Ladywood ends in wood, Woodmansterne begins with it. They are also both on electrified lines.

Sorry it needs to be a rail related association

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Landywood is also a Chase Line station with the lowest DfT category rating of F2.

The quiz should re-commence from this posting.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The present station at Landywood opened in 1989, as part of the first stage of the reopening of the Chase Line; another station opened at the same time was Bloxwich.

Aberech is also a station with the lowest DfT category rating of F2.

 

[RDP]

Abererch is the penultimate station on a lengthy single track line so is Duirinish.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Duirinish station was built by the Kyle of Lochalsh Extension (Highland Railway) between Stromeferry and Kyle of Lochalsh, opening on 2nd November 1897, as was the station at Plocton.

I cannot trace a station spelt like that.

Do you mean Plockton ?

 

[Springs Branch]

It's safe to assume from the association made that @EbbwJunction1 meant Plockton, so continuing . . . .

Plockton is the busiest of the intermediate stations on the line between Kyle of Lochalsh and Dingwall (exclusive), with 9,476 entries & exits recorded in ORR's 2021-22 accounting period.
The least busy station on the Kyle line (130 entries & exits in the same period) was Lochluichart.

Duncraig is also a station that was originally opened as a private station.

 

[Springs Branch]

Despite the small size and remote location, the hexagonal station shelter at Duncraig is a listed building according to Historic Environment Scotland.

Slightly larger and less rural, another Scottish station with heritage-listed buildings is Glasgow Central.

Bristol Temple Meads is also managed by Network Rail.

You are correct ... I can only blame my poor spelling and not even auto-correct - apologies!

To accommodate the increasing number of trains, Bristol Temple Meads was expanded in the 1870s by Francis Fox and again between 1930 and 1935 by Percy Emerson Culverhouse (1871 – 1953), the chief architect of the Great Western Railway from 1929 to 1945. Newton Abbot station was also built to his designs in 1927.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

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

 

[RDP]

The former Cheddar Valley line from Yatton joined the Berks & Hants line at East Somerset Jct. which is near Westbury.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wigan North Western was also the scene of a rail accident in 1873.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Oxford is also a DfT Category B station.

 

[D6130]

Bristol Temple Meads is another GWR station that has been waiting for long-promised electrification for several years.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The Bristol and South Wales Union Railway was built to connect Bristol Temple Meads with South Wales. The route involved a ferry crossing of the River Severn but was considerably shorter than the alternative route through Gloucester. The ferry was replaced by the Severn Tunnel in 1886 but part of the route continues to be used, including the station at Patchway, albeit at a slightly different location.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Church Stretton also is situated on a different station site to upon that which was originally opened.

 

[RDP]

Church Stretton is one station out from Shrewsbury on the line to Newport. Welshpool is one station out on the line to Aberystwyth.

 

[D6130]

Fort William was also rebuilt on a new site to make way for a new road by-pass.

 

[RDP]

Fort William is a terminus on the west coast of Scotland, so is Stranraer Harbour.

 

[D6130]

Ardrossan Harbour also formerly had ferry services to Ireland.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lake is also a single-platform station that was opened in 1987.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Until the construction of the interchange station with the Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Smallbrook Junction in 1991, Lake station was the newest on the island.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Keighley is another station whose Network Rail platforms are electrified (though by overhead rather than third rail). There are also platforms served by a preserved railway.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

William Coles was the station master at Keighley between 1900 and 1908, before moving to Skipton, where he was station master from 1908 to 1921.

 

[Springs Branch]

Ilkley also has regular trains to both Leeds and Bradford Forster Square.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Ilkley station was opened in August 1865 as the western terminus of the Otley and Ilkley Joint Railway. The station buildings were designed by the Chief Architect to the Midland Railway, John Holloway Sanders who, some five years later was also responsible for designing the buildings at
Dronfield station.
