London Charing Cross also saw the introduction of electric trains in 1926.

London Marylebone is also a six-platform station with the highest DfT category rating of "A".

 

[Springs Branch]

Fishguard and Goodwick also opened in 1899.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Duirnish is also a single platform station which is the penultimate station on a line leading to a ferryport railway station.

 

[Springs Branch]

A remarkable proportion of the stations whose names start with a 'D' appear to be request stops. This includes Duirinish and Dilton Marsh.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Durrington-on-Sea was also opened in 1937.

 

[Springs Branch]

The three-letter code for Durrington-On-Sea (DUR) corresponds to the first three letters of the station's name.

The same thing applies at DRI = Drigg.

Seascale was also opened by the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway in 1849.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Ravenglass station was also the location of a London Midland Region Camping Coach in the 1950s.

 

[Springs Branch]

Ravenglass is one of a select number of stations where it's possible to connect onto an adjacent 'heritage' railway using one through ticket issued from origins on the National Rail system.

Another National Rail station where 'seamless' through-ticketed journeys are possible (onto the K&WVR in this case) is Keighley.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rochdale is another station that is on a different site to the originally opened railway station.

 

[Springs Branch]

East Croydon also offers a convenient connection to the local light rail / tram system.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The original East Croydon station was designed in 1841 by the architect David Mocatta (1806–1882) David Mocatta, the then architect of the London and Brighton Railway. Another station designed by him at the same time was Hassocks, although this was demolished and replaced in 1973.

Burgess Hill is also a DfT category C2 station on the Brighton Main Line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The Gatwick Express also calls at Preston Park station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gunnersbury is also a DfT category "D" station that was opened in 1869.

 

[Springs Branch]

Harrow-on-the-Hill also saw introduction of electric trains in 1905.

(At both GUN and HOH, the electric trains were implemented by predecessor companies of today's Underground sub-surface lines.)

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The National Rail services at Harrow-on-the-Hill began as part of the Great Central Railway Main Line between London and Manchester on 15th March 1899. The passenger service north of Aylesbury ceased in 1966 due to the Beeching Axe, although there are now services to Aylesbury Vale Parkway.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Mitcham Eastfields is also a DfT category " E" station that was opened in 2008.

 

[Springs Branch]

Willesden Junction is also in TfL Fare Zone 3.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bolton is also a five-platform station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Bolton is currently known as "Interchange" because of its links with the bus station; Altrincham bears the same name for the same reason.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manchester Victoria is also served by both heavy rail and light rail services.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Southport is another station which has 6 platforms.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lancaster was also once served by a long-closed branch line.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The main building at Lancaster station was constructed in 1846 by Sir William Tite; he was also responsible for the buildings at Axminster station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ash Vale is also a DfT category "D" station that was opened by the London and South Western Railway.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Ash Vale station is approximately half a mile from North Camp station on the North Downs Line (the line between Gatwick Airport, Guildford and Reading). This is a distance that passengers are expected to walk to make any connection. Only disabled passengers may argue that to do so would not be "reasonable" - the National Routing Guide which defines route validity allows for the less able taking circuitous routes at the discretion of staff.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Crowthorne is also a DfT category "E" station on the North Downs Line.
