Station association

[Buttsy]

Marlow is another station that is at the end of a short branch from a junction station

 

[Bedpan]

Gunnislake is also at the end of a branch from an erstwhile through line where trains now have to reverse.

Severn Beach is also a branch line terminus served by FGW.

 

[sonic2009]

Severn Beach has only services that are operated by FGW, the same applies to Castle Cary

 

[Eagle]

Castle Cary is on the GWR's traditional Weymouth rouote, as is Chippenham.

Berwick - on - Tweed is an island platform served almost entirely by long distance inter-city services

 

[Class172]

Carlisle and Berwick-upon-Tweed are the last stations in England when heading north by train.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Carlisle and Crewe have a sleeper

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Birmingham New Street and Crewe are major junction stations

 

[Class172]

Reading also has 12 platforms (I think).

St Albans Abbey was also visited by Spitfire's R&B railtour last weekend

I know

Southminster is also at the end of a branchline with a 45-minutely service.

 

[Ivo]

"45-minutely"? OK...? (Psst: It's 40.)

Anyhow...

Braintree is another station at the end of an NXEA branch that has a limited 12-car service.

If anyone suggests my 40 point ruins Matt's answer, we'll say that both St Albans Abbey and Braintree are on 321-operated branches. Like Southminster really.

 

[Bedpan]

Sudbury, end of another trunkated branch leaving the Great Eastern main line between Chelmsford and Colchester

 

[Eagle]

Sudbury Hill, Harrow is in another Sudbury.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wouldn't even dream of it.......

Sudbury is a single platform terminal station on a single track branch line and is managed by National Express East Anglia, as is Braintree.

Enough station association there to keep any quiz-master happy

 

[Buttsy]

We seem to have had 2 postings for one answer. I'm going to go with Eagle's Sudbury Hill, Harrow as Paul and Bedpan gave the same answer (Sudbury) following Braintree.

On to Princes Risborough, another Chiltern Railway station (and also mentioned in the John Otway song Louisa On A Horse!)

 

[Class172]

Par is another junction station that has direct services to London.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Truro was opened by the Cornwall Railway, has three platforms and is managed by First Great Western, as is the case with Par.

 

[Bedpan]

Truro had an engine shed followed by a tunnel at the country end of the station, as did Guildford.

 

[Ivo]

Guildford is a rare example of a station whose official connection time is probably inadequate, as is also true of Colchester.

 

[Mojo]

People often claim that Colchester has the longest platform in the country, a similar claim is also frequently made about Gloucester.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Gloucester has a 170 service to university, just like Hereford

 

[Ivo]

Hereford sees a very limited loco-hauled service passing through, as does Castle Cary [well, most days].

 

[Class172]

Dawlish Warren and Castle Cary are both served by FGW.

 

[Eagle]

Whitby also sees far more passengers in the summer than the winter.

 

[Class172]

Trains to both Whitby and Looe require a reversal to reach them.

 

[Ivo]

Looe is far and away the busiest station on its line, as is also true of Morecambe.

 

[150222]

Scarbrough is also a seaside resort with a direct service to Leeds.

 

[Eagle]

Similarly, Huddersfield's direct services to Sheffield are more circuitous than the fastest route.
