Southend Airport is also far grander than necessary :p

At least it has the excuses of being (a) new and (b) independently operated however! Newport's new look is so grand it's almost empty...

Knaresborough is on a very indirect route (in terms of journey time) between two principal stations, where a much faster alternative route is available

Settle, another Northern run station where Arriva ran a 37 hauled service when they had the Northern franchise

Elsenham is also the next station to an Airport served by a triangular junction from a mainline.

At least Styal does get a limited service to the Airport - Elsenham gets none!

Potters Bar, another station in the south of England where a (much more serious) fatal accident has happened.

Reading is another station that, given its size and importance, could arguably be worth switching to Network Rail management (and may already be set for?).

Haverford West

Haverfordwest is one word ;)

Also, does it have Summer Saturday services? I thought only the Pembroke route gets summer extras?

As a precaution against this, I will provide something which matches both it and Skegness:

Oban is also a fair distance away from any electrified route.

Bognor Regis is another station, managed and served solely by one operator, that sees it's services dividing/attaching at stations further along the route.

But unlike Oban this only applies to some of the trains which serve Bognor Regis ;)

Gillingham (Dorset) is another 2-platform station where most train services use one platform only (the other is used only when trains need to pass at the station).

(That's an association with Ockendon, by the way...)
