Warrington Central, another cess pit near to Widnes

 

[me123]

Coatbridge Central

Another case where the "Central" station isn't the main one for the town.

 

[12CSVT]

Covent Garden - near a transport museum

 

[Anon Mouse]

Mannez Quarry (Alderney Railway), another place where you will see preserved London Underground stock

 

[me123]

Huyton Quarry

It's closed, but I don't care.

 

[LE Greys]

Blackfriars
Also closed (the District Line part anyway)

 

[Zoe]

Blackfriars

Coventry, for Whitefriars.

 

[Ivo]

Northampton, which has a bus station by the name of Greyfriars

 

[Zoe]

Weston-super-Mare, on a loop off a main line.

Fife- a loop

 

[Anon Mouse]

North Shields,

When operated by BR it was on the North Tyneside loop

 

[me123]

Fife- a loop

... Fife's not a station. It's a rather large council in Scotland... :roll:

Anyway, I'll now go with

Millfield, another railway station directly replaced with a T&W Metro station.

Sale: An example of a station "succumbing" to the same fate elsewhere in northern England.

 

[me123]

Altrincham; all trains from Sale start and terminate there (and it brings us back onto the railway network!)

 

[Anon Mouse]

Chester, final stop of trains heading from Altrincham

 

[Ivo]

Cardiff Central

When written in Welsh, Chester is Cardiff without the "diff"! (Caer - Caerdydd)

 

[Anon Mouse]

Swansea, different spelling when in Welsh (Abertawe)

 

[me123]

Inverness

All services passing through must enter the station and reverse out.

 

[bradders1983]

Inverness

All services passing through must enter the station and reverse out.

No services pass through though, do they?

 

[me123]

A few do. There's a Queen Street-Elgin service once a week, and a daily Kyle of Lochalsh-Elgin service.

 

[Ivo]

Wasn't there a Euston - Lairg service once upon a time?

For the same reason, I shall call Colchester Town.

Wiki says this about reversals from the Kyle/Far North line onto the Highland Main/Elgin line:

Platform 5 also has a connection from the east side, but it is only usable by a two car train, and even then, it must not be in passenger service and movements from Platform 5 to the east line are not allowed.

So if there are through services from west to east, I assume the bit about the train having to be out of service and the bit about no east movements are both wrong then?

Clicky (I've got an answer for everything, don't I? )
