Station association

[Eagle]

Weston super Mare is also a fairly major station on a loop from the mainline.

 

[Ivo]

Paignton also sees a limited XC service in addition to its FGW services.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ravenglass and Paignton both have heritage railways near to the NR stations

 

[Eagle]

Bushey is another station on the routes proposed by GNWR, at which the trains are planned to pass through nonstop.

[Ivo]

Bushey was at one stage planned to have a link with the London Underground, and indeed has had such a service at certain times in its history. A similar proposal exists at Clapham Junction now (with regards to one idea for the Chelney line; that thing that is probably centuries away).

 

[Temple Meads]

Reading also sees Class 458 Junipers.

Bletchley is also about to be substantially remodelled.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Saltley (2E) and Bletchley (1E) had the letter "E" in their locomotive depot shed codes.

 

[Bedpan]

Rugby, also has a "2" shed code, 2A.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Marston Green - Both have a LM service

 

[Eagle]

Patchway also has one service a day to Wolverhampton.

 

[Ivo]

West of Patchway is a station with very little service (Pilning). A similar situation applies from Great Yarmouth (to Berney Arms), albeit not quite as rare a service as the former!

 

[MK Tom]

Great Yarmouth is a seaside terminus rather like Eastbourne

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Eastborne has at least 1 train to London, like Kidderminster

 

[MK Tom]

Eastbourne has an hourly service to London... rather unlike Kidderminster...

Anyhoo, Kidderminster is a junction for a preserved line rather like the station in my DP, which is Duffield

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Eastborne has at least 1 train to London, like Kidderminster

Kidderminter has 5tpd!

From Duffield to Netherfield - also the first station out of a major city, and an island platform too.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Netherfield has a Island Platform like Dudley Port

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Netherfield has a Island Platform like Dudley Port

Ardwick has also had a closure threat in recent years...

 

[Mojo]

Hampton in Arden - also has rude connotations.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Hampton in Arden is on what is considered part of the WCML by NR, like Penkridge

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Wilnecote was also destaffed in 1993 (just two days later too; 20 March vs 22 March)

 

[Tomonthetrain]

of which has a train to Birmingham like Glasgow Central

 

[gnolife]

Trains go from Glasgow to Manchester Airport

 

[Tomonthetrain]

has a platform 1 like Stourbridge Town

 

[Ivo]

Cardiff Bay is also at the end of a very short branch whose only station has a needlessly long platform...

Wilnecote was also destaffed in 1993 (just two days later too; 20 March vs 22 March)

You and your staffing!

 

[MK Tom]

Little Kimble is also often served by a class 121.

 

[Eagle]

Furze Platt was on the same line as Little Kimble, a long time ago (the Wycombe Railway).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tal-y-Cafn is a single platform station, as is Furze Platt

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Stourbridge town is single platform too
