All National Rail services between Ally Pally and London Terminals calls at Finsbury Park

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brighton is also a station with eight National Rail platforms.

 

[Springs Branch]

Haywards Heath is also served by Gatwick Express-branded trains.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Darlington is also a station with the high DfT category rating of "B" that was opened in 1841.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Matthew William Seymour was the station master at Darlington between 1907 and 1912, having held the same post at Bishop Auckland between 1895 and 1907.

 

[RDP]

Bishop Auckland is at the end of a line which used to continue further so is Paisley Canal.

 

[D6130]

Auchinleck is another station that was closed by BR and later reopened by ScotRail with funding from Strathclyde Regional Council.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

There are no toilets at both Auchinleck or Sanquhar stations.

 

[RDP]

Sanquhar is four station from Carlisle on the G&SW line Appleby is four stations from Carlisle on the S&C.

 

[D6130]

Appleby station was formerly one of two stations in the town and was known as Appleby West. The next station up the line, Kirkby Stephen, was also one of two stations serving its town and was formerly known as Kirkby Stephen West.

Mansfield also was built to the design the Midland Railway architect John Holloway Sanders

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Both Mansfield and Newstead stations have a car park where wheelchair users can use the car park equipment unaided.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kirkwood was also opened by British Rail in 1993.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Sunday services from and to Kirkwood previously only ran for the month prior to Christmas and were extended to Shotts. However, since the December 2014 timetable change, they now run throughout the year. An hourly service now runs in each direction, to Motherwell and Balloch via Glasgow Central Low Level.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

How Wood is also a single-platform station that was opened by British Rail in 1988.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Restoration of the crossing loop at Bricket Wood, which is also on the Abby Line is being considered by the local authorities and Network Rail, which would facilitate trains running every 30 minutes.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wrenbury is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened in 1858.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Neither Wrenbury or nor the nearby station at Prees have any facilities for selling tickets, so they must be bought in advance or on the trains.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whitchurch (Shropshire) was also opened by the Crewe and Shrewsbury Railway in 1858.

 

[Springs Branch]

There are three stations on the National Rail network named Whitchurch.
In terms of usage, Whitchurch (Shropshire) is the middle of the three, at 94,000 entries & exits in 2021/22.
The busiest of the three Whitchurchs (more than 124,000 entries & exits, largely driven by having more season ticket users) is Whitchurch (Hampshire).

 

[RDP]

Whitchurch (Hants.) is the second station from Basingstoke on the line to Salisbury. Winchester is the second station on the line to Southampton.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Eastleigh was also opened by the London and South Western Railway in 1839.

 

[M-Train]

Trains at Eastleigh may face opposite directions but still be heading for Waterloo; the same is true of Teddington.

 

[Springs Branch]

Hatch End is also in TfL Fare Zone 6.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Widnes is also a Grade II listed railway station.

……and so is Sandwich

 

[RDP]

Sandwich is next to a level crossing so is Chartham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible

Perhaps an opportune time to show the above extract from the rules of this quiz.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sandwich is next to a level crossing so is Chartham.

Silecroft is also a station that was opened in 1850 and currently the holder of the lowest DfT category rating of F2.

 

[M-Train]

Hackney Wick is another station whose line was associated with window bars, but with the relevant tight spots being actually further along the line.
