The Tudor style station building at Atherstone has been Grade II listed since 1980, and was designed by John William Livock. Market Harborough station was also designed by him, and is also a Grade II listed building.

Two station masters have served at both Driffield and Beverley. James T Batty and James Dennis were, between them, at the former between 1936 and 1944, although it's not known how long they were at Beverley after leaving Driffield.

The original station buildings (demolished in 1973) were built on the south side of Belper, just before the cutting, and designed by Francis Thompson (1808 – 1895) in an Italianate design. He was an English architect particularly well known for his railway work; among his works on the Chester and Holyhead Railway was the station at Flint, which is still in use.

The present station buildings at Tenby date from 1871 and were designed by Sir James Weeks Szlumper JP DL (1834 – 1926) and built in Bath stone. He was also responsible for the station at Pembroke Dock.

Furze Platt is also the first station on a branch line where there is a reversal en route.

Polesworth has also had its footbridge condemned (this really shouldn't be able to be a connection)

Polesworth is also a station on the Trent Valley Line which does not have access gates.

Do the rules permit having the same station twice in a row?

Nothing to say either way :)

Fair enough!....didn't have time to go back and check them at the time!
I believe that I did make a mistake, so I'll change this to Rugeley Trent Valley is also a station on the Trent Valley Line which does not have access gates.
