Liss is also served only by EMUs

 

[D6130]

Until it's closure in1969 Liss was the Southern terminus of the Longmoor Military Railway. Its Northern terminus was at Bordon, which was once served by a branch line diverging from the Pirbright Junction - Alton - Winchester line at Bentley (Hants).

Since its major rebuilding between 2006 and 2012, London Kings Cross has also become an 'Eco' station.

 

[QSK19]

London St Pancras is another ‘London Terminals’ station where the only regular traction running on diesel is powered by my namesake engines.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

In 1895, the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LT&SR) began to run boat train services from St Pancras to Tilbury following the opening of the Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway. Boat trains continued to run from St Pancras until 1963, after which they were moved to Fenchurch Street.

 

[RDP]

Fenchurch Street is one of two London termini not directly managed by Network Rail. The other one is Marylebone.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

London Marylebone is the southern terminus of the Chiltern Main Line; the northern termini are at Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill.

Loughborough is also a Category C1 station with 3 platforms and also has a history of being served by 153s & 170s.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

North-bound trains from Loughborough all pass through or call at East Midlands Parkway.

Since eight days have elapsed since the last posting was made, I shall make a temporary return from my self-imposed sabbatical......

Imperial Wharf was also opened in 2009.

 

[RDP]

Anerley is another DfT category E station managed by London Overground.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sydenham was also opened by the London and Croydon Railway in 1839.

 

[RDP]

Waterloo also has a namesake on the Sydney Metro.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Note that you should only reply with a station on the main BR network (e.g. not Underground or Preserved Railway) that is still open.

Does the association mention made of the Sydney Metro fall foul of this part of the quiz rules? Perhaps the forum quizmaster team can clarify that point.

Now that this thread is moving once again, I shall return to my self-imposed sabbatical.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Assuming that the suggestion of Waterloo is not accepted, I'll continue from Sydenham. The station is within London Travelcard Zone 3, as is Alexandra Palace.

 

[RDP]

Why should Waterloo be rejected? It is a valid railway related connection between two national network stations.

Would the Forum Quizmaster like to adjudicate on this, please?

Thanks.

Waterloo was fine, as it's a GB station.

We can continue from either Waterloo or Alexandra Palace, I'll leave it up to whoever makes the next move.

 

[D6130]

Portsmouth Harbour is also a terminal station served by - amongst others - South Western Railway.

 

[RDP]

Plymouth also does not have a platform 2.
