[M-Train]

Queenstown Road also provides an interzonal OSI.

Quintrell Downs is another of the few British stations commencing with the letter "Q".

Neither Penshurst or Godstone stations have a taxi rank.

Edenbridge was also opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1842.

The Monday to Friday Go-Coach bus service route E1 follows a circular route around Edenbridge, and serves both of the town's stations, namely Edenbridge and Edenbridge Town.

Lelant is also an intermediate station on a short branch line.

 

[M-Train]

Brondesbury Park is another station that was nearly Beeched.
(How did this Zone 2 station elude attention on this thread all the way since it started??)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Dagenham Dock is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1908.

 

[Purple Train]

Chafford Hundred was also built, on a line now operated by c2c, a considerable number of years after the line opened.

 

[M-Train]

Emerson Park is another single-track AC electrified stop near the edge of the Oyster Area.

 

[Purple Train]

Sundridge Park is also the only intermediate station on a branch line operated as a shuttle.

 

[M-Train]

The above two branches require reversal to access; the Epsom Downs branch, however, does not.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Banstead is also a single-platform station with a DfT category rating of F1.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Housing and gardens in Banstead in this area border Greater London 500m away to the north. Accordingly, since January 2006, the station has been included in Travelcard Zone 6. Another station in the same local authority area (Reigate and Banstead) which is also outside Greater London but in the same Zone is Chipstead.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kingswood is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1897.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Kingswood station was originally opened in 1897 as Kingswood and Burgh Heath. It was the original terminus of the single-track Tattenham Corner Line before it was extended to Tadworth & Walton-on-the-Hill (now Tadworth) in 1900 and Tattenham Corner a year later.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wargrave is also a branch-line station that was opened in 1900.

 

[Purple Train]

Between Twyford and Henley-on-Thames stations, there are two intermediate stations: Shiplake and Wargrave. The same situation persists on the branch line between Maidenhead and Bourne End, the origin of which (Maidenhead) is a stop away from Twyford on the Great Western Main Line. These two branches are therefore diagrammatically identical. Continuing this line of logic, Maidenhead on the Bourne End branch corresponds to Twyford on the Henley-on-Thames branch. Shiplake corresponds to Furze Platt, and Wargrave corresponds to Cookham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Furze Platt is also a single-platform station with a DfT category rating of "E".

 

[Purple Train]

Just before Furze Platt station, on the left-hand side of a train travelling towards Bourne End, there are several signs warning that the area near the line is a known contamination site. Issues with contaminated materials within the railway boundary also surfaced during planning for the replacement station at Bromsgrove.
(I like clutching straws. It's like using a stress ball.)

Barnt Green is the station at the other end of the notorious Lickey Incline.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Mr S C Pugh was the Station Master at Barnt Green, possibly from c1940 (the records are unclear) until 1959, and afterwards at Severn Beach.
