Station association

[EbbwJunction1]

Alexandra Parade station should not be confused with Alexandra Palace station in North London.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Handforth also has a "Friends of the Station" group of volunteers.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Neither Handforth or Mauldeth stations have an ATM Machine.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Neither Handforth or Mauldeth stations have an ATM Machine.

I am having a great deal of difficulty in tracing a Mauldeth railway station that carries/carried such a station name. The nearest so far being that of Mauldeth Road railway station on the Styal Line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

I am having a great deal of difficulty in tracing a Mauldeth railway station that carries/carried such a station name. The nearest so far being that of Mauldeth Road railway station on the Styal Line.

I do apologise ... it should, as you say, have been Mauldeth Road.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Styal was also opened by the London and North Western Railway in 1909.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Gatley station also has a ramp for train access.

 

[Springs Branch]

Gatley is served by both the Northern and TransPennine Express TOCs - with slightly more NT trains stopping than TP.

Lea Green is also served by the same two TOCS - again with more NT trains calling than TransPennine Express.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Low Moor is also a station that occupies a different site to that of the original railway station.

 

[D6130]

Mytholmroyd is also a station on the Calder Valley Line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Littleborough is another of the original stations that were opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

For the first year of operation following its opening in July 1839, Littleborough was the temporary terminus of the Caldervale Line from Manchester to Leeds, as the section on through the Summit Tunnel towards Mirfield was not completed until 1841.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Wakefield Kirkgate is another 3 platform station operated by Northern in the West Yorkshire Metro area.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brighouse was also opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway in 1840.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

A lithograph was produced by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait showing Brighouse station in 1845. This was part of a series of railway subjects with a particular focus on landscapes showing Lancashire and Yorkshire lines produced by him between 1845 and 1848. Another station in the series was Rochdale.

 

[M-Train]

Beckenham Junction is one of only two other DfT category C2 stations offering tram-train interchange.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Beckenham Junction is in the London Borough of Bromley, but Beckenham Hill is in the London Borough of Lewisham, albeit very close to the border with Bromley. Both stations are in London Travelcard Zone 4.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bellingham is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1892 on the Catford loop line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Honor Oak Park is also a London Travelcard Zone 3 station.

 

[D6130]

Salfords is also a two platform station on a four track main line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Heath High Level was also opened in 1915.

 

[M-Train]

Of the two Heath stations, Heath HL is four years younger than Heath LL. The age gap is exactly doubled for Whitechapel as it now is, without Crossrail: the low-level ELL section came in 1876, whilst the high-level DR only arrived in 1884.

 

[Springs Branch]

The track layout at Whitechapel is not necessarily intuitive, since the Underground lines pass above the Overground lines there (or looking at it another way, the Overground lines pass below the Underground lines).

Another station where London Underground tube trains pass above National Rail trains is Greenford.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

St Ives is also the terminal station of a short branch line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

"Slow Train" is a song by British duo Flanders and Swann, written in July 1963. It laments the closure of railway stations and lines brought about by the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, and also the passing of a way of life. Of the 31 stations mentioned in the lyrics, nine currently remain open; St Ives is one of them, and Formby is another.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ainsdale was also opened by the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway in in 1848.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Another station which is exclusively served by 40+ years old EMUs, is Blundellsands & Crosby.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Both Blundellsands & Crosby and Hall Road stations have accessible toilets.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Witham was also the scene of a rail accident in 1905.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Diss also has a station car park.
