Station association

[Ivo]

The present Wolverhampton station was once the de facto High Level station in the area. This also applies to the Rhymney Line Heath High Level (the difference being its Low Level "sister" has been reopened).

 

[Class172]

Smethwick Galton Bridge is another station that has different levels for different services.

 

[gg1]

Baglan was also opened in the 1990s

Heath High Level only has one level :P



Baglan also opened during privatization.

 

[Ivo]

Mein Gott. You both put the same thing!

Menheniot is also a local station that sees HSTs running through it.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Liskeard and Menheniot were stations that were opened by The Cornwall Railway

 

[Class172]

Worcester Shrub Hill and Liskeard both have 3 platforms.

 

[gg1]

Despite being the physically larger of it's settlements two stations, Worcester Shrub Hill is not the busiest in terms of passenger numbers. The same is true of Rugeley Trent Valley.

 

[Class172]

Barnt Green is another station served by 170s and EMUs.

 

[gg1]

Cheadle Hulme is also a 4 platform station located on a Y shaped junction.

 

[Class172]

Tamworth is another 4 platformed station.

 

[Bedpan]

Lichfield, another station with platforms on the Trent Valley line at right angles to platforms on a line radiating from Birmingham.

 

[Class172]

Bescot Stadium is also served by class 323s.

 

[Ivo]

St James's Park, in Exeter, also functions as a local halt for and shares its name with a Football League stadium.

St James's Park, in Exeter, also functions as a local halt for and shares its name with a Football League stadium.

Ivo.... I am surprised by your station name above. The station in Exeter is called St James Park, whereas St James's Park is a station on the London Underground. However, letting bygones be bygones, I will say...

Manchester United Halt is also a station for a stadium that serves an English football club.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Manchester United Halt is also a station for a stadium that serves an English football club.

The station is actually called Manchester United Football Ground, not 'Halt'

Syston is also a single platform station on a line with more than one track (if that makes sense).

 

[Ivo]

From Syston to Dronfield; another "local" station on the MML (but in practice in a fairly large town which may or may not count as a suburb).

I am surprised by your station name above. The station in Exeter is called St James Park, whereas St James's Park is a station on the London Underground.

D'oh. My bad. It is natural habit to put the "'s" in because I usually use "St James's (Park)" in relation to either London or Newcastle.

I thought it was Manchester United Football Ground Halt hock: Aren't they supposed to be considering closing it and reopening a short distance away?

Actually, on that point, if ST JAMES PARK (see?) and others are full time stations, why is OT's station only a one platform halt?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Quite correct, young gentleman....It is contained within current transport plans and a name of "White City" has been proposed, which was the name of a greyhound racing track that was demolished (save for the main gateway area) and is now what is commonly referred to as a "retail park".

Gainsborough Central is another station operated by Northern Rail in the East Midlands.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whaley Bridge and Gainsborough Central are two platform stations managed by Northern Rail.

 

[12CSVT]

Pontlottyn is on a passenger-only route that is on steep inclines for most of the way and often served by class 150s

 

[Class172]

Hartlebury is also served by Class 150s.

 

[Ivo]

Hatton is local station at the opposite end of the route from Hartlebury. However, there is only one direct service between the two a day (as dictated by their respective infrequent service patterns), the 0629 departure from Leamington Spa to Worcester Foregate Street.

 

[Class172]

Colwall is another small station managed by LM.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hanborough and Colwall are single platform stations on the Cotswold Line

 

[W-on-Sea]

...and back to the Essex coast: misspellings/variant names, both now corrected.

Although in Long Hanborough, Hanborough station was formerly called Handborough. The station in Walton-on-the-Naze was for a long time called Walton-on-Naze

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chapel-en-le-Frith and Walton-on-the-Naze both have "two word" central area descriptions to their names.

 

[Class172]

Chester is also served by Northern.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Chester is also served by ATW and Northern.

ATW at Chapel-en-le-Frith?!

 

[Class172]

ATW at Chapel-en-le-Frith?!

I was looking at Newton-le-Willows on a map at the time I typed it.

Ignore the ATW bit.
