Is it not Ashurst New Forest?

Burnt Oak, also has fire and tree connotations.

Sorry, not familiar with the area and it just sounded right!
Selly Oak

 

[4SRKT]

Only in Irish English - in Irish Gaelic (also in Scottish Gaelic) the spelling is Loch

I'm well aware of this, but as this isn't a Irish speaking forum, and as Ireland is an English speaking country, 95% of whose population can't string a sentence in Irish (other than ridiculous and inaccurate sloganeering such as toicfaidh ár lá), then I think the point is well made enough.

Shipley, another PTE station with over 1 and a quarter million passengers per year.

Portsmouth - Ship Port

Portsmouth - Ship Port

Are we at Portsmouth Harbour, Portsmouth & Southsea or Portsmouth Arms ?:?

Sorry, didn't mean to cause any offence, I take your meaning about the sloganeering!

Inverness

*mouth, Inver- (from Inbhir) is Gaelic for (river) mouth.

 

[W-on-Sea]

If we're gonna be multilingual about estuaries....let's go to a suburb of Caerphilly whose name means that in Welsh....

Aber

 

[Ivo]

Aberdare. The first "Aber" station that came to my mind.

 

[W-on-Sea]

Who dares....Winsford

 

[12CSVT]

Who dares....Winsford

Lostwithiel - I think the association is obvious

 

[Ivo]

Theale. Another relatively minor station to have a primarily local but occasionally InterCity service, both on the same route.

 

[Mojo]

Hag Fold, another station where upon being asked for a ticket to the response given was a shocked "where?!?!" (I once asked for a ticket from Redland to Theale and the response was rather amusing; the woman thought I was saying "feel").

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Yate - another portacabin booking office - on a sidenote - is that still in use?

 

[Ivo]

I would have thought so, as with most of the "local" Bristol ones (I know Oldfield Park still has a portacabin, but I've never been there when it would be open, apart from to pass through).

As for an association...

Neath: Also has only one syllable in its name.

Neath: Also has only one syllable in its name.

Diss - as well as only having one syllable it is also the penultimate stop for many trains on inter-city routes from London.

 

[me123]

Lockerbie

Both are served only by "Intercity" trains. (Yes, I am calling 185s "Intercity" in this case!)

 

[Ivo]

Coleshill Parkway: As was formerly true of Lockerbie, the TOC that serves this station does not manage it.

 

[me123]

Ebbsfleet International

Was also opened in 2007.

 

[Mojo]

East Midlands Parkway, another white elephant.

 

[MCR247]

Corby - also a newish EMT station

 

[SteamontheMet]

Luton Airport Parkway - Also served by EMT

City Thameslink - Carrying on down the line / FCC

 

[MidnightFlyer]

City Thameslink - Carrying on down the line / FCC

Please don't restart the 'on the same line'/'also has -ton' etc

Colchester Town - also used to be named after a saint That's better

 

[W-on-Sea]

Glossop - single track terminus on a branch connected by a triangular junction to a main line (or, in this case, a former main line)

 

[SteamontheMet]

Greenford - Single Track Terminus/through station on the edge of a Triangle on a infrequent used line

Also has Semaphores (GWR LQ)

 

[Ivo]

South Ruislip: A little further up the line, it too has a far more prominent Central Line service that it does NR.

 

[12CSVT]

South Ruislip: A little further up the line, it too has a far more prominent Central Line service that it does NR.

Mirfield - also close to a split-level junction where one track of the main route dives under a relatively minor route.

 

[me123]

Wylam

The platforms at both stations are not opposite each other.

 

[37 418]

Attleborough

Also has staggered platfoms

 

[Mojo]

Wymondham, another station in NXEA's Rural Stations Restaffing Initiative.
