Holyhead - Both Welsh Terminus Stations (I think?)

 

[Oswyntail]

Shenfield isn't exactly what I would call a "rural halt". ....
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.

Sorry, missed off the sarcasm smiley - I too was alluding to the "field" bit of the name. Obviously too subtle

Crewe - Another one of RL Stepenson's major mainline stations, and another major railway locatiojn back in the good old days of BR!

 

[me123]

I'll resist the temptation to go with Coatbridge Central again (once dubbed "the Crewe of the North") and will instead go with:

Ely

According to Michael Portillo, Ely was once dubbed "The Crewe of the Fens" or "The Crewe of the East" or something similar.

[Oswyntail]

Can I get away with Cannon St because it's closest to the "Black Horse" that is Lloyds of London?

I think that is void as the Black Horse has nothing to do with Lloyds of London.

Haydon's Road, another station close to a football club which has now relocated.

Sorry, I posted before I realized Cannon Street was likely to be void.

Barnt Green - at the other end of the Lickey Incline. cue for another station where the branch line is electrified and the main line beyond the station isn't - I cant think of anywhere else off the top of my head.

Maybe Hayes & Harlington; the branch to Heathrow is electrified whereas the GWML isn't?
