How does that link in?

Middlesbrough is also a large town to have no direct london service but one can be caught from a small station nearby. (Brighouse and eaglescliffe respectively)

How does that link in?

The only direct service Scarborough–Sheffield (via Hull) is slower and longer than changing at York.

The only direct service Huddersfield–Sheffield (via Penistone) is slower and longer than changing at Wakefield.

Simple :P

Well that's fair enough, but there was no mention of Sheffield until you mentioned it. We had a clue about Scarborough have a service to Leeds (TPE 185s of course).

Anyhow, Laindon also has at least one through platform that can (and does) operate as a terminus platform.

You need to pass through ticket gates to get from one platform to another at Ebbsfleet International, as is the case at Laindon

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

I went from Scarborough to Huddersfield. Sheffield was just part of the connection.

I've really confused you, haven't I?

Not any more

Ebbsfleet is a modern station on a 100+ mph line. East Midlands Parkway is another such station.

 

[Eagle]

Didcot Parkway is also one of those rare parkways that's right in the middle of the place in its name.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

York and Didcot Parkway are both situated near to collections of preserved steam locomotives

 

[Class172]

Brighton and York both have Victorian vaulted roofs.

 

[AlterEgo]

Stansted Airport - also a station to have a service branded as "Express".

 

[Class172]

Cheltenham Spa is also served by XC 170s.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Swindon and Cheltenham Spa were originally stations with broad-gauge rail services.

 

[Class172]

Bristol Temple Meads and Swindon were originally designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel (and the GWR).

 

[Ivo]

Temple Meads sees a very limited service from a constituent of the former Southern Region. This is also true of Wembley Central.

 

[Class172]

Stratford will soon serve a large stadium, as Wembley Central already does.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brentwood and Stratford were both opened by the Eastern Counties Railway

 

[Class172]

Maidenhead will also be served by Crossrail in the future.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Didcot Parkway is a 5 platform station on the Great Western main line and is managed by First Great Western, as is the case with Maidenhead.

 

[12CSVT]

Rugeley Trent Valley is very close to a power station

 

[Class172]

Rugeley Trent Valley and Walsall are both served by DMUs and EMUs.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Welwyn Garden City station also leads directly into a shopping centre.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Letchworth Garden City serves a similar urban development project that was originally proposed by Sir Ebenezer Howard, as was Welwyn Garden City and both railway stations are managed by First Capital Connect.

Peckham Rye has previously seen service by 365's.

 

[TheJRB]

Broadstairs also has services to London in both directions.

 

[150222]

[TheJRB]

Reading has trains to both Paddington and Waterloo, as does Exeter St Davids.

 

[150222]

Durham is served by voyagers and hst's.

 

[TheJRB]
