Streatham is served by Thameslink trains operating the Sutton Loop to St Albans service and is located in TfL Fare Zone 3.
After passing through Central London, the St Albans-bound trains encounter Fare Zone 3 again at Cricklewood.

Strawberry Hill is a Step-free category B Station, with ramps or level floors to both platforms; Fulwell station, however, is a Step-free category C station, meaning that it does not have step-free access.

Taking this as the last valid post .....
Levenshulme is the first station out of Manchester on the Buxton Line; Dove Holes is the penultimate station on the same line.
Although not obvious, since it's in a tunnel, a totally separate freight-only railway (from Chinley to Peak Forest) passes more or less beneath Dove Holes station.
Another station with an independent freight line passing beneath is Warrington Bank Quay.

Berney Arms is the current holder of the title 'Least Used Station'. Buckenham is the only other in Norfolk to have done so, way back in the 2000/2001 statistics year.

The Wherry Lines from Norwich to Lowestoft split at Brundall Junction, just after Brundall station. One line goes to Great Yarmouth; the other line goes on to Lowestoft via Reedham.

Neath is also on line that was due to be electrified as part of the Great Western Electrification Programme but so far hasn't been.

Nottingham is also the last station in a town that used to have three mainline stations (City, Victoria and London Road at Nottingham; General, Riverside and Abbey at Neath)

Leicester is also on the Midland Main Line and also had 3 stations, North, Central, and Midland I think

Farringdon is also a station from which all National Rail departures in either direction reach a London Terminal.

The line at West Brompton also runs with platforms parallel to and (almost) level with subsurface London Underground
