Barking is also a nine-platform station with a DfT category rating of "B"

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Hexham is also a Grade II listed railway station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Hexham has retained it's distinctive elevated signal box, which was built in 1896, and is also Grade II listed. It is one of only two such structures left on the line, the other being at Wylam.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Filey is also a Grade II* listed railway station.

 

[Springs Branch]

Hexham Haltwhistle also has a NER-design footbridge.

Hexham also has a NER-design footbridge.

That's a rather quick return to Hexham, which was posted a few postings ago.

That's a rather quick return to Hexham, which was posted a few postings ago.

Repeating any of the previous three station names is not prohibited in the rules for this particular quiz (although that requirement is stipulated for Settlement Associations).
However it was an oversight on my part so, in the interest of good form, I've edited to make the same association with Haltwhistle.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Indeed the rules are what you say they are, but for those of "the regulars" who contribute to both quizzes, it can be confusing at times to remember which "three station" embargo applies to the quiz they are on.

Moses Gate was also opened in 1838.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Darwen is also a former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Aldermaston is also a DfT category F1 station that was opened in 1847.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Aldermaston station is on the 'Berks and Hants Line', a term that has been used intermittently by officials and passengers for the whole route from Reading to Taunton even though it does not enter Hampshire. It does, however, enter Wiltshire, and the first station after the line crosses the border is at Bedwyn.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pewsey was also opened in 1862 by the GWR-owned Berks and Hants Extension Railway

 

[Springs Branch]

Bodmin Parkway is another DfT Category D station managed by GWR.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Truro is also a three-platform station that is on the Cornish Main Line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

John Brewer was Station Master at Truro between 1886 and 1897, having formerly been Station Master at St Austell.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Newton-le-Willows is also a former Motorail terminal.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Newton-le-Willows is the last station prior to the boundary between Merseyrail and Transport for Greater Manchester. Hough Green is also just before a similar boundary, but this time between Merseyrail and Northern Rail.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Widnes is also a Grade II listed railway station that was opened by the Cheshire Lines Committee.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Widnes railway station is traditionally the station where Paul Simon composed the song "Homeward Bound" but it is most likely that it was Ditton station, part of the Widnes Loop Line and the train to London.

My apologies …. Widnes is on the line between Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street, as is Edge Hill.

 

[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.

Ditton is a closed railway station ''''' Closure date was 27th May 1994.

 

[Kilopylae]

Newcourt, as both it and Widnes are half-an-hour's walk from parks named after King George.

 

[Esker-pades]

Newcourt, as both it and Widnes are half-an-hour's walk from parks named after King George.

Relations here should be railway related. Being x-distance from a park is not a railway relation.

OBSERVATION

When an incorrect posting is made and correctly struck-through, then other quiz contributors make postings following on after it, a newly made posting should be made after such following postings that have appeared in print, rather than to go back to edit the originally made posting with new information, as contributors will only see last made postings rather than backtracking.

My apologies …. Widnes is on the line between Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street, as is Edge Hill.

Leyland is another electrified 4 platform station served only by Northern.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wigan North Western was also opened by the North Union Railway in 1838.

In August 2002, torrential rain flooded the low-level stations from Dalmarnock through to Exhibition Centre via Glasgow Central for a number of weeks.
