Weymouth is another limit of long-distance services radiating from London that is known for its power system being inadequate for full operation. (I believe Skipton's problem has now been sorted, whereas Weymouth still necessitates single 444s.)

Lincoln also has the suffix "Central" but like with Newcastle that suffix is rarely used outside its immediate locality.

Sheffield also had 2 stations serving different routes which have now been diverted into one station.

Newark North Gate also sees an extreme variety in stock, in that it too sees both electrified loco-hauled rakes and 153s.

Needham Market, in a different way, is AC electrified but does not see EMUs calling. (The only difference is York sees a frequent electric service in the shape of the EC 91-hauled sets.)

On the same line, Ingatestone is also in-between two stations that are considered far more important than it, with InterCity services also available at both (even if Shenfield calls are non-standard now - 90 rakes calling there was so useful to me :().

Barnham also handles a regular train service which serves just 1 station besides itself (hourly to Bognor Regis only).

Brockenhurst is also at a junction for a short branch line very close to the south coast.

Bristol Parkway is another three-platform station that is expected to have a fourth operational within the next few years. (It is true however that BPW's would be new-build, whereas CDQ's is merely derelict.)
