Wymondham, another station in <abbr title="National Express East Anglia">NXEA</abbr>'s Rural Stations Restaffing Initiative.

North Walsham - the only station in the scheme (Attleborough and Wymondham the only other two involved?) to have been staffed and since unstaffed...

 

[Ivo]

Edenbridge: Like North Walsham before the Beeching era, it is an unusually small settlement to have more than one line present.

 

[W-on-Sea]

Leuchars - a couple of miles away from a Bridge over the (or a) River Eden

 

[Mojo]

Lewes, when pronounced also sounds like a male name

 

[me123]

Meadowhall

Platforms are arranged in a "V" shape

 

[Mojo]

Shepherds Bush (WLL), another station built which serves a shopping centre

 

[W-on-Sea]

Ford - Another US President.

 

[12CSVT]

Cosham - another West Coastway station close to a triangular junction

 

[SteamontheMet]

Kew Bridge - Also Located on a Triangular Junction.

 

[me123]

Newton (Lanarkshire)

On a junction, but one set of lines bypasses the station.

Bethnal Green (?) Same Reason.

 

[MCR247]

High Barnet - also a place with a tube station in the town/whatever, but not connected to the mainline station

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Hairmyres - well, a nickname for a hairstyle / head of hair is a "barnet", so...:roll:

 

[W-on-Sea]

Sadly, it's not there anymore, but there used to be a barbers'/hairdressers'/hair salon (forget which exactly) called "High Barnet" in the entrance of this station:

Harrow-on-the-Hill

 

[Zoe]

Windsor & Eton Central, it serves another town with a famous public school.

 

[Ivo]

Colchester Town: Another "more central" station to have only one platform in use.

 

[me123]

Coatbridge Central

The most central station in the town is in fact the least important.

 

[OMGitsDAVE]

Stockton.
From your 'important' perspective, it used to be very important with the Stockton & Darlington railway, now just an hourly service runs.

 

[NXEA!]

Lostock Hall; its got 'Stock' in its name.

 

[me123]

Largs

Bus services are now far better than rail services at both stations.

 

[Waddon]

Tattenham Corner
Both had a train crash through the buffers and demolish part of the station

 

[Ivo]

Chingford: Another end-of-branch London Zones station.

 

[Zoe]

Chingford: Another end-of-branch London Zones station.

Shenfield, another terminus for a service operated by 315s.

 

[Broken Viking]

London Victoria - Also sees 315s terminating there! (I think!)

London Victoria - Also sees 315s terminating there! (I think!)

Not unless there has been some overhead electrification. Victoria is void and we are still at Shenfield.

 

[Oswyntail]

Shenfield, another terminus for a service operated by 315s.

Hadfield - another rural halt.

 

[Ivo]

Shenfield isn't exactly what I would call a "rural halt". It is a suburban station in the last town on the A12 before the M25 (Brentwood), and is twice as busy as the "central" station. It also has five platforms and 6tph Metro services plus at least 5tph non-Metro services. Not to mention its high interchange levels.

I'm of the opinion that Shenfield is still the base station. However, to simplify things, I shall say Sheffield, because it also has "field" in its name.

 

[12CSVT]

Hadley Wood - has tunnels either side of the station

 

[Broken Viking]

Bangor (Gwynedd) - Ditto.

(And excuse my earlier error regarding the 315s...I somehow seem to keep getting my FCC and Southern rolling stock mixed-up! Probably something to do with the FCC runs through Wimbledon... )

 

[W-on-Sea]

Bangor (Gwynedd) - Ditto.

Not to worry, but 315s are strictly NXEA only, unless I am mistaken... (FCC do have some looky-likey 313s though).

Anyway, onto another place that has (had) a branch of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth
