Ashburys was indeed named after that specific company which was instrumental in its construction, but I feel that it was Belle Vue station that used to serve the Zoological Gardens and Entertainment Complex of the same name.--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

Corrour is another railway station that has no road access......It is said that Dovey Junction does now have a very long footpath (0.75 mile in length) that leads to the small hamlet of Glandyfi.

Keighley is also a connection between electrified mainline services and a preserved railway

Goathland? Where is that?

I cannot believe that you have never seen an episode of "Heartbeat" in which Goathland railway station is featured, nor have read about the North York Moors Railway.

The Yorkshire Coastliner express bus service from Leeds to Whitby passes through the village with the supposed "Aidensfield Arms" and "Scripps Garage".

Much as it does seem to be to those of a "Southend" aspect on life, the world does not end at Thorpes Bay....:D:D

"Oh! Doctor Beeching" was filmed entirely on the Severn Valley Railway during its run and "Born and Bred" was filmed on both the East Lancashire Railway and on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway during its run

Oxenholme the Lake District also has a single track branch line leaving from the mainline railway station.

An interesting link considering Southend Airport station's age - and the imminent opening of Fishguard & Goodwick.

Anyway, St Pancras International has also had an unusually high amount of money thrown at it in recent times.

It is not exactly unknown for people in some areas, notably Norwich, to confuse Liverpool Lime Street with London Liverpool Street.

MAN also has several terminus platforms and a smaller number of elevated through platforms (tenuous!)

Lazy git ;)
