Great Yarmouth - class 20s on passenger trains! (albeit for one day last year)

Vauxhall

Apparently, Great Yarmouth Station used to be called "Great Yarmouth Vauxhall Station"

It did - it is in/nearby an area of Grt. Yar called Vauxhall. I believe the signal box is still called Vauxhall.

Selly Oak

On the "other side" of West Midlands PTE Zone 2

 

[4SRKT]

Mountain Ash. Another tree

 

[me123]

Penryn

Has also had a passing loop constructed recently to allow a more frequent service.

 

[Ivo]

Battlesbridge

A one-word station on a branch line to have a newly-improved frequency

 

[4SRKT]

Wargrave

 

[MikeWh]

Gravesend

 

[4SRKT]

Tilbury. Other end of the ferry.

 

[me123]

Assuming you mean Tilbury Town? If so...

West Horndon: First station outside London fare zones on the other c2c branch.

 

[Ivo]

Urgh. How did we end up back home...? My brother and I used to call West Horndon Stinky Town" whe we were little because of the factories immediately north-west of the station. Now, I really don't see why; it's not as though they burn coal!

Seriously, I'm going to choose Brentwood. Bus connections via the A128 (and also the same out-of-London criteria, if not on the c2c route).

 

[4SRKT]

Aberdeen. Home of the oil industry and Brent crude.

 

[37 418]

Lairg

Both get passenger and oil trains

 

[MikeWh]

Lairg

Fairwater

 

[Ivo]

Coryton

It's only a Pacer away (urgh)...

 

[W-on-Sea]

Unable to resist the temptation to say

<b>East Tilbury</b>

First passenger station you'll encounter if you follow the freight line back from Coryton (Essex)...

 

[Ivo]

This one is almost immeasurably vague, but:

Wokingham. It's on a level crossing too.

[tumbleweed]

 

[me123]

Coatbridge Sunnyside

Trains are able to terminate and reverse here, but are not booked to do so in regular service.

 

[W-on-Sea]

This one is a triple connection.
The coat's material is stated
There's a large bridge there
And it's on the sunnyside of the country (and if you wish you can argue about which country exactly)

Berwick-upon-Tweed

 

[me123]

I hasten to add that the name "Sunnyside" is not a true reflection of that past of Coatbridge

Anyway, moving on to

Chepstow

Another station very very close to a border.

 

[Ivo]

Newmarket

Back to horse racing again

 

[W-on-Sea]

Connection : card games

Clock House

Clock House

Watchet - tick tock tick tock!

Aberl(h)our - keeping the time theme going!

 

[4SRKT]

I was going to say that there wasn't a station at Aberlour any more, but then remembered my earlier Manchester Central post

Aberdour
