Pershore in Worcestershire was also the subject of a poem: "Pershore Station, or A Liverish Journey First Class" by John Betjeman.

"The train at Pershore station was waiting that Sunday night
Gas light on the platform, in my carriage electric light,
Gas light on frosty evergreens, electric on Empire wood,
The Victorian world and the present in a moment's neighbourhood."

Torre is another station served only by GWR that was cut off from the rest of the rail network when the Dawlish Sea Wall collapsed.
