Due to naming confusion, many a tourist has found themselves at Alton looking for Alton Towers. The station eventually ended up getting a poster giving directions to Alton Towers (a mere 4 hours and 46 minutes away), going via Stoke-on-Trent before ending on the buses.

While Wylam and Hexham have overhead gantry signal boxes of a similar design a third to a different design survives at Canterbury West.

Canterbury West is approximately 1⁄2 mile to the north of Canterbury’s other station, Canterbury East. Both stations are located due west of Canterbury’s city centre; in fact, despite their names, the two stations lie on almost the same line of longitude.

From Southern's disc code system, a single disc placed on the locomotive's left-mid position (viewer's right when facing head on) indicated the train was to be routed from Southampton Central to Lymington Town

North Berwick is another station which whilst situated on an electrified branch line, has been served by DMUs for a time during privatisation.
