Trivia: Stations that are not managed by the main operator that calls there?

Birmingham Moor Street is managed by Chiltern but has more WMR services. Also Lapworth, Dorridge and Solihull (these last two are probably only just WMR led).

Southend Airport: GA trains, but managed by the airport itself.

Northern. Thirsk, Northallerton, Yarm, Thornaby and Middlesbrough are the only TPE stations north of York.

Thanks, I remember that Eaglescliffe ticket office used to be run by a company called Chester-le-Track but they closed for some reason.

They were, as I recall, a rail friendly travel agency.

Fishguard Harbour. Owned and operated by Stena Line, but all services operated by Transport for Wales.

Prestwick International Airport I think is owned by the airport itself but ScotRail serve it.

And I may be wrong, but Stranraer is owned by Stena Line (still) yet there are no ferry sailings from there anymore, only ScotRail services.

I am pretty sure that those stations are still managed by the relevant train operator. It is the owner that differs rather than the station manager. Fishguard Harbour is owned by Stena Line instead of Network Rail but is still managed by Transport For Wales. Stranraer is owned by Stena Line instead of Network Rail but is still managed by Scotrail. Prestwick Airport is owned by Prestwick Airport instead of Network Rail but is still managed by Scotrail. Southend Airport is owned by Southend Airport instead of Network Rail but is still managed by Greater Anglia. So i would not count any of those as they are just owned by someone other than Network Rail but still managed by the main TOC that calls there.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but Newport and Severn Tunnel Junction get more calls (and number of vehicles calling) by GWR than TfW.

Port Talbot and Neath probably have more GWR carriages calling but not number of services.

Romsey gets the same number of calls by both operators, but GWR provide more carriages.

Indeed, all these stations above were managed historically by the GWR franchise at some time.

No. as TrenHotel said earlier, it's managed by the airport. Even National Rail thinks so (https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/southend-airport/). Here also is the airport company's station operating licence: https://orrprdpubreg1.blob.core.win...ed to London Southend Airport Company Ltd.pdf

Of course, they work closely with the operator, but actual station management is the airport's responsibility.

I believe it's now run by Grand Central, though Eaglescliffe station is operated by Northern.
