[M-Train]

Near Rickmansworth, there is also a triangle where one side is used only a few times a day.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Rickmansworth and Chorleywood stations are both outside Greater London but within London travel Zone 7.

 

[M-Train]

These two stations are the only ones on the Met in Herts. Likewise, the WCML’s only station in Bedfordshire is Leighton Buzzard.

Tring is also a DfT category C2 station that was opened by the London and Birmingham Railway.

 

[M-Train]

Tring should have had LUL service, as the Met wanted to build from Chesham out to there to join the WCML. Looking back, the same may well be said of Clock House—it is meant to be on the Bakerloo extension to Hayes, but it is doubtful if that happens, given COVID.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Both Clock House and Kent House stations have an Induction Loop.

 

[M-Train]

Though not in the NR/BR section, an IRA bombing also occurred at West Ham.

Orpington is also an eight-platform station.

 

[Strathclyder]

East Kilbride was also opened in 1868.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Giffnock station was also opened by the former Busby Railway.

 

[Springs Branch]

Doesn't seem to be much to say about Giffnock beyond who opened it and when. Anyhow . . . .

Before pandemic disruption set in, ORR statistics (for 2019/20) show there were just over 89,000 entries & exits by Season Ticket users at Giffnock in that accounting year.
This is a similar figure to the 89,196 Season Ticket uses at Handforth.

Alderley Edge was also opened by the Manchester and Birmingham Railway in 1842.

 

[Springs Branch]

Prior to Stage 1 of Metrolink, from the 1970s to the 90s, Alderley Edge was a terminus for one of South Manchester's main suburban train routes.
Frequent electric trains ran to/from Alderley Edge, via Piccadilly and Oxford Rd to Altrincham.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Altrincham and Northwich stations both have a car park.

 

[M-Train]

Leeds was also a joint LNER/LMS station, albeit not as part of a joint line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manchester Piccadilly is also managed by Network Rail.

 

[M-Train]

Willesden Junction is another DfT category A station on the WCML, albeit with the WCML platforms removed.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lewisham was also the scene of a rail accident in 1858.

 

[M-Train]

A similar form of interchange with the DLR also exists at Greenwich.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The original Deptford station was also opened by the London & Greenwich Railway.

 

[M-Train]

Deptford is an NR station, but Deptford Bridge is not. Likewise, Putney is an NR station, but Putney Bridge is no longer one.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Mortlake was also opened by the London and South Western Railway in 1846.

 

[M-Train]

Between Mortlake and Barnes can be found three level crossings.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Barnes's station building is Grade II listed, and was designed by the architect John Thomas Emmott in 1846. it is the only survivor of four brick-built Tudor Gothic-style stations on the Richmond branch, the others being Putney, Mortlake, and Richmond.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Perth is also a seven-platform station.

 

[M-Train]

Perth is served by a portion of the Caledonian sleeper; the Highland Sleeper divides five stations earlier, at Edinburgh Waverley. Similarly, Kingswood is served by trains which divide at Purley, 5 stations up the line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tadworth is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened by the South Eastern Railway.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Oyster Pay as you Go cards can be used at Tadworth and at Coulsdon Town stations.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Elmstead Woods was also opened in 1904 by the South Eastern Railway.

 

[M-Train]

Another Zone 4 station which sees service from the Networker family is Castle Bar Park, which also dates from 1904.
