[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bicester Village station was also opened in 2015.

OBSERVATION.....That station was also previously opened after a closure period in 1987. The original station was opened by the Buckinghamshire Railway as far back as 1850.

Yalding is also a DfT category F1 railway station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

OBSERVATION.....That station was also previously opened after a closure period in 1987. The original station was opened by the Buckinghamshire Railway as far back as 1850.

Ah, point taken ... I hadn't realised that it wasn't a new station.

Anyway, moving on from Yalding:
A camping coach was positioned here by the Southern Region from 1962 to 1967. From 1963 onwards it was a Pullman camping coach, which became available as the Kent coast lines were electrified. Most of them went to existing sites, although some went to new sites, such as Birchington-on-Sea on the Chatham Main Line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Arundel is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1863.

 

[Springs Branch]

ORR statistics suggest Arundel saw 105,824 entries & exits by season ticket holders in the 2019/20 analysis period.
This is essentially the same as the 105,834 season ticket holders using Mills Hill (Manchester).

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Mills Hill station has a car park, but the nearby station at Castleton does not.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Church Stretton currently also occupies a station site that was built to replace the original station on the other side of a highway.

Church Stretton is the highest railway station in its county of Shropshire.
The highest railway station on the National Rail network in England is Dent.

[EbbwJunction1]

Bayford is also a DfT Category F2 station.

Conwy station was also opened in 1848.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hopefully not too similar to ones we've done before. I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible

Perhaps an opportune time to show the above extract from the rules of this quiz
