    Ketton Somersault Signal

    Is the new colour-light signal also on the "wrong" side like the semaphore was?

    Stations with hourly or better frequencies and seldom any passengers (Trivia)

    193,000 passengers per annum = about 618 per day. So not "virtually unused" at all.

    Expanded stations

    Bromsgrove actually saw a new 4-platform station built on a new site, replacing the old one.

    Unmanned stations on NR with a passenger operated lift.

    What does the yellow sign here mean?

    As we're discussing fixed distants, are there any colour-light fixed distants on the network or they all "facsimile semaphores"?

    Barrow Crossings

    You're not referring to Roche here, are you? Somewhere else?

    Trivia: Biggest date gap between openings of two stations with a direct service

    I believe the new East Linton is on a completely different site from the old one.

    Hereford Platform 4?

    There is only one siding parallel to platform 1 and I have never noticed anything using it.

    Anomalous station names

    Wikipedia (usual caution applies) says that Three Bridges already existed as a hamlet when the railway arrived. It was named after three bridges over local streams.

    New Station calendar

    You mean East Linton, I think.

    Derby Platform 7 - Why isn't it used? (and other unused platforms)

    Realtime Trains shows a couple of early starts from Northampton platform 5.

    What’s your least favourite station in Hampshire to visit?

    Ditto Pokesdown.

    Trivia: Platforms where you can only alight or only board.

    Hereford platform 4 can only be used to depart. There is no crossover to allow trains to access it directly. I don't think there are any services using it in the current timetable.

    Stations that had a very long period of time between closing and reopening.

    1967 - 2017 according to Wikipedia.

    Double Slips

    Your Reading example looks like a scissors crossing, not a slip.
