Station association

[EbbwJunction1]

Both Plumstead and Belvedere stations have bicycle parking; the area at the former station is unsheltered, but at the latter station it is.

 

[M-Train]

Haydons Road is another third-rail DfT category E station where 700/0’s can be seen. However, Thameslink serves only Haydons Road, but not Belvedere.
(Haydons Road was last mentioned in 2011; this is only its second mention!)

 

[Springs Branch]

Haydons Road, when it opened in 1868, was known as Haydens Lane - until changing to its current name in 1889.

Another station which has seen a Lane / Road name transformation (in the reverse direction) is the original Preston Road - now today's Rice Lane.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fazakerley was also planned by the Liverpool and Bury Railway, who were amalgamated with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway prior to the station opening in 1848.

 

[M-Train]

There is a junction where double track becomes single near one end of Fazakerley; the same is true of Birkbeck.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Navigation Road is another station where one platform is dedicated to heavy rail services and one platform is dedicated to light rail services.

 

[M-Train]

The OHLE at Seven Kings is also revoltaged--only in this case, the revoltaging was DC to AC and not the other way round.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Five Ways station also has a number in it's name.

 

[M-Train]

Five Ways refers to a junction that still exists (albeit a non-rail one); but Mitcham Junction is no longer a junction applicable to any vehicles.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

There are two stations in Mitcham, the other one being Mitcham Eastfields; another place on the Sutton and Mole Valley Line with two stations is Ewell, where Ewell East and Ewell West can be found.

 

[M-Train]

Hampton Court is another Zone 6 station in Surrey served by SWR 455’s.

 

[Springs Branch]

When the L&SWR electrified the South-Western main line for suburban trains in 1916, the termini for electric trains from Waterloo were Hampton Court and Claygate.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

There is CCTV coverage of the car parks at both Claygate and Oxshott stations.

 

[M-Train]

Speaking of Oxshott, 455913’s new motor car, whilst still on the WR, mostly would have passed by/through Acton Main Line, without stopping.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

As part of the Crossrail project, both Acton Main Line and Hanwell stations have gained step-free access to the platforms.

 

[M-Train]

Between Hanwell and Drayton Green is a rare curve that has hardly seen a passenger.

 

[Springs Branch]

Speaking of Oxshott, 455913’s new motor car, whilst still on the WR, mostly would have passed by/through Acton Main Line, without stopping.

I must congratulate you on a very creative station association in post #20,774.
I had to do a minute or two's Googling there to piece together the story of 455913, the errant cement mixer falling on top of it and the replacement coach provided by a Class 210.

Continuing . . . .

According to ORR statistics, Drayton Green is one of the least used stations in the TfL Travelcard area, with 32,674 entries & exits in 2019/20.

The next least used station in the Tfl Zones in the same period (39,674) was Sudbury & Harrow Road.

 

[M-Train]

On weekdays, 4tpd serve Sudbury & Harrow Road in each direction; but the Overground service to Battersea Park is served even more infrequently, with 3tpd combined for BOTH directions.

 

[Springs Branch]

TfL's Oyster and Contactless fares system provides for Out of Station Interchanges (OSI) between Battersea Park and LU's new Northern Line station at Battersea Power Station.

Another pair of LU and National Rail stations where OSI is available is between Bank and London Cannon Street.

 

[M-Train]

Bexley is another SER station opened in 1866.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

There are no pay phones at Bexley; however, New Eltham station does have them, and they are operated by cards and coins.

 

[M-Train]

Stratford also played host to a wedding charter in recent years; that was on 7/4/18.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Stratford

Which Stratford station is this, please - "Upon Avon" or (London)?

 

[M-Train]

Which Stratford station is this, please - "Upon Avon" or (London)?

The London station; that is known simply as Stratford. It is only the station serving Shakespeare’s birthplace that is suffixed.
Also, the charter is on Six Bells Junction.

Thanks; I asked because I've seen that station referred to as Stratford (London) station as well.

So, here goes ... Luton is also a DfT Category B station.

 

[M-Train]

Reading West is also just immediately beyond the London contactless area.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Theale is also a station on the Reading to Taunton Line.

 

[M-Train]

West Ealing is another 3-platform station served by GWR.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pontefract Tanshelf was also opened in 1871.

 

[M-Train]

Just as there are 3 Pontefract stations, there are also 3 Enfield stations. Enfield Chase is one of them.
