Not altpgether sure that i am, since that would only mean new stock on the Paddington line, and the best they're talking about for anywhere else is cascading Turbos from London. Well, yay.

Stirling. Beautiful Edwardian buildings, semaphore signalling, two big mechanical signal boxes, plenty of traffic including freight.

At my present location: Deal.
An odd station, serving the town of Deal, about halfway between Dover and Ramsgate. Two roads, up and down, with a large gap between the two in the platform where a third road used to run; this wasn't a through road but referred to as the "middle siding". It was lifted in the 1970's I believe.
A pair of crossovers either side of the station allows trains to terminate and turn back in either platform during engineering works. I haven't seen this done recently (not sure if the crossovers are used all that often) but once caught a down service to Sandwich from P1, the up side, years ago during engineering works between Deal and Dover. An engineering train of (what I now know to be) Salmons loaded with track panels sat in P2, with a pair of 33's at the head at the same time.
Anything other than CEP/VEP's was a rarity on that coast line. Engineering works produced 33's, 73's, 37's, 47's and 58's, the Willesden-Dover TPO used to run through each weeknight at around 1800, with an ED at the helm - it was pot luck which one, Dutch liveried ones, the Pullman liveried "Royal Alex", NSE, Mainline. Nice bit of variety, but it was re-routed with top and tailed ED's towards the end of it's life and subsequently got completely axed with the death of TPO's. The odd EPB sandite, 47 hauled test train, steam specials made appearances too.
Still retains semaphores, and will do for a few years after the East Kent Re-signalling is completed. I believe these will be the only remaining semaphores in East Kent. The up starter is unusual in that it sits on a very short signal post as it abuts the London Road bridge. Deal has it's own signal box, termed the Glasshouse IIRC - 1930's SR vintage, with a rather art deco look about it. It was in the news a few years ago after two signalmen had a fight over milk. There's a level crossing to the downside of the station, Albert Road, adjacent to the box. An engineering siding goes behind Platform 2, which is probably OOU now, but I used to see the odd 07 tamper in there from time to time. I think this was part of the old goods yard.
Portillo made a visit in one of his Great Railway Journeys series. I remember a coal yard on the Up side, on the site of the current Sainsburys, which no doubt was rail served back in the black and white days.

Local at my parents is Codsall between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury. Hourly service with LM 170s between Birmingham and Shrewsbury with ATW running the service with 153/150/158/175 on a Sunday with reduced frequencies. Not much you can say about the place beyond the fact it's in decent nick, the down platform buildings are an award winning real ale pub and the remaining up platform building is kept in good order by the station preservationg group who open it on weekdays for commuters. Unstaffed since the 1960s, has a PIS/voice system that made regional headlines recently when it was set rather too loud by the contractors who installed it and kept the local worthies awake.
New local is Loughborough, I'm a daily commuter between Loughborough and Derby. Nice little independent shop that does good (and cheap) coffee/tea and has been in the same family for decades. Bit chaotic at the moment as the station has been rebuilt and recently lost it's Midland Railway footbridge in favour of a Network Rail modular standard design that's a bit of a carbuncle looks wise but is far better from a usage perspective, being much wider (room to cross people without colliding) and shortly to have lifts, which will lead to the closure of a barrow crossing on a 100 mph railway. Short platforms are a pain but again to be resolved very shortly.

Patricroft, a very historic station on the original Manchester - Liverpool line, next to the Queens Arms, the first railway pub. Was next to a large loco shed.
Now unmanned, and looking very sorry for itself. You can see the historic makings of booking halls and waiting rooms from half demolished walls. You can perceive the ex 4 line track, showing the importance of the line, now bus stop type shelters on each platform.
As someone with a sense of history, it just looks sad, very very sad.

My local station is Blackpool South.
It has one platform and single track to Kirkham Junc where it joins the line from North.
One service per hour to Colne, via Pleasure Beach, St Annes on Sea, Lytham and Preston etc.
Unmanned, bus type shelter, plenty of parking. Served mainly by Nodding Donkeys.

My local station is Steeton & Silsden which reopened in 1990.
The platforms are wooden & are staggered across the site where the level crossing was.
It is served by Skipton-Leeds/Bradford services which are mostly operated by 333's, with a handful of Leeds-Carlisle that pass in the peaktimes calling which are 158/153 worked.
When the station reopened, it was a mix of 142's, 144's & 156's and back then the S&C services were loco-hauled and some called, so it was possible to have trains from there with a 31 or a 47 on the front.

