Station association

[EbbwJunction1]

As a local to the line I can confirm both stations are in fact fully accessible step-free from street to platform albeit changes of platform need to be undertaken at street level.

Ah, thanks - it's not too clear on the National Rail station information section for both, hence my mistake!

Anyway .... moving on, The Lakes station was also opened in 1935.

Avoncliff is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened by the Great Western Railway.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

St James Park station was also opened in 1906.

Topsham is also a station with the lowest DfT category rating of F2 that was opened by the London and South Western Railway.

Sir William Tite also designed the station buildings of Chiswick.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Aintree is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1849.

 

[A Challenge]

Epsom Downs is another station which has a significant amount of its use related to its nearby large racecourse.

Hope this is sufficiently rail-related

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Epsom Downs is near Tattenham Corner station which is on the Tattenham Corner Line; both are served by Southern, and both are in London Travelcard Zone 6.

 

[island]

Most trains to Tattenham Corner are the rear portion of a train dividing at Purley; the other portion goes to Caterham.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

There are services between Caterham and London Bridge; one of the intermediate stations is Whyteleafe South.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Caterham was also opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1856.

Caterham was also opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1856.

Don't worry ... we've all been there!

As I was the last poster with Whyteleafe South, someone else needs to make the next post, I think?

 

[Springs Branch]

Until 1956, Whyteleafe South station was named Warlingham.
Another station which has undergone total re-naming (twice) in its history started as Mildenhall Road, then became Burnt Fen and around 1904 became Shippea Hill.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Grantham was also the scene of a rail accident in 1906.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Mr Harold Gardner was the Station Master at Grantham between 1938 and 1943, before moving to be Station Master at London Marylebone.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

London Charing Cross is also a six-platform station with the highest DfT category rating of "A".

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Services on the Mid-Kent Line (also known as the Hayes Line) commence at either Charing Cross via Waterloo East or Cannon Street. Catford Bridge is one of the stations on the line.

 

[island]

Catford Bridge has one of the shortest Oyster out of station interchanges on the network, with the very nearby Catford.

Catford is situated on a "loop line" which diverges from the Chatham main line and then later rejoins it. Weston-super-Mare is situated on a similar, but shorter, loop line, this time off part of the Great Western Mainline.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Worle is also a station on the loop line off the mail line between Bristol and Exeter; it is served by many of the trains that terminate at Weston-super-Mare.

 

[py_megapixel]

The footbridge at Worle is of a very similar design to the one at Filton Abbey Wood.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Syon Lane is also a DfT Category F1 station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Squires Gate was also opened in 1931.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Squires Gate station was host to 12 LMS Caravans (Camping Coaches) in 1937 and 1938, followed by 17 in 1939. Nethertown on the Cumbrian Coast Line was host to six LMS Caravans (Camping Coaches) from 1937 to 1939.

Snaith is another single-platform station from which the remains of another, now unused, platform, are visible.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hensall was also opened by the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railway in 1848 and was served by services of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Hensall station featured on an episode of the BBC documentary series Great British Railway Journeys in 2015, which saw presenter Michael Portillo travel on the daily parliamentary train from Knottingley to Goole and alight there.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bangor was also once served by a now-closed branch line.
