[M-Train]

The Metropolitan Railway intended to build to Tring. The Jubilee Line, closely affiliated operationally with the Met, was at one point intended to serve Woolwich Arsenal.

Abbey Wood was also opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1849.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Alphabetically, Abbey Wood is the first National Rail station in the UK, with the last being Ystrad Rhondda in South Wales.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ynyswen was also opened by British Rail in 1986.

 

[Springs Branch]

Ynyswen's three-letter is YNW, the opposite of WNY = White Notley.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Cressing is also a single-platform station that was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1848.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Cressing is on the Braintree Branch Line, which leaves the Great Eastern Main Line at Witham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Potters Bar is also a four-platform station with a DfT category rating of C2.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Another station which has previously seen class 313, 365 and HSTs regularly pass through in passenger service is Hadley Wood

 

[M-Train]

Surbiton is also the last station in London, and also the only Z6 station, on its mainline.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leamington Spa is also a four-platform Art Deco station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Platform two at Leamington Spa is used by services to Stratford-upon-Avon via Claverdon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Criccieth is also a single-platform station with the lowest DfT category rating of F2.

 

[Springs Branch]

The three-letter station code for Criccieth is CCC.
Two other National Rail stations have similarly alliterative codes, including LLL (located unsurprisingly in Wales) - Llandeilo.

Ffairfach was also opened by the Llanelly Railway in 1857.

 

[M-Train]

The signal box at Hertford East was also removed to a heritage line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Moorgate is also a terminal station with a DfT category rating of "E".

 

[M-Train]

Sheerness-on-Sea is another third-rail terminus at the end of a short branch which has a similar number of intermediate stations, and the same DfT category.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Surbiton was also the scene of a rail accident in 1971.

 

[M-Train]

Kensington Olympia also once had a Motorail service.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Streatham Common is also a DfT category C2 station that was opened in 1862.

 

[Springs Branch]

Berkhamsted is another 4-platform station where the great majority of stopping trains use only two of the available platforms.

 

[M-Train]

Berkhamsted will lose the services of one TOC (Southern) in May, just as Farringdon gains another (Crossrail).

 

[Springs Branch]

Farringdon has a non-intuitive three-letter station code involving the letter Z (ZFD).

Another member of the trio of National Rail stations currently beginning with Z (will there be more with Crossrail?) is ZCW - Canada Water.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Braintree Freeport was also opened in 1999.

 

[M-Train]

Farringdon has a non-intuitive three-letter station code involving the letter Z (ZFD).

Another member of the trio of National Rail stations currently beginning with Z (will there be more with Crossrail?) is ZCW - Canada Water.

From the XR test runs, I would doubt it.

 

[M-Train]

Braintree Freeport was also opened in 1999.

Ware is another electrified GA single-track station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]
