Martin Mill is another station where there used to be a signal box on the platform which was also the ticket office and the local post office.

A military railway once existed from Martin Mill during the Second World War to store military equipment. Another military railway once connected Liss to Bordon via Longmoor in Hampshire (though it had a different purpose of training soldiers in operating a functional railway).

In addition to the connection at Liss the Longmoor Military Railway was connected at Bordon via a branch line from Bentley.

Fratton also serves a nearby football ground. Aston Villa and Portsmouth respectively.

Upminster is the easternmost point on the District Line. The westernmost point is Ealing Broadway.

There had been plans to link the two Windsor lines via an underground line, including to bypass Windsor & Eton Riverside in the process, but never came to fruition.

Upminster is the current western terminus of the District Line, but in the past it has gone as far as Windsor & Eton Central
I think Upminster should read Ealing Broadway.

Kingston is another DfT category C1 station managed by SWR.

Glasgow Central is also a big terminus station with a couple of through platforms.

I think Upminster should read Ealing Broadway.

Yes it should read Ealing Broadway, I can't seem to work out how to edit it though

The Bakerloo line passes through this station, which runs from Harrow & Wealdstone to Elephant & Castle.

Gunnersbury used to have two additional platforms to the east of the current ones that served the Kew Bridge loop, which is similar to Barnstaple’s situation, having had two other platforms opposite to the sole remaining platform.

Halling is the second station from the Strood end of the Medway Valley line. The second station from the Paddock Wood end is Yalding.
