Newcastle is another which for many years officially carried the suffix Central, though in modern times can be referred to either with or without in equal measure.

Crewe Works, located near to Crewe station, is an engineering facility largely focused on general maintenance and inspection of seriously damaged trains. Eastleigh Works is another engineering facility where similar activities are practiced.

Caersws is another station where there used to be a passing loop but where two passenger trains could not pass as there was only one platform.

Portion trains along the Cambrian Coast uncouple and join at Machynlleth, though they actually part or join ways at Dovey Junction, a few miles further west.

Accrington was once a location where slip coaches were detached from passing expresses.

Elsewhere, slip coaches appear to have been a particular speciality of the GWR. The last regular survivor of slip coach operation in BR (WR) days occurred until 1960 at Bicester North.

Although the Enfield area is served by several stations the most centrally situated one is Enfield Town.

There are three stations with the name 'Paisley'. Of these, Paisley St James has the lowest number of entries and exits in official statistics.

There are also three stations carrying the name 'Exeter'. Of these, the least used is Exeter St Thomas.

Penzance is one of the main termini of Inter City trains from Paddington. Another one is Swansea.
