Until 9 December 2006, Silverlink Metro trains used to travel to North Woolwich, calling at Stratford, West Ham, Canning Town, Custom House and Silvertown along the way.

Coventry is also a station where Cross-Country services sometimes changed loco in the 1980s.

Kings Langley is also a four-platform station originally opened by the London and Birmingham Railway.

Tilehurst is also a station served only by local services, which is the first station 'down line' from the first major IC stop out of London (admittedly Watford doesn't get as many as it did in the past).

The platforms at Mirfield have an unusual configuration. Platforms 1 and 2 form an island platform on the western side of the bridge over Station Road/Hopton New Road. Trains from Platform 1 go to Leeds and Wakefield Westgate (eastbound); Platform 2 is rarely used for normal scheduled services but is passed by non-stopping westbound trains to Huddersfield. Platform 3 is a side platform on the eastern side of the bridge; trains are towards Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford Interchange and Brighouse (westbound).

Hoveton & Wroxham also has a restaurant on one of its platforms.

The station goods yard at North Walsham is the last operational freight location on the Bittern Line, as GB Railfreight dispatches regular bulk trainloads of petrochemicals (gas condensate piped in from various offshore North Sea gas fields) from here to Harwich International.
