Huddersfield

another station where the local hostelries attract much rail custom.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bristol Temple Meads is another Grade I listed railway station.

 

[Welshman]

London Paddington

another station where a certain Mr Brunel had a say in its design.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manchester Piccadilly is also managed by Network Rail.

 

[Welshman]

Leeds

another major station to have been re-named twice in its lifetime.

[Manchester Store St, London Rd, Piccadilly; Leeds Wellington/ New, City, Leeds]

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Clapham Junction is also a 17-platform railway station.

 

[Welshman]

Not to be confused with Clapham in North Yorkshire, which used to be a junction but is not quite so big.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gargrave was also opened in 1849 by the "Little" North Western Railway and currently an "F2" DfT rated station.

 

[12CSVT]

Maybole has a considerably less frequent service than the next station down the line

 

[Welshman]

Abergele & Pensarn

another station which sees a regular service Mon-Sat, but an infrequent and irregular one on Sundays.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Flint was also opened in 1848 by the Chester and Holyhead Railway.

 

[David Goddard]

Cuddington is also 12½ miles from Chester

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sowerby Bridge also once had a connection to a now-defunct branch line (Rishworth branch).....The one at Cuddington was the Winsford and Over branch)

 

[High Dyke]

Cheshunt in Hertfordshire was where John Tillotson, born in Sowerby Bridge (1630) became curate of the parish church - St Mary The Virgin in 1662. He eventually went on to become Archbishop of Canterbury .

Apologies for this.

What a most wonderfully reseached and detailed posting.

Unfortunately, I must very regretfully inform you that this is the Station Association quiz and NOT the Settlement Association quiz....:cry:

Sowerby Bridge still remains the station to make a connection with

 

[Welshman]

Dewsbury

also has a privately-owned licensed refreshment room serving real ales.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stalybridge also has an iconic premises on its platforms.

 

[Welshman]

Rose Grove

[Stalybridge used to be a possible junction in the Huddersfield direction for the now disused diverging Micklehurst loop: Rose Grove similarly in the Preston direction with the now disused Padiham loop]

Stalybridge also has an iconic premises on its platforms.

P.S. What's an "iconic premises"?

Something that affects your poetic flights of fancy and general understanding of the English language and general well-being after sampling certain of the more potent liquid refreshments in the Stalybridge Station buffet bar...

Rose Grove

Daisy Hill also serves an area somewhat unknown for its horticultural splendour.

I thought you were referring to that.
In which case, the pedant in me says its a plagiaristic, as my previous connection with the Jubilee Refreshment Rooms in Sowerby Bridge referred to the delightful alcoholic beverages proffered in that establishment!


Never mind , have another drink and carry-on with the game!

Mirfield

another station which has seen its original up and down "fast" [and avoiding] lines take out of use.

Pedantry runs rife on the website today but I claim exemption from a claim of plagiaristicity as my posting did not refer as such to the actual station building common to the examples quoted in both our previous postings, but the medically-known effects of the product imbibation that ensues therein. "Clutching at straws" syndrome appears to be my only excuse nonetheless...

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Having spent a whole lifetime clutching at straws, I am quite happy to continue.

So the station is Mirfield, and the ball is in your court, or anyone else's looking in

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Marsden station also has an unusual platform configuration.

 

[Welshman]

Walsden

is also the first W.Yorkshire station you encounter after tunneling through the Pennines on another line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Blackpool North was also rebuilt in a different location to its original site.

 

[Welshman]

Alliance Rail Holdings also originally proposed a through service from Penistone to London.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Broadbottom was also served in past days by services using an electified line using 1500v DC current.

 

[Welshman]

Brockholes

[in the 1920s, Broadbottom enjoyed fame when LNER's morning express from Manchester London Rd to London Marylebone deigned to call. In the same way, Brockholes' hour was when the "South Yorkshireman" from Bradford Exchange to Marylebone, stopped to pick-up passengers in the 1940s & 50s.] 'A first-class return from Brockholes to London Marylebone, please'.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Poulton-le-Fylde was the junction for a now-closed branch line (to Fleetwood).....Brockholes was the junction for the now-closed Holmfirth branch line.

 

[Welshman]

Are we the only ones playing this game?

Morpeth
has also seen unfortunate accidents [2], caused by a train taking the curve at an excessive speed.
