Station association

[ValleyLines142]

Liverpool Lime Street also has a fruit in it's name.

No but on a serious note, Battersea Park is a station with 4 platforms in zone 2, like Limehouse.

Battersea Park has 5 platforms

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

London Bridge and Battersea Park were served by trains run by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway.

 

[Robinson]

Tonbridge is rather smaller than London Bridge, but it also has Southeastern through services and Southern terminating services.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ramsgate and Tonbridge are four platform stations ( well, both of them had four platforms earlier this year when I visited both places in February...unless matters have changed since then) and are both managed by Southeastern.

If Battersea Park was an invalid move then why have we carried on?

If Battersea Park was an invalid move then why have we carried on?

Let us look back on the matter:-

# 3990 (Robinson) made a posting answer of Limehouse

# 3991 (DanTrainMan185) then made an association with Liverpool Lime Street, but then added a "comment note" also of Battersea Park with another connection on the same posting.

# 3992 (MattE2010) then correctly made a query against the second entry made by (DanTrainMan185), but this was not the actual connection that was made, but the first one of Liverpool Lime Street should have been the one to follow.

Therefore, for the sake of good order, I shall now say:-

Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street are both Network Rail managed stations.

 

[Ivo]

Piccadilly was formerly known as London Road (a bit awkward to hear a train from London terminating at London road, but anyway). A station with London Road in its name still exists in Brighton.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Norwood Junction and Brighton were stations served by the London and Brighton Railway.

 

[Ivo]

My reference was to London Road (Brighton)

EDIT: Post #4,000 in this thread! That's two quiz thread milestones I've claimed recently

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

My reference was to London Road (Brighton)

In which case.....

Collington and London Road (Brighton) are two platform stations on the East Coastway line that are managed by Southern.

 

[12CSVT]

Shelford is another station where Turbostars' pass through every hour and 'Electrostars' call

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Enfield Lock and Shelford are both managed by NXEA

 

[Eagle]

Enfield Lock is in London Zone 6, as is Whyteleafe South.

 

[Ivo]

Even though it is not advertised as a connection by NRE (preferring Whyteleafe), Whyteleafe South is definitely within walking range of Upper Warlingham. I should know - I've done it (with several others on here as well, for the South London Challenge back in May)!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hurst Green and Upper Warlingham are Oxted Line stations managed by Southern

 

[12CSVT]

Abercynon - two branch lines converge

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Troed-y-rhiw and Abercynon were stations of the Taff Vale Railway that are on the Merthyr Line.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Both have direct connections to Cardiff Central, the largest and busiest station in Wales.

 

[Robinson]

Manchester Victoria is another commuter hub whose rail service is currently diesel-only but is expected to soon see electrification.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Very good Robinson! (sorry that sounded patronising! :P). Back to Cardiff, they're being electrified too!

Huddersfield is a station with six platforms, like Victoria, and all diesels!

 

[Robinson]

Very good Robinson! (sorry that sounded patronising! :P). Back to Cardiff, they're being electrified too!

The point about electrification was meant to be part of the connection made!

Deansgate is also served by Pacers, Sprinters and 185s.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Hehe I know, sorry!

As is Blackpool North, which is directly linked to Deansgate. (I love Blackpool)

 

[Class172]

Blackpool North and Garforth are served by FTPE and Northern.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Cross Gates and Garforth were stations served by the Leeds and Selby Railway.

 

[Ivo]

Barking is also very close to an indoor shopping centre (Vicarage Field).

 

[Class172]

Both Barking and West Ruislip form an interchange with terminating LU services.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

High Wycombe and West Ruislip stations were served by services operated by the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway.

 

[Class172]

Blakedown is also served by Chiltern Railways.

 

[blackettstreet]

Tring is another station that's had platforms lengthened in the past 20 years