At uni, I generally use Southampton Central, although my house is probably nearer to the tiny Swaythling station. I've only used Swaythling once as it's no real use to get anywhere except on the "Figure 6" route. Southampton Central is decent enough, although not the most interesting architecture-wise. Aside from a one-off steam train I happened to see once, it's generally 158s, 159s, Voyagers, 444s, 450s and quite a lot of freight as well. Occasionally FGW have chucked 153s our way as well, particularly on Great Malvern runs...
Mine too for many years!,I've since moved but I still stray into the Queens (Top House) when I can.The station was manned until about 1975,when it had a wooden ticket office built at ground level next to the steps.If you walk to the end of the platform overlooking the pub,the remains of platforms 4&5 are still there,but as you say it's not a patch of its former self..
Mine is Heaton Chapel on the Manchester branch of the WCML, staffed early morning until around 1:30pm.
It's the stop after Stockport heading towards Manchester which is just another 2 stops to the north. There are 4 trains per hour to Manchester, 1 to Crewe, 1 to Alderley Edge, 1 to Hazel Grove and 1 to Buxton with a single early morning service to Stoke on Trent.
In terms of rolling stock, the Class 323 dominates most services with Buxton and Hazel Grove services being Class 150 and 156 but these also substitute on Crewe runs along with the infamous 142 Pacers. Unusually, services that call on the way to Hazel Grove don't call on the return to Preston, but instead the train from Stoke on Trent calls at xx45. For example, this gives 2 trains per hour to Cheadle Hulme but 3 returning to Heaton Chapel ( I use these services daily)
We used to be served at least 1x daily by Class 180's of Northern but that service was withdrawn with the type in December 2011.
I also forgot to mention that all services are operated by Northern Rail but you probably worked that out
Services that pass through without stopping between Manchester Piccadilly and Stockport include 3x hourly Virgin Trains to London Euston, 2x Crosscountry services to Bristol Temple Meads and Bournemouth, 1x Arriva Trains Wales service to Camarthen and Milford Haven on alternate hours, 1x First Transpennine Express services to Cleethorpes and 1x East Midlands Trains services to Norwich! Thats just about all you need to know about my local station.
I am however geographically closer to Reddish South station, famous as the least used station in Britain with 1 service per week in 1 direction down the Stockpot to Stalybridge Line! But that's another story

Don't forget the reasonably regular Class 377's either
Yes, good to see a bit of Southern - makes a change from SWT.

Such a shame when stations are left like this. If there are enough people wanting to make a difference, you could get in touch with ACORP www.acorp.uk.com and maybe you could get a project going to restore your station!

Now if after electrification they could reopen one of the Standedge bores, put in another loop...

I've now made a little jump inland, and am now closest to Canterbury West. Very pleasing station building, and has now gained the modern style of footbridge/lift quite recently. It's most recognisable by it's signalbox, a large structure that bridges the tracks to the country end of the station.
Two roads, up and down through the station, with a short OOU loop running behind P2. A tamper siding exists country end of P1, and another short loop for ECS sits just under and behind the signalbox. This is another old BR (S) station with a large gap between platforms, indicating long lifted through roads. Services are local SET to London Charing Cross, and to Ramsgate/Margate and SET HS1 domestic to STP and Margate.
There used to be an oil siding between St Dunstans Road L/C and P2, serving a small oil terminal (from the distant memories, run by Shell, I remember their Leyland tankers), but this is long gone. The siding itself is still kind of there, but well overgrown and in poor condition.

Already done my home station of Wolverhampton.
My nearest station to work is Birmingham Snow Hill but I rarely use it, except to buy tickets as they are generally better than at Birmingham New Street, where I almost always use the back entrance anyway.

Dover Priory is mine - 1.04 miles away according to Bing Maps. Kearsney not too far (1.22 miles).
Services to Charing Cross, St Pancras (HS1) and Cannon Street. Victoria also in the opposite direction. Also services ex-Charing Cross to Ramsgate (some via Minster).
Quite an unusual station building, is it unique?

