Saltburn, another seaside terminus where hardy surfers may be seen

 

[SteamontheMet]

Belfast Central, another station where Thumpers used to operate!

Can we void Belfast Central? I believe only stations in Great Britain are allowed.

Belfast is in Great Britain!

No it is not. Belfast is on the island of Ireland not the island of Great Britain.

You're not going to win this one, she's technically right (avoid mentioning the EU )

Lets just move on:

Chichester - because it's a long way from Ireland (and has a harbour)

Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. Just look at a map and you will see there is water between them.

Unfortunately Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britian but part of the United Kingdom.

England, Scotland, Wales = Great Britian.
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland & other overseas territories governed by Westminister = United Kingdom.

However having looked at the rules it does not say it has to be in Great Britian and people have already mentioned stations outside the GB.

As Scotland wants to gain INDERPENDENCE can we VOID all SCOTTISH stations??!!

my station is Marske next station along!

 

[OxtedL]

Can I put Bank? (please don't void, just move on )

You would of course wear a marske to rob a bank.

London Waterloo, the other station where Bullied EMU's still ran into the 1990's!

Wellington - Fought a battle at Waterloo.

 

[LE Greys]

Wellington - Fought a battle at Waterloo.

Little Bytham - another station on a bank where speed records were set. (Hope closed stations are valid)

 

[ainsworth74]

(Hope closed stations are valid)

I don't see why not, I've used Sheffield Victoria before now!

Durham - Another location which the ECML travels over via a viaduct.

Canterbury West, another Cathedral City station

 

[Zoe]

The rules do not say where the station has to be but if we don't restrict it to Great Britain then there would be nothing to stop someone saying Central, Sydney. The rules don't even say what type of station it has to be so there's nothing to stop someone saying International Space Station. If Scotland becomes independent it will still be part of the island of Great Britain although not politically.

I don't think it really matters as long as people are sensible. We've already had a few German stations as it is, so I don't think having Sydney Central is going to be that bigger an issue.

Anyway from Canterbury West to Chelmsford - Also home to a 2nd Division Country Cricket Club. (Essex in this case).

Taunton, another county town.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Sidcup, another station whose first three letters are unique (TAU/SID) to any station in Great Britain.

 

[OxtedL]

Sydney Central (Sid/Syd)

 

[imagination]

Gopalganj

another railway station that is completely randomly selected and bears no real resemblence to the preceding station whatsoever

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Drat! I was hoping someone would post Leicester so that I could post International Space Station!

( The connection being the educational space centre place near Leicester! )

Ah well...

On the assumption, from the sound of it, that Gopalganj is Indian, I will offer up London Marylebone.

The connection being that the chairman of the TOC that operates from there, Adrian shhoter, owns an Indian steam locomotive.

Pwllheli

Another station that many people have difficulty pronouncing the name of.

Holyhead - has been cut off from the rest of the British Rail network in the past as a result of bridge repairs.

 

[dave12435]

How bout Higham as it has been isolated by tunnel repairs before now

 

[gnolife]

LOWdham

 

[me123]

Harrogate

Also gets a London service in one direction only.

 

[37 418]

Dalwhinnie

Ditto (Sundays only)

Dunrobin Castle, another station in the Highlands of Scotland and in the middle of nowhere!

Castle Cary, another station with Castle in the name.

Colwall, another station with an outwardly (but not in truth) pointless FGW HST service.

 

[imagination]

Stonegate

A col is a pass between two mountain peaks. These often contain paths going from the valley on one side to the other. A gate serves a similar function, as a route from one side to the other of an obstacle at the point of least resistance. Moreover, the thing that the gate is passing through will often be a wall. Walls are often made of stone, particularly the sort of wall that would have a gate in it or that would be found in a col.

 

[12CSVT]

Lingfield - on a route where 'Thumper' units were displaced by electrification

 

[OxtedL]

Last time we were on Lingfield we went to Chesterfield, so how about:

Flowery Field

Melksham - opened on the same day as Flowery Field (13 May 1985), so both stations will be 26 years old tomorrow. Happy Birthday Flowery Field and Melksham.

 

[Ivo]

Longcross. Where Melksham is in line for an improved but erratic service, Longcross already has an improved but erratic service...

 

[The_Rail_WAy]

Middlewood (Cheshire) as like Longcross it has no vechile access.
