I was unaware that the Suffolk station of Brampton that was opened in 1854 by the East Suffolk Railway also had a long-closed branch line serving it,

Just checked my copy of the Ian Allan British Railways Pregrouping Atlas & Gazetteer....and there was definitely no branch line from Brampton (Suffolk). Moving swiftly on:

All - or should I say both? - scheduled trains that serve Chathill also stop at Acklington.

Acklington is six stations north of Newcastle on the ECML. Six stations south is York.

Stockton station was also built by the North Eastern Railway.

Denby Dale is another DfT category F1 station managed by Northern.

Silkstone Common station is also part of the Penistone Line Partnership.

Kildale is also a single platform station managed by Northern

Cancellations aside, Kildale currently sees passenger calls by four trains in each direction on weekdays.

Four trains per day in each direction also stop at Plockton.

Duirnish is also a single-platform station that was opened in 1897 by the Highland Railway (Kyle of Lochalsh Extension)

Golspie is also a single-platform station that was opened by the Sutherland Railway in 1868.

 

[RDP]

Swale is also a station managed by a nationalised TOC.

East Malling is also a station that was opened in 1913 and currently the holder of the lowest DfT category rating of F2,

 

[RDP]

East Malling is on the Maidstone East line which runs from Otford Jct. to Ashford International.

 

[Springs Branch]

Southeastern's Class 395 Javelin trains also serve Stratford International.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Corby station was also opened in 2009.

 

[RDP]

Cricklewood is another DfT category E station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Dronfield was also opened by the Midland Railway in 1870.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Dronfield station was closed to passengers with effect from 2nd January 1967, although the station remained staffed for two years after closure until the goods station closed. The buildings were demolished in June 1973 but the platforms remained. Between 15th and 19th February 1979, British Rail temporarily reopened the station (along with the Midland Main Line platforms at Dore) because road transport throughout Sheffield had been brought to a standstill by heavy snowfall. (Dronfield station reopened permanently on 5th January 1981 with a limited service at peak periods only).

 

[RDP]

Dore is at one corner of a triangle so is Stanstead Mountfitchet.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Downham Market is also a DfT Category E station.

 

[RDP]

Downham Market is two stations south of Kings Lynn, it is also two stations north of Ely.

Alderley Edge was also opened by the Manchester and Birmingham Railway in 1842.

 

[RDP]

Broadbottom is another DfT Category E station managed by Northern.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Newton for Hyde was also one of the original stations of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway.

 

[RDP]

Newton for Hyde is known as such to avoid confusion with Newton (South Lanarkshire).

 

[D6130]

Cannon Street in London was also the scene of a fatal rail accident in 1991.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Work started on the original Cannon Street station and its approaches in July 1863, and was undertaken by Lucas Brothers, a leading British building business between 1842 and 1895. The company was based in London, but carried out contracts in a number of places, including Lowestoft, where they rebuilt the station in 1855.
