Hazel Grove is another electrified station which sees a very limited electric service.

Sorry - which station did this relate to? I ask because I'm not exactly sure as to which other station has an electric service; is one of MCO and SAL actually equipped to take electric stock then? I honestly didn't believe either could?

I do believe it was intended to be as a response to my posting of Manchester Oxford Road which in itself was posted in response to a posting debate on the previous page, which as you will find from a reading of the postings before and after mine, were rather querulous. Though when all matters were considered, my posting of Manchester Oxford Road was indeed ruled to be a valid posting.

Fleet is another former London and South Western railway station that was opened in 1847.

Llandudno Junction and Wrexham General are both served by both Arriva Trains Wales and Virgin Trains and managed by the former.

Beckenham Junction also has six trains per hour to London and also has a nearby station with a Hill suffix.

Unless the Midland Metro has magically disappeared, the same is also true of Birmingham Snow Hill. (Unfortunately I can't check Wiki to see if it has disappeared for obvious reasons :lol:)

The East Anglian's other main port of call, besides London of course, is Norwich.

Colchester Town formerly had a unique suffix, as Manchester Piccadilly does now.

My thanks to Paul for an interesting insight into this [by PM] :)
