Station association

[Purple Train]

Sheerness-on-Sea is unusual in that its three-letter CRS code is just the same letter repeated ("SSS"). The same applies at Criccieth ("CCC").

 

[RDP]

There also used to be a passing loop at Llwyngwril.

 

[Springs Branch]

Burnley Barracks is also a request stop.

 

[RDP]

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

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

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Access to the platforms at Seascale is step-free on both sides, but the low platforms make the station unsuitable for mobility-impaired users without assistance. A Harrington Hump (a modular and easy-to-install system by which the height of a platform can be increased at relatively low cost) has been installed here to improve accessibility. The system takes its name from Harrington station in Cumbria, which is the location of the first production version.

 

[RDP]

Trains serving Harrington mostly run between Carlisle and Barrow in Furness but until 2018 there had been no Sunday service south of Whitehaven for more than 40 years.

 

[SteveyBee131]

In the not too distant past, Whitehaven had a once daily weekday train from Newcastle via the Tyne Valley. Another lost direct link by this route is that to Glasgow via Dumfries.

 

[RDP]

The long closed Port Line used to link Dumfries with Stranraer.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Dingwall was also opened in 1862.

 

[RDP]

Dingwall is the junction of the lines to Wick and Kyle of Lochalsh.

 

[D6130]

Until the late 1970s Kyle of Lochalsh used to have a direct ferry service to Mallaig.

 

[RDP]

Mallaig is the terminus of the westernmost line on the national network but the westernmost station is Arisaig.

 

[D6130]

Arisaig is not only the Westernmost station on the national rail network, but also the Westernmost passing loop. The next passing loop to the East is at Glenfinnan.

 

[Springs Branch]

Ribblehead also has a much-photographed railway viaduct in the station's vicinity.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Shirebrook is also a station that was built to the design of the Midland Railway architect John Holloway Sanders.

 

[RDP]

Saxilby is another DfT category F1 station managed by EMR.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Gainsborough Lea Road is another station which is served more frequently by another company than the one that runs the station.

 

[RDP]

Ockendon was another station which saw its signal box abolished as the result of a fire.

 

[LUYMun]

While Ockendon is outside the TFL 1-6 fare zones, it is part of the Oyster pay-as-you-go network. This is also the case at Gatwick Airport.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Inverness is also a seven-platform station.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Fort William is also a northern terminus of the Highland Caledonian Sleeper service.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Forres is also a station that was relocated away from the site of the originally opened station.

 

[RDP]

Forres used to be linked to Aviemore via a long closed line part of which is now a heritage railway.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kingussie was also opened by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway in 1863.

 

[D6130]

Kingussie is one station South of Aviemore, whereas Carrbridge is one station to the North.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Arisaig is also a category "B" listed Scottish railway station.

 

[D6130]

Arisaig is two stations East of Mallaig and two stations West of Lochailort.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Morar is also a single-platform station that was opened by the Mallaig Extension Railway in 1901.

 

[D6130]

Brierfield also had a traincrew-operated level crossing for many years.
