Morecambe

Two snaps again -

Also a seaside resort in Lancashire;
Also used to have station, Euston Rd, built mainly for summer tourist traffic and now demolished. As Blackpool's Central.

 

[Oswyntail]

Luton - Eric Morecambe's football club!

 

[Eagle]

Luton's the terminus of a loop service; as, I guess you could say, is Ellesmere Port.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Liverpool has a boat museum, as does Ellesmere Port

 

[Eagle]

Liverpool is the next place I'm going to organise a charity collection. The last place I did was Oxford Circus.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Elephant and Castle has an animal that may be seen at Oxford Circus

 

[Eagle]

An elephant and castle is the armorial bearings of the City of Coventry.

Durham has a cathedral, as does Coventry

[12CSVT]

Braintree - branch line terminus which has regular direct trains to London

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Exmouth is on a single line branch line, as is Braintree


(If Fleetwood had still been open, I would have said it had a FREEPORT like Braintree)

 

[12CSVT]

Starcross - where you can get the ferry to Exmouth (or if you prefer, the train if you don't mind spending 40 minutes going bumpety-bump on a 142 unit )

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Swindon has a "Brunel" special connection, as does Starcross (Atmospheric System).

 

[Oswyntail]

Severn Tunnel Junction, on the line linking Swindon and Swansea(which was overlooked a few posts back)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

SEVERN BEACH station shares the same river name as Severn Tunnel Junction.


(with regard to your comment, both "Welshman" and I made a posting with an answer AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME. It was unfortunate that the next poster chose to reply to mine. I have the greatest admiration of "Welshman" as a forum member).

 

[Anon Mouse]

Flowery Field, another place where the station sounds nicer than the place it serves!

 

[HugePilchard]

Flowery Field serves the Hyde area of Manchester.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was written by Robert Louis Stephenson, who also started to write St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England

 

[Anon Mouse]

Hartlepool, another place where a 'Frenchman' was kept prisoner. However the 'Frenchman' turned out to be a Monkey!
