Canterbury West

I used Gillingham as the association in my posting in the manner that I did, specifically as the previously named station in the posting that I responded to, viz. Brampton, had not been named with a county clarification suffix, there being two named stations of Brampton in different counties.

Chilham is another former South Eastern Railway station that was opened in 1846.

Sandwell & Dudley is another 2-platform station served by 2 TOCs, where 1 TOC offers direct links to London and the other TOC is the one which manages the station.

Yes, I appreciate you did, but to progress the game I needed to chose one of them, so used the word "assume" in the sense of my making the decision. Perhaps "pick" might have been better. :)

Penrith also has some Intercity services stop, with others passing without stopping.


Oxenholme


also renamed to demonstrate its proximity to the Lake District.

If you ask for a ticket to The Lakes, you sometimes get confused ticket staff selling a ticket to Oxenholme instead

Signs at Heald Green also advertise that it serves a nearby, larger town

That was a cheeky way of annoying the shop traders of Heald Green as it advertised the market and shopping precinct of Wythenshawe....:D

Stansted Mountfitchet is also the penultimate station before an airport railway station.

The station code for Ayr is also identical to the name of the settlement it serves.

Deighton also does not have any services running non-stop to the next station down the line due to the trains instead reversing at a junction (Deighton-Brighouse corresponding to Styal-Heald Green).
