Historically Birkenhead Park was the interchange point between non-electrified (= steam) trains from West Kirby & New Brighton and the Mersey Railway electric trains to Liverpool Central. This function was superseded when electrification was eventually extended over the Wirral lines.
In Glasgow, a similar arrangement was in place for some years with North Clydeside electrics and Cumbernauld DMUs at Springburn.

Bere Alston is part of the Tamar Valley Rail Ale Trail, which was launched in 2004 to encourage rail travellers to visit pubs near the line. Another station which is also part of the Trail is Bere Ferrers.
