That's more of a Settlement Association response. Sorry.

In this thread new stations should be associated through something specifically related to the station, as opposed to the general area.

I am glad to see that you have pointed this matter out, as the Settlement Association quiz was originally set up to cater for the problems that were prevalent at that particular time.

Anyone accessing these quizzes should always look at the very first posting, where the rules governing that particular quiz will be found.

Apologies Paul. I looked at #6257 - association by steelworks - Sheffield/Port Talbot and assumed it was any connections.

 

[Welshman]

Lockwood

also on the Penistone line, also now one platform, and also originally a junction station [for Meltham, as Brockholes was for Holmfirth].

Locheilside is also a single platform station on the West Highland Line with a very low annual passenger total.

Beasdale and Locheilside are 2 of the 3 request-stop stations between Fort William and Mallaig; the other is Lochailort.

 

[221129]

Newton St Cyres is also a request stop on a abranch line

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manchester Oxford Road is also a five-platform station.

Hebden Bridge

is also a Grade II listed station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sowerby Bridge is also a former Manchester and Leeds Railway station that was opened in 1840.

 

[Welshman]

Guide Bridge

not only another "Bridge" but also another station badly damaged by fire

Ashburys is also a former Sheffield, Ashton under Lyne and Manchester Railway station that had branch lines to the lines of other railway companies, built with the permission of those other companies.

 

[Welshman]

According to Wiki, Ashburys serves no community with that name [perhaps Paul could confirm whether this is true or not], but was named after the Ashburys Railway Carriage and Iron Company. I remember it used to be called "Ashburys for Belle Vue" but since the demise of the Zoological Gardens, I suppose it doesn't even serve them.

So Dovey Junction comes to mind - also serving no real community of that name.
