Station association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thanks for the clarification....PM on the way.

Manchester Oxford Road is still the clue for the next one.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I think the hourly Manchester Airport - Manchester Piccadillly service mainly runs to serve the towns in between e.g. Gatley, Burnage, Mauldeth Road, East Didsbury, Heald Green etc, and to add to the Crewe - Manchester Piccadilly via Airport service. It's not specifically branded, unlike Heathrow/Stanstead/Gatwick Express.

From Manchester Oxford Road, I can associate that Hazel Grove is another station in Greater Manchester to be served by East Midlands Trains (albeit a limited service).

 

[Class172]

Worcester Shrub Hill also has an arboreal reference in its name.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pershore and Worcester Shrub Hill are both stations on the line used by the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Haddiscoe is a station that is actually nearer to another town; as is Pershore station, which is actually in the town of Pinvin.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Berney Arms and Haddiscoe are both NXEA managed stations on the Wherry Lines route.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Altnabreac is another absolutely hilariously isolated station, with about 3 services a day, the station being a request stop and the nearest road being about four miles away.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sugar Loaf and Altnabreac are both non-English single platform stations with patronage mainly from visitors to the area rather than local residents.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Dingle Road is another station in Wales classified as a halt.

 

[12CSVT]

Stourbridge Town is a single platform station with a high frequency service

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tonypandy and Dingle Road were stations opened by the Taff Vale Railway.

 

[150222]

I'm confused.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stourbridge Town is a single platform station with a high frequency service

Falmouth Docks is also a single platform terminal station on a single track branch line.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Rather lame, but Barry Docks (and Grimsby Dock & Pembroke Dock) is another station also serving docklands.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Heysham Port and Barry Docks have a rail connection to a nautical environment. (A more cunning way of "stating the obvious").

 

[ValleyLines142]

Haha!

Polesworth also has a parliamentary service.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

......as does Denton

 

[ValleyLines142]

Gainsborough Central also.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brigg and Gainsborough Central both saw the services of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Knottingley also opened in 1848.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whitley Bridge and Knottingley are both managed by Northern Rail and were the two original stations to be first built on the line proposed by the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railway in their prospectus and carried out by their successor company after amalgamation.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Marple is another station whose passengers numbers have decreased over the past two years.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Strines and Marple were very early two-platform stations (1865/1866) constructed for the Marple, New Mills and Hayfield Railway and are currently managed by Northern Rail.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Hazel Grove is another station within the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport.

 

[Robinson]

Manchester Oxford Road is another electrified station that doesn't have a frequent electric service.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lewes and Manchester Oxford Road are both five-platform stations.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Barnt Green is also a V-shaped station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Butlers Lane and Barnt Green are stations on the Cross-City Line

 

[Class172]

Walsall is also served by class 323s.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

....as is Heald Green...amonst other units
