Springburn is one of few stations that has regularly scheduled services to both Glasgow Queen Street High Level and Low Level. Another such station is Anniesland.

Anniesland also has trains via Glasgow Central Low Level to Motherwell.

Motherwell is the last stop that Avanti and London Northeastern coincide. Trudging down the WCML, the Avanti then meets London Northwestern at Crewe.

[LUYMun]

Tywyn is located adjacent to, but not connected with, the Talyllyn Railway at its nearby Tywyn Wharf station. A similar situation can be seen at Shepherds Well (two words) with the nearby East Kent Railway's station Shepherdswell (one word!).

Elephant & Castle is the southern terminus of the London Underground's Bakerloo line, the northern terminus being Harrow & Wealdstone.

 

[methethpropbut]

The Bakerloo used to run beyond Harrow & Wealdstone, just as the Metropolitan used to run beyond Amersham.
