Station association

[ValleyLines142]

Great Cotes also lies on the Barton Line.

 

[TheJRB]

Portchester also opened in 1848 and has two platforms too.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Andover and Portchester were stations operated by the London and South Western Railway and currently managed by South West Trains

 

[Temple Meads]

Honiton also suffers from an overdose of Class 159's.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Exeter Central and Honiton were both stations opened by the London and South Western Railway.

 

[Ivo]

Salisbury also sees a mix of FGW and SWT services.

Honiton also suffers from an overdose of Class 159's.

How is 2tph an overdose?

 

[Temple Meads]

How is 2tph an overdose?

I was referring to the fact that Honiton (in the main) only sees 159's

For an association, Westbury also sees direct services from Exeter St. Davids and Bristol Temple Meads.

 

[ValleyLines142]

St Erth is another station with three platforms managed by First Great Western.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hayle and St Erth were stations that were opened by the West Cornwall Railway.

 

[Robinson]

Hale shares its pronunciation with Hayle (unless I've got that very wrong...)

 

[ValleyLines142]

Yes, that's correct Robinson

Altrincham also lies on the Mid-Cheshire Line and provides an interchange with the Metrolink (I think a few bus services call there too).

 

[Robinson]

If the Metrolink interchange bit was intended as part of the association, it doesn't work as the Metrolink doesn't serve Hale...

 

[ValleyLines142]

If the Metrolink interchange bit was intended as part of the association, it doesn't work as the Metrolink doesn't serve Hale...

No, the fact that Altrincham lies on the Mid-Cheshire Line is is the association, I'm just adding on an extra that its on the Metrolink network ;D

 

[Ivo]

Manchester Victoria also has a Metrolink service.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

......as does Manchester Piccadilly

 

[Class172]

The Hawthorns is another NR/metro interchange.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Digby and Sowton and The Hawthorns are stations that were opened in 1995.

 

[Temple Meads]

Kings Nympton is also a single platform station used by FGW Class 143's.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

This has been one of the more difficult ones....

Umberleigh and Kings Nympton are stations that were opened by the North Devon Railway in 1854.

 

[Temple Meads]

I'm not surprised Paul, I know Kings Nympton a lot better than most people, as I've got friends who own the former station house, anyway to an association:

Chetnole is also a request stop.

 

[Ivo]

Whimple also sees the odd unexpected HST pass through (Chetnole is for cover or extra capacity, while Whimple is on diversion).

 

[Class172]

Droitwich Spais also on a diversionary route for HSTs.

 

[Robinson]

Leamington Spa also sees services to all 3 of the main Birmingham stations.

 

[Ivo]

Tunbridge Wells is also missing the town's formal title.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Prestbury and Tunbridge Wells both have a tunnel not far from their stations.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Buckshaw Parkway is also a station with two platforms managed by Northern Rail, also with an hourly service to Manchester Piccadilly.

 

[Ivo]

Southend Airport was also opened in 2011.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The year 2011 saw full passenger station facilities being opened at Caldercruix (after a gap of 55 years) and at Buckshaw Parkway (on the site of a station built to serve a military complex).

 

[ValleyLines142]

Not sure whether we're going with Southend Airport or Caldercruix, so I'll go for both:

Southend Airport: Manchester Airport also provides a direct link to an airport.
Caldercruix: Coatbridge Sunnyside is another station with two platforms managed and served by ScotRail.

Two postings were made simultaneously at such an unearthly hour of a Sunday morning .. :roll:
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

Because Ivo was the quicker of the two........and DanTrainMan185 was kind enough to give answers to both those postings, I will reply with....

Truro and Manchester Airport are three-platform stations
