In the early 1960s, Coventry station was rebuilt to the designs of William Robert Headley, the Regional Architect of the London Midland Region of British Railways and reopened on 1 May 1962. He was an architect who is best known for his modernist railway stations, including the one at East Didsbury, rebuilt in 1959.

Patricroft is the first station on the northern route between Liverpool and Manchester within the Transport for Greater Manchester boundary; Newton-le-Willows is the last station within the Merseyrail boundary on the same line.

Mr Daniel Bailey was the station master at St Austell between 1886 and 1904; he had previously held the same post at Bodmin Road (now Bodmin Parkway) between 1873 and 1886.

From Coruscant-upon-Pearl to North Acton....
The Paisley Canal electrification was subject to tight clearances, resulting in operational restrictions (like a diesel ban) to get around the issue. Similar issues in an earlier age were dealt with by the use of a lower voltage (6.25 kV), as on the LTS out of Fenchurch Street.
