Nailsea & Backwell is another station on a line that is thought to be in the pipeline for future electrification but with no commitment - formal or otherwise - having been provided as of yet.



Quack.

A Starmie that goes 'Quack' - where's that Master Ball? :lol:

The Midland Main Line is considered to be a branch? :lol:

Coventry is another station with a branchline that uses LM 153s.

According to usage statistics for 2010/11, Coventry was the 65th busiest station in Britain. At the other end of the scale, the tiny and completely irrelevant station known as Gainsborough Central (whatever :lol:) was the 65th quietest station in Britain.

A sudden echo of :lol: appeared from somewhere down south...

Damn. That's the last time I leave my valuables where a stupid old man can find them...

Lea Road is Gainsborough's 'better' station. Not that that's saying much because I still took a good drenching last time I used it, while I was stood under the shelter...

Loch Eil Outward Bound, another station built (and named) to serve a leisure facility and not a place

Looe also has a name that might sound a bit odd to an arrogant person in the South-East of England :p

Loch Eil Outward Bound just sounds like a strange mouthful; Looe is rather obvious.

The 3 letter station code for Bognor Regis forms a slang word for 'toilet'

Littlehampton is the other terminus of the shortest regular service operated by Southern between two stations that have buffers at one end of all platforms.

Most Victoria to Littlehampton divide at Haywards Heath.
Ore is the destination of the rear portion of most xx47 services from Victoria

Ellesmere Port is another location where 3rd rail electrification ends, but the line continues eastwards without electrification

Not including stations in areas where Metro services independent of NR already exist, Barry is another station that would be easier to convert to Metro than most.

Cleethorpes is also beyond the main destination of the line it serves (Grimsby in this case, Aberdeen in the last)

Stansted Airport was the original terminus for the route operated by the 5-strong dedicated class 322 fleet; North Berwick was supposed to be their new permanent base of operation (until the 380s replaced them).
