Six of the nine letters in Penistone appear in Preston, and in the correct order. (One could then do N+I-E=R for the last letter, which would be out of place in Preston; in Penistone however, the extra three are still in the right place when the sum is written out.)

York is also a rail transport hub on a national north-south rail line.

 

[LE Greys]

Bristol Temple Meads also has a trainshed with a major curve

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

London Paddington also was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel

 

[Ivo]

Liverpool South Parkway is another rare example of a station where AC, DC and diesel trains all operate.

Of course, the difference is that, unlike at Paddington, all three types of train run under NR jurisdiction.

 

[Welshman]

So, too, is London Euston

 

[LE Greys]

Banbury also had the Modernist treatment

 

[12CSVT]

Shrewsbury has both semaphore and colour light signals

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hough Green is also a Grade II listed railway station.

 

[Welshman]

Bramley
when open [and now re-opened], was also at the junction for a loop [Pudsey loop]

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Beccles is also a station that was opened in 1854 that currently has a DfT category rating of F1

 

[Ivo]

Bere Alston is another station that has at least one disused platform.

...as do probably 50% of other stations nationwide :roll:

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I am not sure if this one will be allowed, but I will see how it goes, as we have had a thread about the matter on this forum...

Tavistock is planned to be reconnected by rail to Bere Alston as part the agreement of the West Devon Borough Council and the property developers, Kilbride Group.

I guess it doesn't matter either way now. Welshman's response matches both Bere Alston and Tavistock.

Anyhow, Falmouth Town is another FGW branch line station to have two words in its name.

Credition

another station on the L & SW Railway

Looe

on another Cornish Branch

[sorry, Ivo, I changed my response of Bere Ferrers when I realised my mistake]

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Falmouth Docks is also a single platform Cornish branch line teminal station

 

[Ivo]

We have completely lost track here from the looks of things. From what I can tell, Bere Alston was definitely valid, but thereafter nothing can be confirmed (in the case of Falmouth Town because it would be consecutive turns on my part) so I guess we jump straight from there to Falmouth Docks?

And speaking of Falmouth Docks, Harwich Town is another terminus in a fairly small town to have a Town station, a maritime station, and one other station with a name that does not bear the main settlement's name.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Heysham Port is also a single platform station serving a nautical environment.

 

[Welshman]

Heysham [then Harbour] was linked to Lancaster [Green Ayre & Castle], by the Midland Railway's experimental overhead electrification scheme in 1908.

[was this the only line to go from steam operation, to electricity, and then back to steam?]

 

[Ivo]

Quite probably, unless any heritage operations did this (which probably don't count anyway)...

Northampton also formerly had the suffix "Castle".

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Shrewsbury is also a five platform station.

 

[Welshman]

Chester

also an ATW hub

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Carlisle is also a Grade II listed railway station.

 

[Robinson]

Nottingham station also has a suffix that is not in general use nowadays.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Derby is also an EMT managed six-platform station.

 

[LE Greys]

Doncaster also has/had a major works right next door

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Crewe is also a major rail hub on a north-south main line.

 

[Robinson]

Cardiff Central also has 3 different routes leading from each end of the station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

London Cannon Street is also a seven-platform station with a DfT category rating of "A".
