Station association

[M-Train]

Another DfT category D station is Bush Hill Park.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Enfield Town station also has toilets for the travelling public.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kirkby is another station where in 2021, a rail unit over-ran the buffer stop.

 

[M-Train]

Almost-expired PEP's still appear, if much less frequently, at Maryland as well.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stratford also had its late 1940s period buildings designed by Thomas Penberthy Bennett.

 

[M-Train]

At Wimbledon, LUL, a mainline TOC, and a third form of rail transport by TfL will also meet.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Altrincham also has interchange facilities with heavy rail, light rail and bus services.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Altrincham is a staffed station on the Mid Cheshire Line; on the other hand, Plumley is not.

 

[Springs Branch]

Plumley has relatively low usage by passengers, with 24,308 entries & exits (less than 70 per day) in 2019/20, according to ORR statistics.
This is very similar to the 24,258 figure for the same period at Sanquhar.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Sanquhar station was re-opened in 1994 together with Gretna Green and a number of nearby stations after initially closing in December 1965.

 

[M-Train]

Lea Bridge is another station reopened after decades.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Northumberland Park was also opened originally by the Northern and Eastern Railway.

 

[M-Train]

Stonebridge Park is even closer to a Tube shed.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The LMS was the largest of the pre-nationalisation railway companies and had initiated a coherent design policy in the war, including prefabricated steel stations for its smaller halts. The prototype, designed by John Weeks, still stands at West Hampstead; the others, including Stonebridge Park (also designed by him), have gone.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Effingham Junction is also a DfT category "D" station that was opened in 1888.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon (what a splendid name!) is also a staffed station on the New Guildford Line.

 

[Springs Branch]

The three-letter station code assigned to Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon is the very memorable "CSD".
(This does not always work as well as might be expected - looking at you Barnes Birmingham New Street)

Another three-word station whose code is mnemonically-correct (i.e. uses the first letter of all three words) is ANF = Ashurst New Forest.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Beaulieu Road was also opened by the Southampton and Dorchester Railway in 1847.

 

[Springs Branch]

Camberley is another SWR-managed station with through trains to London only during peak hours.

 

[M-Train]

The curve between Fulwell and Strawberry Hill is also served during peak hours only, and only by SWR too.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hampton is also a station that was opened in 1864 on the Shepperton branch line.

 

[M-Train]

Likewise, West Drayton is the last station on the GWML (in the down direction) where Oyster can be accepted.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Clitheroe is also a station that was relocated to its existing station site from the original site when it first opened.

 

[M-Train]

The current station site at Clitheroe has been used since 1894; Blackhorse Road opened in 1894 too.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wanstead Park was also opened by the Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway.

 

[M-Train]

This station is on the GOBLIN; its 172’s met the Tube at Barking.
172’s can still meet the Tube now, and one place where this happens is South Ruislip.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Denham Golf Club is also a DfT category F1 station that was opened by the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway.

 

[M-Train]

New Cross Gate has a 3-part station name; its station code of NXG reflects the initials of each part, as with DGC for Denham Golf Club.

 

[Springs Branch]

Tring is another 5-platform station where two of the five platforms are not in regular use by stopping trains.

 

[M-Train]

Mill Hill Broadway would have had a Tube connection/interchange as well, if things had gone to plan. (Northern Heights)
