Upper Warlingham. I obviously don't need to explain that one.

Thorne South - also in a town (yes I know Tyndrum is a village) served by two stations on different lines which head towards the same place

(ie Tyndrum Upper and Lower - Crianlarich / Glasgow
Thorne North and South - Doncaster)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wigan Wallgate serves an area with coal mining traditions, as does Thorne South.

Sorry - it's probably me, but how do you get from Hebden Bridge to Upper Warlingham?

Anyway - Wigan Wallgate:-
Rochdale

Another town which used to be served by L & Y expresses on the Liverpool Exchange - Leeds/York main line.

Anyway - Wigan Wallgate:-
Rochdale

Bury has a 1st division football team (AT LAST) and is also one of the 10 constituant bodies that make up Greater Manchester......similar to Rochdale

The answer to the question at the top of your entry is:-
TRAIN-----Hebden Bridge to Leeds
TRAIN-----Leeds to London Kings Cross
L.U.L------London Kings Cross to London Victoria
TRAIN-----London VIctoria to Upper Warlingham

Seriously, I think that two answers had been posted at the same time.

Totnes, another town with 2 stations, one of which being on a preserved line (nowt in rules about Metrolink stations being included)

Totnes, another town with 2 stations, one of which being on a preserved line (nowt in rules about Metrolink stations being included)

Skipton has a castle, as does Totnes

With reference to your note about Metrolink stations, there was nothing in Mojo's first posting about only HEAVY RAIL stations being named....some contributors in the past have included London Underground stations, so as the rules did NOT say NO light rail stations, I used BURY as an example, to test out the water!!.....many HEAVY RAIL stations were converted to LIGHT RAIL as part of the Manchester Metrolink system being first established

 

[Anon Mouse]

Doncaster, another station where 321's can be seen in Yorkshire

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Scunthorpe is another station like Doncaster that is on the First TPE South route from Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes.

 

[Oswyntail]

Arsenal - another station some software will filter out

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Charlton is another station like Arsenal that reflects the name of a London football team.

P.S......I noted your reservation about the use of Arsenal

 

[Anon Mouse]

South Bermondsey, another ststion in London next to a Football Ground (Millwall)

 

[Buttsy]

Balham - it is the gateway to the 'south'.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chester is mentioned in the Domesday Book, as is Balham.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Chester-le-Street, also has Chester in the name!

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Burscough Bridge - has also been restaffed since its booking office was closed.

Skipton has a castle, as does Totnes

With reference to your note about Metrolink stations, there was nothing in Mojo's first posting about only HEAVY RAIL stations being named....some contributors in the past have included London Underground stations

As far as I know, LUL is heavy rail...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whitby shares a Viking heritage with Burscough Bridge ( BURH-SKOGR meaning FOREST IN THE WOOD).

(I won't have much strength left in my legs if I keep being STOOD corrected !!)

 

[Welshman]

Bitterne

Whitby - Bram Stoker - Dracula - fangs

 

[Eagle]

A bittern is a type of heron

Martins Heron

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Martin Mill shares part of its name with Martin's Heron (note the apostrophe!...it is spelt with an apostrophe in both the index and on the map in the newly published 12th edition Rail Atlas (Great Britain and Ireland))

 

[MidnightFlyer]

It isn't spelt with an apostrophe though (and I've checked NRE, SWT and Wikipedia).

Hersham - also has a half-hourly service to London Waterloo.

 

[Buttsy]

Walton - Walton & Hersham being a non-league football team of yesteryear

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sandhills is another Merseyrail station, like Walton.

 

[Welshman]

Christchurch

for Sandhills Holiday Park

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Durham has a cathedral, as does Christchurch.

 

[LE Greys]

Welwyn North is another ECML station very near a double-track viaduct
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
For those above, a Martin is also a bird and the name may relate to that rather than someone called Martin

 

[Eagle]

Welwyn North is in the cone of King's Cross, and I know I've just started another apostrophe catastrophe . I'm going by the station signage both times.

 

[Welshman]

Kings Lynn

which according to the Ordnance Survey and Google maps does have an apostrophe, but according to Network Rail doesn't.
Confusing, isn't it?
