Station association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kirkby Stephen and Lazonby & Kirkoswald are both stations on the Settle and Carlisle line (with Viking connotations in their titles)

 

[Ivo]

Exeter St Thomas also has a male name in it.

Time for a non-literary association methinks :roll:

 

[ValleyLines142]

Blackpool North is another station served by Northern 158s.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Can you clarify that last connection with Northern 158's ? I don't think Northern 158's go anywhere near Exeter.

 

[Eagle]

Blackpool North is another station served by Northern 158s.

...but Exeter St Thomas isn't (unless the franchise maps have been thoroughly redrawn since I last checked).

 

[ValleyLines142]

Sorry, there was a clash of posts.

We're at Exeter, Ivo's post was first.

Pinhoe is another of Exeter's stations.

 

[Eagle]

Edinburgh Park is also near to an airport but has no bus link to it.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Meadowhall also serves a very large retail complex

 

[Ivo]

Yate also sees XC services running through it without stopping.

(Look! A non-literary association! )

 

[Eagle]

Elmers End is also a tram terminus

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yate also sees XC services running through it without stopping.

Penryn and Yate are both two-platform stations that are managed by FGW

 

[Eagle]

Roche is also three stations away from a terminus.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Being a little lazy here...

Falmouth Docks and Roche are single-platform stations managed by FGW

 

[Ivo]

Falmouth Docks is a terminus in a fairly small town that has more than one station. The same is true of Harwich Town.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Heysham Port and Harwich Town are both single-platform terminal stations in areas where there are ferries operating.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Polesworth is a station with one train per day (1U38 0726 to Crewe; 0641 from Northampton).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Denton also has a very long time in-between its service provision.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Leyton Midland Road is a station that does not have a direct link to a Londonn terminal, despite being in London itself. This is associated with Denton, which does not have a direct link to a Manchester terminal, despite being in Manchester itself.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manchester Victoria and Leyton Midland Road both suffered bomb damage during the 1939-1945 war.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Wimbledon is another station with interchange with tram, rail and bus services.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

As is West Croydon

 

[Class172]

West Croydon and Mitcham Junction serve as interchanges between NR services and Tramlink services.

 

[Ivo]

Loughborough Junction also no longer functions as a junction in the same way that it used to (the difference being that at least Mitcham Junction still exists as a junction in some form for passengers whereas Loughborough Junction does not).

 

[ValleyLines142]

Essex Road is another station in zone 2 managed by First Capital Connect.

 

[Platform 1]

Kent House - is in a London borough and has a county in its name.

 

[Ivo]

Kent House is listed as an official interchange with the similarly-named Clock House.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Shortlands is another station with 4 platforms in zone 4.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hastings and Shortlands are both managed by Southeastern

 

[ValleyLines142]

Waterloo is another station named after a battle.

 

[Robinson]

Waterloo is another station named after a battle.

Which Waterloo?
