The line from Carnforth to Hellifield contains the longest absolute block section on the national network (Carnforth Station Junction-Settle Junction).

Although Skipton is in North Yorkshire, MetroCards (issued by the West Yorkshire Metro) are still valid at this station - Weeton is also in a similar situation.

Rose Grove was the location of one of the last three standard gauge steam depots on BR, the others being at Carnforth and Lostock Hall. After these closed and until the Vale of Rheidol line was sold The last BR steam depot was at Aberystwyth.

Gatwick Airport station was originally named Gatwick Racecourse - albeit on a slightly different site. Kempton Park was also built to serve a racecourse.

According to station usage statistics, Mottisfont & Dunbridge is the second least used station in Hampshire, with only Beaulieu Road having fewer passengers.

Rice Lane is served by the Merseyrail network's Northern line - not to be confused with the London Underground's Northern line, which calls at stations such as Kentish Town.

Templecombe is one of the few stations formerly served by the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway still in use. Another is Highbridge & Burnham.
