The next station heading southwards from both of these stations is a Bolton :D

Faversham is a two platform station managed by Southeastern, as is Broadstairs.

Faversham's got four;)

I usually can see my way through the most cryptic of clues but I cannot see any connection with Darwen in your quote above.:roll:

There used to be 1tpd from Stockport-Clitheroe (ex-Buxton) AFAIK, I'll check.

Manchester Airport is served by First TPE and Northern services, as is Salford Crescent.

Reading could also do with more through platforms ASAP (yes, I know they are getting some).

The link was from Darwen to Stockport, but there are now no direct services between these two stations and a change at Bolton is advised. I admit that Buxton to Clitheroe would be quite an attractive service to make a complete journey upon, though.:D

Could it be that you are confusing the 1tpd that departs Clitheroe at 1708 to Rochdale via Manchester Victoria and runs Monday to Saturday. On Monday to Fridays it arrives at Rochdale at 1847 and on Saturdays at 1849.

In answer to the clue that you set, I shall respond with....


In historical terms, both London Paddington and Reading have had terminal facilities on the Great Western Railway (but in Reading's case, it was only as a temporary terminal station in the very early days of the company).

Worcester Shrub Hill and Dorridge are both 3 platformed, LM-managed stations that are served by Class 150 and Class 172 DMUs.

Time for some random place I've never heard of. Not.

Bath Spa also has two platforms and fast services to a London terminus. It also just happens to have services to Reading, Basingstoke (albeit rarely), Southampton, Portsmouth and Weymouth, and is also the sole surviving central station in a fairly small Roman city; further, part of the route from the lost station has been converted into a heritage operation.
