At one time it was possible to travel from Newbury to Eastleigh via the long closed DNS line.

Manchester Oxford Road may also be described as a third-most important station of its city.

The MSJA line used to link Manchester Oxford Road to Altrincham but has now been replaced by a tramway.

Watford Junction is the northernmost point on London Overground. The southernmost point is West Croydon.

Smallbrook Junction is also, despite its name, no longer a junction between National Rail lines.

Taunton is also a county town station predominantly served by one TOC and by another TOC's (long, non-London) hourly service.

Until 1964 one could get a through train from Taunton to Yeovil Pen Mill. The journey can still be made by rail but nowadays involves a change at Castle Cary.

Ebbsfleet International is also exclusively served by trains capable of at least 125 mph / 200 km/h.

The fact that it is referred to as Ashford International rather than Ashford (Kent) means that a letter in its code (AFK) does not feature in its name. This is also true of ASL, Ashington.
