Hertford North

also on a loop line

 

[MCR247]

Well it isn't really :P

Hertford East

Also serves Hertford

 

[12CSVT]

St Albans Abbey - also at the end of an electrified branch line.

 

[Ivo]

Paisley Canal - also has a very unusual suffix (if it can be called a suffix... let's not go into that again! )

 

[seagull]

Ipswich - suffix, sorry, Suffolk's, county town.


(btw Hertford North is on the Hertford Loop - a loop line surely: "a railway branch line that branches from the trunk line and then rejoins it later on")

 

[12CSVT]

Crewe - another location where passenger trains used to change locos from electric to diesel (and vice versa) before the whole route was electrified

 

[Lampshade]

Nuneaton - another station forgotten by Virgin on the WCML.

Windsor and Eton Riverside - eaton, eton also electric 450 / 350's

Elgin

Nearest station to Lossiemouth (I think) which is another Scottish RAF base.

 

[Oswyntail]

Dunfermline - nearest station to the family seat of the Earl of Elgin

 

[seagull]

Earlestown - by name but not by nature

 

[12CSVT]

Earlestown - by name but not by nature

Doncaster - another place where top quality motive power has been constructed

 

[imagination]

Plaistow.

Plaistow is the site of the factory in which sugar cane is made into Lyle's Golden Syrup. Another product which could be made from this is caster sugar. Doncaster has nothing to do with caster sugar, other than the fact that its name contains "caster"

Do I get the prize for most tenuous link between places?

 

[12CSVT]

Sundridge Park - located on Plaistow Lane

 

[Bedpan]

Emerson Park - not only contains "Park" in the name, but is another example of the only intermediate station on a branch line in Greater London.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Middlesbrough, Emerson used to play for them

 

[Oswyntail]

Newport - also home to a transporter bridge

 

[Matt Taylor]

Stockport, also has a recently opened platform.

Wakefield Westgate - acted as Denton in A Touch of Frost

 

[imagination]

Newark Northgate - another compass direction "gate" station

 

[12CSVT]

Lewisham - also has a flat crossing just north of the station

 

[imagination]

West ham

Another station served by both the DLR and normal train services. Plus the "ham" connection. And if you want, "Lewis" is a surname that is common in Wales, which is in the west of Britain.

 

[317653]

Limehouse, served by c2c

 

[12CSVT]

Ashurst New Forest has also changed its name since BR days
