Chester is another station where at one time it was possible to see two trains departing for London leave in opposite directions. (....and still is in the case of Exeter SD).

Chester is the southernmost point on the Merseyrail network. The Northernmost point is Southport.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Presumably that's the one in Cumbria rather than the one in Suffolk.
It was the one in Cumbria, that only had a single branch line station of Brampton Town.

I was unaware that the Suffolk station of Brampton that was opened in 1854 by the East Suffolk Railway also had a long-closed branch line serving it, but I am aware that the next station down the line from it at Halesworth did have such a closed branch line. I will have to delve deep into my railway archives to see if I can trace the branch line that left off from Brampton on the East Suffolk Line.

Just clarifying which Brampton you were referring to.

Chathill is also a DfT category F2 station managed by Northern.
