[M-Train]

Greenford was also known, amongst other things, for having a very long-lived wooden escalator.

Windsor & Eton Central is another branch terminus which is usually served by a single DMU on a shuttle style service from the nearest mainline junction, for most (if not all) of the day.

 

[Tetragon213]

It has long been proposed to link Central to Windsor and Eaton Riverside

 

[D6130]

London Paddington also has a royal waiting room....originally built for Queen Victoria.

 

[RDP]

Trains from London to Birmingham Snow Hill ran from Paddington in GWR/BR days. Nowadays they run from Marylebone.

 

[Hamma52]

Vauxhall is another station that has over 10 million entries/exits per year, and yet is only on 1 London Underground line

(not strictly LU this connection, I must confess!)

 

[Thornaby 37]

Seaforth & Litherland is also one station away from Waterloo (albeit a different Waterloo)

 

[Purple Train]

Lake is also a third-rail electrified station served by a single class of EMU.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hag Fold was also opened by British Rail in 1987.

 

[M-Train]

Knockholt’s ticket office is also open only for the morning peak; it is also a Category E station.

Enfield Lock is another station that lies on the very edge of Greater London and had its name changed around 30 years after being opened.

 

[Hamma52]

Brockenhurst also lies on a line that was electrified in the 1960s (albeit third rail, rather than OLE is is the case with Enfield Lock)

 

[RDP]

Sittingbourne is also a DfT category C2 station that is the junction station for a branch line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pontypridd was also the scene of a rail accident with fatalities in 1878.

 

[Hamma52]

Newark North Gate also has 3 platforms

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Grantham is also a DfT category C1 station that was opened in 1852.

 

[M-Train]

Grantham-Skegness locals avoid the ECML by a chord reinstated relatively, i.e. within this century. Another contemporary example of chord reinstatement within the old LNER network which has been raised, but in this case never actually taken beyond the drawing board, would allow for direct Stratford-Chingford services.

 

[Tetragon213]

All services from Chingford terminate at London Liverpool St.

 

[Hamma52]

Liverpool Street is the busiest station in the UK. The other end of the spectrum is Denton, which had only 54 entries/exits in the 2023/24 period, thus making it the least used station with a service.

 

[Tetragon213]

Gainsborough Central also only receives a parliamentary service

 

[M-Train]

West Ealing used to have an actual parliamentary service; this is now a (parliamentary) rail replacement bus.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lichfield Trent Valley is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1871.

 

[RDP]

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Reading was also the scene of a rail accident with fatalities in 1855.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

[Tetragon213]
