[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hillside is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1926.

 

[Purple Train]

Hillside is located in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. After its opening in 1926, the next currently-open station in the Metropolitan Borough to be built was Old Roan in 1936.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Berney Arms station (and the settlement surrounding it) also takes it's name from a public house, although this is currently closed.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Altnabreac is also situated a long distance away from the nearest settlement it purports to serve.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Muir of Ord station also has a help point and bike racks.

 

[Springs Branch]

The 3-letter code for Muir of Ord (MOO) uses the initial letters of the station's three words.

Another station following a similar pattern is BOA = Bradford-On-Avon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Disley is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1857.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Both Yeovil Pen Mill and Disley stations have staff help available with a ramp for access to trains.

 

[M-Train]

Yeovil Pen Mill, though a double-track station, is not served by any double-track lines. As far as NR are concerned, however, the reverse is true of Greenford: it has only one bay platform for NR, but the Greenford branch is double-track.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Castle Bar Park is also a station on the Greenford NR branch line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Travellers can use Oyster Pay as You Go facilities at both Castle Bar Park and Drayton Green stations.

 

[Purple Train]

Drayton Green is situated at one "corner" of a triangular junction: immediately on one of the other corners is West Ealing.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Purley was also the scene of a rail accident in 1989.

 

[M-Train]

At London Paddington, coupling of units in normal usage is also scheduled: the Greenford branch unit couples with another 2-car from Reading, to form a 0030 departure.

 

[Springs Branch]

Paddington is a member of the London Terminals station group for fare-setting purposes.

Amongst the other 17 members of this fare group (despite having no terminating trains) is Vauxhall.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

London Waterloo was also opened by the London and South Western Railway in 1848.

 

[Springs Branch]

London Waterloo is well-known for having the largest number of National Rail platforms of any single station in England.

The station with the most individually-numbered platforms in Scotland is Edinburgh.

 

[M-Train]

Elmers End is another station built to serve a line which is now truncated somewhat.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Aberystwyth is also a DfT category "D" station that was opened in 1864.

 

[M-Train]

Woolwich is another station of the national network where signalling other than the usual TPWS/AWS-based system is required.

 

[Purple Train]

Despite being on the Elizabeth Line, Woolwich does not share a station complex with any other lines - the nearest interchange involves walking to Woolwich Arsenal. The same situation is present at Canary Wharf - its interchanges with the DLR and Jubilee Line are out-of-station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Barking Riverside was also opened in 2022.

 

[M-Train]

Harrow-on-the-Hill is another station owned entirely by TfL, including its track.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stockport is also a six-platform station.

 

[Purple Train]

Haymarket also has a platform 0.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Linlithgow was also opened by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway in 1842,

 

[M-Train]

Reading is another station where long-distance trains approaching a capital within the UK from the west, will often last call before reaching that capital terminus.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Newport South Wales is also a station with public access on both sides of it.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chepstow was also opened by the South Wales Railway in 1850.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Neither Chepstow or Caldicot stations have ticket gates.
