Station association

Stockport also gets a frequent service into a much larger town nearby.

(OK, Manchester is a city, but is therefore also a town in my book. Middlesbrough is not a city.)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Liverpool South Parkway is also a six-platform station.

 

[backontrack]

And Rotherham Central replaced an older station (Masboro).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is another former closed station (formerly known as Burlington Road Halt) that was reopened in 1987.

 

[backontrack]

And Bishopstone Beach Halt is another beach station that has been closed, although in this case, not reopened in 1987.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Note that you should only reply with a station on the main BR network (e.g. not Underground or Preserved Railway) that is still open.

This extract from the rules of the quiz, shown in the very first posting on the thread, is self-explanatory.

 

[backontrack]

In that case, Ardrossan Town also serves a seaside town and was closed before reopening in 1987.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Heysham Port is another single platform station in a marine location.

 

[backontrack]

As is Thurso, where I wish they'd put that old platform 2 back into use.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Scotscalder was also opened by the Sutherland and Caithness Railway in 1874.

 

[backontrack]

And Welshpool and Scotscalder both have an obvious link with the countries they exist in.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Three Bridges is another station that has services which divide later on along the route/have had services attached beforehand.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lewisham was also the scene of a railway accident.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Johnston also has a boy's name at the start of its name .

 

[backontrack]

Another station to exist on that line is Kilwinning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Another station to exist on that line is Kilwinning.

That would be JohnSTONE, not Johnston, which is several miles south west on the West Wales Line

 

[backontrack]

OK.

Make that Haverfordwest

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Clunderwen was also opened in 1854 by the South Wales Railway.

 

[backontrack]

Birmingham New Street was also opened in 1854.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Make that Haverfordwest

It's an easy mistake to make though, in your defence.

Birmingham New Street was also opened in 1854.

Manchester Piccadilly is another major UK station managed by Network Rail.

 

[backontrack]

Penistone used to be on a line to Piccadilly.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Alsager is another station with an F1 category.

 

[backontrack]

And Alderley Edge also begins with Al.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Blake Street also sees 323s.

 

[backontrack]

As does Levenshulme.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Ilkley is also a station served entirely by Northern Rail.

 

[backontrack]

Lowestoft is also served entirely by one TOC.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Milford Haven is also a terminus station at the extreme end of the country

 

[backontrack]

As is, of course, Wick.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Whitby also has a limited service.
