Harrington is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened by the Whitehaven Junction Railway.

 

[Springs Branch]

Perhaps Harrington station's main claim to fame is as the first site for installation of a 'Harrington Hump' - a low-cost solution to improve accessibility to trains for less mobile passengers at minor stations.

Following successful implementation at Harrington, the second 'hump' on the National Rail network was installed at St Albans Abbey.

Weeley's three-letter station code is the unfortunate WEE. Still, can't be worse than Poole's station code name of POO!

In 2022, Locomotive Services Limited (a charter operator) ran the "Friday Charter", a weekly service filling a gap in Avanti's cancellation, between London Euston and Manchester Piccadilly. It was notable for skipping Coventry, in which the first stop after London Euston was Birmingham International.
