Seaford - bit obvious.

Sheerness: Another "dead-end" 3rd rail station.

 

[MCR247]

Skegness - another ness and terminus

 

[Ivo]

Oh dear... Let's keep that one going (i.e. "---ness" termini). I'm going to say a hell-hole of a place called...

SRY

I refuse to put the whole name

Conveniently, they also all begin with the letter "S".

P.S.: I'm biased. Wouldn't you be if you lived somewhere you don't like for nearly 20 years?

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

Aberdour

Not doing great here either!
