If you happen to be in Norwich, it is very easy to end up on the XX57 for Liverpool Lime Street instead of the XY00 for London Liverpool Street

Bolton is another interchange with a TFGM bus station, and also a very important station to me.

Edenbridge, another electrified station, also has lower passenger figures than another station in the same settlement which is not electrified.

Barnham is another station where separate portions of trains which have divided earlier in their journey both call separately (and vice versa in the other direction).

One day, Mr Barnham went to see his good friend nicknamed Muir of Ord. Mr Barnham and his friend got on very well with each other, but they did have a slight difficulty in communication - because they were only able to make certain animal noises.

Mr Barnham could only say "BAA". His friend could only say "MOO".

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Holyhead was used as an emergency rolling stock point when Anglesey was cut off from the national rail network by the Britannia Bridge fire in 1970...similar to the occurrence in 1989 when the bridge near to Muir of Ord was washed away by the flood causing Muir of Ord to become the temporary depot to service services on the lines to the north.

Howdy Death. Has been a while :)

Sheerness-on-Sea is another island station with coastal water beyond one end of the station.

Holyhead would have been the obvious choice for this, but that's just been! :|

While bascially correct Paul, I believe it was a bridge in Inverness rather than near Muir Of Ord that got washed away... :D (apologies for the pedantry...)

Lowestoft is also a terminal station on a line with a moveable bridge. (Lifting bridge at Swale & swing bridge at Reedham).

Apologies for pedantry, but there's also a swing bridge at Somerleyton on the Norwich to Lowestoft Wherry line

Lowestoft is another former Norfolk Railway station that was opened in 1847.

You seem to have taken Somerleyton as an answer, which it wasn't intended to be. It was intended as me being picky.

Huddersfield has direct trains to what I believe are the three largest Yorkshire settlements. The same can be said for Birchwood.
