Station association

[MidnightFlyer]

Manchester Piccadilly is another 'modern' station I hate.

 

[AlterEgo]

Runcorn also has a Virgin First Class Lounge.

 

[Eagle]

The same two TOCs serve Northampton.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lancaster and Northampton are both five platform stations.

 

[Eagle]

Lancaster used to have the suffix Castle, as did Northampton.

 

[AlterEgo]

Rugby is also a major station located on a junction.

 

[Class172]

Coventry is also served by LM and VT.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bletchley and Coventry stations were opened by the London and Birmingham Railway.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Cathays is also another relatively small station to have ticket gates.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Clitheroe and Cathays both have a bus interchange outside their railway stations.

Crediton is at the start of a line which is freight only most of the year but has a very limited summer weekend service

I hope that you are not assuming that Clithoroe shares the above definition with Crediton. Clitheroe has a regular passenger service to Manchester Victoria, plus the "seasonal specials".

London Paddington and Credition stations were designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Beyond Crediton to the south west is the line to Okehampton (freight only, with passenger services in summer) as is the line east beyond Clitheroe to Hellifield. Crediton also has an hourly service to Barnstaple (north west) one way and Exeter (east). As you say Clitheroe also has an hourly service (west) to Manchester.

London Bridge also shares NR's turquoise colour scheme.

Thank you for this clarification ...."Senior Moment" occurred..


Leeds and London Bridge stations are both managed by National Rail

 

[Eagle]

Birmingham New Street also has over 20 numbered platforms (counting letters to be separate platforms).

 

[Class172]

Bromsgrove is also served by LM and XC (albeit very limited).

 

[Nym]

Manchester Piccadilly Another station with 3 fast tph to Euston.

 

[Eagle]

Oxford is also the terminus of an upcoming electrification scheme.

 

[Ivo]

Tonbridge has aso recently welcomed a new franchised TOC.

 

[Robinson]

Beckenham Junction also has Southern terminating services and Southeastern through services.

 

[12CSVT]

Wimbledon is a terminus on the Croydon Tramlink

 

[Eagle]

Ealing Broadway also has the tube platforms parallel to the mainline ones.

 

[Ivo]

Stopping services between Paddington and Reading usually show Ealing Broadway as a terminus at one end, and Twyford at the other.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Didcot Parkway and Twyford are both five platform stations managed by FGW.

 

[Eagle]

Rotherham Central is also avoided by XC services.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Southend Central also has a "median" word in its name.

 

[Ivo]

Of all the fifteen letters that are found in "Southend Central", the highest number to still be found in the correct place in the name is not another Southend station as one might expect, but Southampton Central, which has 12. (Even if they are not in the right place, So'ton beats East by one point anyway.)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wilmslow and Southampton Central are both four platform stations and both have direct services to London.

 

[Class172]

Wolverhampton and Wilmslow are served by 4 TOCs.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wigan North Western and Wolverhampton are six platform stations that are managed by Virgin Trains.
