Acton Bridge (Cheshire) is another multiword station where the words in the station name start with consecutive letters of the alphabet (3 consecutive in this case!)

Penrhyndeudraeth is another station where both the proceeding and subsequent stop on the Transport for Wales operated service are reached within 5 minutes of departing the station.

North Llanrwst (or just north of it at the signal box), is also where tokens are collected/deposited ahead of the single track beyond the station.

Sugar Loaf is considered the remotest station in Wales in terms of proximity and ease of access to the nearest notable settlement. In England, the honour goes to Berney Arms, Norfolk.

Assuming that we're talking about Helensburgh Upper, the RETB control centre is at Banavie....about 100 miles away by rail. The station just serves as the point of interface between the RETB system and Yoker Signalling Centre.

Ahh right my apologies. I always thought there was more of a centre there. Shows what I know. Shall we go Banavie then?