At home, my local station is Romsey.
There's now a cafe in what used to be the station mess room. It's run by two cheeful middle aged ladies and a cup of tea from there is only £1 - cheaper than a small cup of tea for £1.24 (with a BITE card 20% discount) from the Pumpkin buffet on platform 4 at Southampton Central. In March the CIS screens were replaced with new ones, and as part of the DfT's 'access for all' station accessibility program, a path was laid from the bridleway passing underneath the station, across the site of the former Civil Engineers sidings, onto platform 2. Previously access for wheelchair-bound individuals to platform 2 was impossible since the only access route was via a subway. The station garden, having lain overgrown for about 15 years since the stationmaster's widow died, has now been turned into a car park and there's now a flight of steps from there up to the ticket office, which is open from 0650 to 1330 Monday to Saturday.
Unfortunately, the station building has seen much better days. Having been derelict for over 15 years, the windows were boarded up: the boards were painted to look like windows which is not convincing at all. There were plans in 2005 to turn the station building into a youth hostel, but they fell through.
As for train services, there's an hourly service to Portsmouth Harbour and to Cardiff Central seven days a week, usually worked by three car 158s. A three car 158 is usually enough, but on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings they can become very overcrowded. A couple of services a day continue to Brighton, formed of two car 158s or 150s. There are also a few services starting at Southampton Central which carry on to Worcester Foregate Street, Gloucester or Great Malvern, usually formed of 150s, 153s or the 158 on loan from SWT. Finally, there's the 'figure of 6' SWT service which departs every hour.

Here, my geographical local is Oldfield Park, but I will invariably use Bath Spa because it is easier to get to and has a far better service. At home, my local is Thorpe Bay, which I will usually use for all journeys except leaving Southend for Bath when I will tend to go for Southend Victoria (which is of course on a completely different route).

Thats interesting Nym, they are my local stations as well. Used Bolton this week to Manchester, very good service there and back, because of this didn't use any of the facilities. Although I am at a loss where they spent the £4,000,000 in improvements! Yes there is a new ticket hall, but spacer than before and NO SHOP. They have improved the canopies between the footbridge and where the trains actually stop, but I cannot see what else.
I would use Lostock more, IF they had platforms on the Wigan line, it is about a 5 minute drive from where I live and I go to Wigan & Southport often, but need to go into Bolton to catch the train there. Crappy expensive parking in Bolton and I really begrudge paying £2.50 single bus fare to the centre, I can walk it in about 20 minutes and often do.
Actually my true local station is Rumworth & Daubhill, on the old Bolton & Leigh line closed in 1952. If that was still open, about 2 minutes from where I live, life would be a lot easier, I could catch the train to work, down to Great Moor Street, 2 minutes from where I work now. Dreams sadly about when railways were KING.

Mine is Hampden Park, has a good level of service (2tph to London, 2tph to Hastings/Ore, 1tph to Brighton and 4tph to Eastbourne [often then back out to other stations]). Its often used for changing for stoppers from Hastings onto the London bound train and vice versa.
Station is quite run down, though Southern are putting work into making it look better by giving it a paint, installing a waiting room (which is rarely open) and now a toilet is being added. Always thought it could do with a new building myself as it is heavily used.
Level Crossing at the station is one of the busiest in the country i believe too.

Not sure if the building is unique but it certainly is different - very 1930s Art Deco in appearance!

That's classic Southern Railway Art Deco, Surbiton is a fine one, you can discern hints as well on the down side at Southampton Central, although it's been altered muchly over the years. There are some nice signalboxes of similar style as well.
I'm not a regular poster but my local station used to be Hollinwood on Oldham loop line but this will be changed to South Chadderton when the new Metrolink opens.
My actual local railway station is Moston Station on Caldervale Line which sees a variety of traction using it

Maghull on the Ormskirk to Liverpool Central Merseyrail line.
4 tph each way weekdays up to 7.30pm, then 2 tph evenings and Sundays.
It is a very busy commuting station and the huge car park is regularly full by 8.30am.
The ticket office on the Liverpool platform closed 6 Months ago and was replaced by an 'M to go' shop/ticket office on the Ormskirk platform, which was built within the original listed building
If the planned Maghull North ever gets built then that would become my local station

Ely is my local station which has very regular trains to and from London King's Cross, London Liverpool Street, Birmingham New Street, Cambridge, King's Lynn, Stansted Airport, Peterborough and Norwich. We also see a 2 hourly service to Ipswich calling at Bury St. Edmunds and the infamous Norwich to Liverpool Lime Street calls at Ely which changes direction!
We are served by Cross Country, First Capital Connect, East Midlands Trains and National Express East Anglia. Passenger trains calling are 158s, 170s, 317s, 365s and shiny new 379s!
The station has 3 long platforms, all easily enough space for 12 carriage sets. We also see various locomotives hauling freight (don't ask my which ones, I'm still a newbie!) as Ely happens to be on the Felixstowe to Nuneaton line so we can expect to start seeing many more in the next few years. We also see the occasional steam special which attracts a lot of local attention.
The station itself is quite pleasant and always kept clean. It is staffed with a ticket office and a train dispatcher and they are always really polite and helpful. The station has a place to buy coffee and it has a news agents. There is also a large Tesco close with a Costa concession. Parking is an issue at the station as the current car park is far to small and often fills up early in the morning.
