Crowthorne is managed by Great Western Railway, who operate services on the North Downs Line from Reading to Guildford, Redhill and Gatwick Airport.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Perth is also a seven-platform station.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Aberdeen is another that was once served by full length HSTs, but is now served by short ones.

Glasgow Queen Street is also a Scottish category " A" listed railway station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

In 1878 Glasgow Queen Street was redesigned by the civil engineer James Carswell [1882–1890). Another of his works was the construction of Inverkeithing station in 1890.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

St Ives was also opened in 1877.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Mr Frank Hobley was the Station Master at St Ives between 1912 and 1918, having previously held the same post at Banbury.

Are you sure it was in the currently open St Ives station in Cornwall where he was the Station Master, as Banbury is an extremely long distance away from Cornwall.

The closed St Ives station in Huntingdonshire was opened on 17th August 1847 by the St Ives and Cambridge Railway and was closed on 5th October 1970.

There are many possibilities for why the stationmaster here could have moved. Yes the distance is long, but the GWR was a huge company, even pre-grouping, and both stations were run by them, so it's not impossible that said Mr Hobley could have moved within the company, even back then.

I offer my most sincere apologies and now accept the originally-made posting is true in all respects.

The quiz should be recommenced from this posting.

 

[Springs Branch]

Chester is another station which historically had the suffix General.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hull Paragon is also a Grade II* listed railway station.

 

[Whistler40145]

Driffield is also served by Northern

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Seamer was also once served by a long-closed branch line.

 

[Springs Branch]

Following the LNER's closure of most wayside stations to passengers in 1930 to increase capacity for holiday and excursion trains, the only intermediate stations on the York - Scarborough line have been Seamer and Malton.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Settle is also a Grade II listed railway station.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Appleby is the only other intermediate station on the Settle to Carlisle line which has never closed.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Witton is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1876.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Witton station serves the Witton area of the city of Birmingham, and Mr W Pedia warns us not to be confused with Whitton station in Southwest London.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chestfield & Swalecliffe was also opened by the Southern Railway in 1930.

 

[Springs Branch]

Colchester also saw introduction of electric trains in 1959.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manors was also the scene of a railway accident in 1913.

 

[Springs Branch]

Ashton-under-Lyne is another National Rail station with a homonymous stop on the local metro / light rail system, where the heavy & light rail stations do not have a particularly convenient (or well-signposted) interchange.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bexhill is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1846.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Cooden Beach serves the district of Cooden at the western end of Bexhill and is also on the East Coastway Line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Aldrington was also opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1905.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Neither Aldrington or Fishbourne (Sussex) stations have a ticket office, but both have ticket machines.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wembley Stadium is also a DfT category F1 station that was opened in 1906.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Wembley Stadium is the final stop on the route between Birmingham (Snow Hill or Moor Street) to London Marylebone. Bordesley has the same distinction for trains travelling north to the two Birmingham stations.
(I appreciate that not all trains stop at either or both stations, but this is a geographical rather than a service offering)
