Southport is one of three northern termini stations on the Merseyrail's Northern Line; the other two are Ormskirk and Kirkby.

 

[Springs Branch]

Today, all trains serving Kirkby either originate or terminate there. However in the first half of the 20th century, all services from Kirkby were through trains, with none terminating or starting there.

A similar situation has occurred at Blackpool South.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fairfield is also a station that currently has fewer platforms than in past times.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Although Fairfield station is on the route of the Manchester to Glossop Line, the services on that line do not serve Fairfield as they run fast between Ashburys and Guide Bridge.

Ashburys has junctions at both ends, so does Tonbridge.
