Clitheroe is another station with a Booths' supermarket on or adjacent to the premises.
Castleford is another through station where most of the services either terminate or reverse, rather than passing through to the other side.

Prior to the 1923 Grouping, Normanton was an important junction station at one extremity of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway's system, where traffic from that company interchanged to and from the Midland Railway.

Another station where the L&YR met the MR, also still open but of greatly reduced importance today, is Hellifield.

Nairn was the last place signalled on the Highland Railway's two signal boxes one signalman principle. This system also used to be used at Achnasheen.

Another single line passing loop where trains terminate is that at Invergordon.

There are two other National Rail stations in addition to Sydenham, located on different lines, which use variations of the name - Sydenham Hill and Lower Sydenham.

Another station with two rather less chipper siblings sharing its name (Woolwich Arsenal & Woolwich Dockyard) is Woolwich on the Elizabeth Line.
