Edinburgh Waverley is also a Network Rail managed station.

 

[Johnuk123]

I didn't realise that Network Rail had dropped Waverley from the station name until now.

Anyway Fort William is also a destination of the Caledonian Sleeper.

Mallaig is also served by the train called "The Jacobite"

Skegness is another seaside terminal station.

 

[Ivo]

Scarborough also has more platforms than necessary

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manchester Oxford Road is also a five-platform station.

 

[LE Greys]

London Liverpool Street combines the names of two cities

 

[Ivo]

Downgrading ourselves from cities to towns results in Birkenhead Hamilton Square matching the revised criterion.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

James Street is also a railway station that has electric train services in a tunnel under a large river very close to the said river.

 

[Clip]

St James Street as well as having a similar sounding name as James Street is actually the opposite given that it is bult in the open air above street level.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not, of course, to be confused with St James Park railway station in the Exeter area.

 

[Ivo]

Caerphilly is another station that sees some terminating services during the peaks.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brithdyr is another former Rhymney Railway station that was opened in 1871.

 

[Johnuk123]

Bellgrove was opened in 1871 also.

 

[Ivo]

Bellgrove is not to be confused with the not-too-distant Bellshill.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rutherglen was also served by services of the Caledonian railway and in 1879, it shared a station opening/re-opening date with Bellshill

 

[Johnuk123]

Newton is another 2 platform First Scotrail station.

 

[Robinson]

Whifflet is another 2-platform ScotRail station on a through line which is also the terminus for all services on one route.

 

[Ivo]

According to patronage data, Whifflet was the 1,172nd busiest station in Britain in 2010/11. The next busiest station, i.e. #1,173, was Tadworth.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Quintrell Downs is also the penultimate station on a branch line.

 

[Johnuk123]

Falmouth Town is another penultimate station with one platform on a Cornish branch line managed by First Great Western.

 

[Ivo]

Harwich Town is another coastal station to have "Town" as its suffix.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Narborough was another station that was opened to passengers in 1970....(it had been previously closed for a period).


NOTE.....This was posted in response to the posting of Falmouth Town

 

[Welshman]

Not to be confused with Scarborough, which was opened in 1845, and originally called Scarborough Central to distinguish it from the excursion platform at Londesborough Rd

 

[Johnuk123]

Seamer was opened in 1845 also.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Malton is also managed by First TPE

 

[Welshman]

Clifton

[Malton used to be the nearest station to the junction at Rillington with the Whitby line, part of which has now been adopted by a heritage railway [NYMR]. Likewise Clifton was the junction station for the L&Y line to Bury Bolton St, Ramsbottom, Rawtenstall and Accrington, part of which is now adopted by the ELR]

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Polesworth is also a railway station with only a parliamentary-type service.

 

[Robinson]

Dunbar is also a station located on a main line which has only 1 platform in use.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Prestonpans is also a station opened in 1846 and served by the North British Railway
