When the station reopened on 7th May 1973, it was given the name Alfreton and Mansfield Parkway, as the nearby town of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire did not have a passenger service of its own, making it at the time one of the largest towns in Britain without such a service. Following the reopening of the Robin Hood Line in 1995, Mansfield regained its own service and renovated station, so Alfreton station reverted to its original name.

Harlesden is a London Underground station adjacent to a Mainline, as is Neasden, adjacent to the Chiltern Mainline

Note that you should only reply with a station on the main BR network
(e.g. not Underground or Preserved Railway) that is still open.
Perhaps the bold extract from the rules would be a helpful reference at this juncture, with Neasden being an Underground station?

According to ORR statistics for 2019/20, there were around 1.447 million entries & exits at both Enfield Chase and Harlesden.
The West London Orbital Railway is a proposed extension to the London Overground network that would make use of the existing Dudding Hill Line, North London Line and the Hounslow Loop. If given approval, it should be completed by the 2020s, and will run between Hounslow and West Hampstead or Hendon.

Culham is another station that was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1844.
When originally opened, Culham was named Abingdon Road (using that traditional railway euphemism "X Road Station = A few miles from X, but you could walk it if you're fit")
A similar example was the former Magdalen Road station, renamed to today's Watlington.
