Chapelton is also a single-platform station with the lowest DfT category ratings of F2 that was opened by the North Devon Railway in 1854.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The railway between Exeter and Barnstaple (which passes through Chapelton) is designated as a community railway and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partntnership under the "Tarka Line" name. Another line supported by the Partnership is the Atlantic Coast Line, which runs from Par to Newquay, passing through Quintrell Downs station on the way.

Overpool was also opened by British Rail in 1988.

 

[Springs Branch]

In 2019/20, Overpool was the second-least used station on the Merseyrail network (and the quietest on the Northern Line), with around 152,000 entries and exits. The least used Merseyrail station of all, at 122,500 annual users, was Little Sutton.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

With Overpool, Little Sutton is one of four stations on the Merseyrail network that is unstaffed; the other two are Bache and Capenhurst.

Humphrey Park was also opened by British Rail in 1984.

Hall-i'-th'-Wood is another station where passengers were unaffected by Northern TOC's recent system-wide ticket machine outage. Because it doesn't have a ticket machine either.

Eastbrook is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened by British Rail in 1986.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Eastbrook is one of the newest stations on the Vale of Glamorgan Line; Grangetown is one of the oldest, being opened over 100 years earlier, in 1882.

The station layout also comprises one wide island platform at Rose Grove.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kemble was also once served by a now-closed branch line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Stroud is also a station on the Golden Valley Line which has both standard and accessible toilets on Platform One.

Stroud is the only station to carry "(Gloucestershire)" after its name. Similarly, Newport is the only station to carry "(South Wales)".

Shrewsbury was also the scene of a railway accident in 1907.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Shrewsbury is the northern terminus of the Heart of Wales Line, although passengers from South East Wales travelling from (for example) Newport, are often advised to change at Craven Arms.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ludlow was also opened by the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway in 1852.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Leominster is another station on the Welsh Marches Line that is not served by the Premier Service between North and South Wales.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sowerby Bridge was also once served by a now-closed branch line.

 

[Springs Branch]

The three-letter station code for Sowerby Bridge (SOW) conveniently corresponds to the first three letters of the station's name.
The same thing occurs at GUI = Guide Bridge.
