Caersws station is on the Cambrian Line in mid-Wales, serving the village of the same name. It is notable in that there are 22 miles separating this station and Machynlleth, the longest distance between two intermediate stations in Wales.

Wrong. Ashford International is owned by Network Rail and managed by Southeastern while the others although owned by St. Pancras High Speed Ltd (formerly HS1 Ltd) are managed by Network Rail.

Well, that will teach me not to believe everything that Mr W Pedia tells me ... apologies!

Let's try this one instead:
Ebbsfleet International station has bilingual signage, both in French and English. It is one of the relatively few stations in England to have bilingual signage; another is Hereford, which has signs in Welsh due to it being managed by Transport for Wales.

Penzance is the southernmost station on the national network and the westernmost in England. The actual westernmost station on the national network is Arisaig.

The station building at Wemyss Bay was designed by the Scottish architect James Miller FRSE FRIBA FRIAS RSA (1860 – 1947) in 1903 for the Caledonian Railway and is remarkable in its use of glass and steel curves. Fort Matilda was also designed by James Miller for the Caledonian Railway, and lies at the far western edge of the town of Greenock. Although now a non-staffed station, in 2011 the station building was taken over by the Greenock & District Model Railway Club, which obtained necessary approvals and funding from the Railway Heritage Trust and the Stations Community Regeneration Fund for conservation work and improvements to make the building into a clubhouse.

Malden Manor station was built in the concrete style of the 1930s; it was designed by James Robb Scott (1882 – 1965), who was the Chief Architect of the Southern Railway. He was also responsible for the design (amongst many others) of Durrington-on-Sea station.
