade and St John's.
