Before this goes any further, can I please ask that we link to STATIONS not towns. Thank you

Lime Street?

Limes are citrus fruits. As are oranges and lemons. Which, as well everyone knows, the bells of St Clements is in the habit of intoning. Repeatedly.
Well, it turns out that St Clements owe St Martins five farthings (who knew?), whilst meanwhile, the bells of Stepney are making an enquiry to the bells of Shoreditch about when they are going to grow rich. [For some reason at this point, the Great Bell of Bow feels a need to interject, but it's getting on a bit now, so we'll give it the benefit of the doubt.]

And as we all know, Stepney is a famous engine on the Bluebell railway, which is extending to East Grinstead.

Phew....

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Paignton is a terminal station, as is East Grinstead

***** I have to apologize to the forum for NOT using the correct wording of a junction station*****

 

[MidnightFlyer]

You mean its on a junction?

Par - a station that, on its own, doesn't warrant the service it gets, but as a junction (for Newquay), it does.
