Huncoat
is another 2 platform station on the Caldervale line.

I suggest that a double-checking of your rail information would be useful here :shock:

The last time I heard was that Huncoat was on the East Lancashire line.

Ravensthorpe

Goostrey is also a 2-platform station opened in 1891, currently managed by Northern Rail with a DfT category rating of F2

Huncoat is also a 2-platform station operated by Northern Rail and it's definitely not on the Caldervale line !

Preston Park was the easiest station to access Brighton & Hove Albion's former home, the Withdean Stadium. Falmer is the easiest for their new home.

Tywyn is another ATW station which, according to your average dimwitted Englishman, has no vowels in its name (which we all know is not true ;)).

Three stops down the same line is Pensarn {Gwynedd} to avoid confusion with Abergele & Pensarn [which is in Conwy]

Warren on the Seacombe Hoylake and Deeside Railway was closed in 1915 and is one of a very few select stations with Warren in the name.

Are we allowed the use of closed railway stations on this quiz.....or are you a "thwarted" contestant from the "Closed Stations Journey Quiz"....:D....If we are to continue on this line, there was once a small station called Folkestone Warren Halt which was opened in 1886 by the South Eastern Railway, but closed later that year after Lord Radnor complained that users of this station were trespassing on his land. One of the problems in that area was that landslips were not uncommon. However, in 1908, the South Eastern and Chatham Railway again reopened a halt in the area which was always subject to landslips, one of which buried the station in 1915 and caused the cancellation of railway usage in that area for quite some time. The halt finally closed to passengers in 1939.

Looking back to the start of this thread you're quite right closed stations aren't allowed.
I got 2 different quizzes mixed up, sorry.

Anyway to revive the correct procedure:

Victoria station in London has the same name as a ship launched in 1861 and owned by The South Eastern Railway.

Huddersfield doesn't have a "Station Hotel" as such, but the "George Hotel" is adjacent and could have been named as such.

King George V (DLR, if that's allowed) was also named after a reigning monarch

I don't believe it is. Sorry.

To link both the station that followed this (Huddersfield) and Victoria, Liverpool Street is also a location that is frequently served by services branded as "Express" services (TransPennine; Gatwick/Brighton; Stansted).
