At the foot of the ramp to the southbound platform to Erdington station there is a sculpture by Ronald Rae entitled Insect and Celtic Cross. He is also responsible for a granite sculpture called O Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast at Milton Keynes station.

Although it's not listed as such on the separate list of DfT Category F2 stations, Wildmill allegedly falls into this category, as does Emerson Park.

(This information is supplied by Mr W Pedia, so it must be right ... unless anyone else can say otherwise!)

Styal is the first station on its line to be outside of Greater Manchester. Similarly, Iver is the first station on its line to be outside of Greater London.

Mr A Stabler was the Station Master at Selby between 1951 and 1955; he had formerly been the Station Master at West Hartlepool (which is now known as Hartlepool), station.

Towyn station also has walking links to a narrow gauge railway, in this case the Talyllyn Railway.
I assume you mean Tywyn. Towyn is a different place, and does not have a station.

If so:
Tywyn has two platforms, and so acts as a passing loop for trains along the Cambrian Coast line; so does Barmouth (Abermaw).

Yes, I did .. my apologies!

Moving on - Barmouth station is on the southerly side of the Barmouth Bridge, and Morfa Mawddach station is on the northerly side.
