Capenhurst is also one of the small fraction of stations on the Merseyrail Electric network without a manned ticket office.

Spital was also opened in 1840 by the Chester and Birkenhead Railway.

 

[Springs Branch]

Gorton was also a four-platform station in the past and is reduced to two platforms today.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

From its opening, the new Gorton station was named Gorton and Openshaw, and it reverted to its original name by 1977.

It was referred to as Openshaw in the 1964 song "Slow Train" by Flanders and Swann. Although most of the stations mentioned in the song were earmarked for closure under the Beeching Axe, a number of the stations were spared closure: Chester-le-Street, Formby, Ambergate and Arram all remain open.

Rishton is another station whose original station was built on a different site to the current one.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

From Monday to Saturday, there is an hourly service from Rishton towards Blackburn and Preston westbound and to Burnley Central and Colne in the eastbound direction.

 

[Esker-pades]

Another station with the suffix "Central" that has interchange statistics from the ORR is Gainsborough Central.

Kirton Lindsey was also opened in 1849 by the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Kirton Lindsey is only served by three passenger trains (in each direction) on Saturdays between Sheffield and Cleethorpes. Brigg is the next station served by trains travelling to Cleethorpes.

During the current Northern strike action, Brigg is left completely stranded (in railway terms at least). Another station which only has a service on a Saturday, and so train-less, potentially for weeks on end during the strikes, is Reddish South.

Saunderton uses the same letters (in reverse order) for its three-letter station code.

 

[Esker-pades]

Denham Golf Club is another station on the Chilterns Main Line with a 1tph off-peak service.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Seer Green and Jordans was also opened by the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway.

Hebden Bridge is also a DfT Category E station.

 

[Esker-pades]

Hartlepool also has services operated by Grand Central class 180s.

 

[Whistler40145]

Sowerby Bridge is also served by trains to Leeds

 

[Esker-pades]

Sowerby Bridge is also served by trains to Leeds

Hartlepool to Leeds?

 

[Whistler40145]

Hartlepool to Leeds?

Obviously my post would've been valid, but didn't post in time

 

[Esker-pades]

Fair enough. I thought there might be a single service a day (my knowledge of services in Northern England is poor).

 

[Springs Branch]

Hartlepool also has services operated by Grand Central class 180s.

Ulverston was another station from where you could catch a Sleeper train to/from London until quite late in the BR era.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Exeter St Thomas is also a Grade II listed railway station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Most trains from Exeter St Thomas are operated by Great Western Railway on the Riviera Line to and from Paignton. The next station on that line is Starcross.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Teignmouth was also opened by the South Devon Railway in 1846.

 

[Esker-pades]

St Germans also has an irregular express service to London Paddington.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Luxulyan was another station where a camping coach was situated.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Luxulyan is on the Atlantic Coast Line, which starts at Par.

Ash is another three-letter station which is served by two different train operators.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

North Camp station is also on the North Downs Line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Well, as no-one has moved us on from North Camp, I'll offer this in the hope that it will provoke a reply:

North Camp station is managed by Great Western Railway, and it's possible to travel from there to Gatwick Airport.

 

[Esker-pades]

Brighton is also a terminus of Gatwick Express services.
