Nottingham's main building was built in the same architectural style as London Marylebone's (the so-called "Wrenaissance" style, popular in Edwardian days).

In 2019/20 Ulleskelf recorded 13636 passengers. The station that received closest to the same number of passengers, within the 2019/20 recording year, was Long Preston, which welcomed 13624 passengers.
(Apologies, I couldn't use the 2020/21 statistics as they're only available in Excel)

A Mr Joseph Smith was station master at Giggleswick during the 1860s and 1870s. Afterwards, he became station master at New Mills Central.

(I know I'm clutching at straws - but there's very little about Giggleswick that wasn't mentioned in the previous post by @Xenophon PCDGS :lol:)

Liverpool Lime Street also provides a connection between (an)other TOC(s) and Merseyrail, with the interchange configured such that Merseyrail serves through platforms and the other TOC(s) use the station as a terminus.

Reading station was named "Reading General" from 1949 to 1973; this epithet is now sported only by Wrexham General station.

Until 1981, what is now Platform 4 at today's Wrexham General was, for historical reasons, part of the separate station known as Wrexham Exchange.

Leeds is another location where two adjacent stations originally owned by separate companies were combined into one (this time in 1938 when Leeds New and Leeds Wellington became Leeds City - now shortened to just Leeds).

Glasgow Queen Street also consists of a multi-platformed high-level terminus station with a two platform low-level underground suburban station at right angles to the main lines.
