Stations like that scare me :P
A slightly more 'busier' station, London Liverpool Street also opened in 1874.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, Fenchurch Street is the only other London terminus whose services are normally all worked by AC electric traction.

Very much so...
...something wrong with Euston or King's Cross?

Euston has 221s; Kings Cross has HSTs and 180s...
Having said that, I did just realise I needed to change the wording of my original post to take into account that some services from Liverpool Street are locomotive-hauled!

Oh. I missed the word "only". But by your use of HSTs, wouldn't that also disqualify LST because of the 90?

Would love to have related this to the fact that uniquely among London termini Fenchurch Street does not have a direct link to the London Underground; however, this is the only example, which is a shame, ah well.
Therefore I will say London Waterloo is also a London terminus managed by Network Rail although only served by one operator. (Fenchurch Street is served only by c2c; Waterloo is only served by South West Trains).

Are we allowed to use "heritage" stations on this quiz?
David Goddard

Quoting Mojo's initial post:
I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible!
I don't think I could have thought of one any more different!

My apologies and thank you for the rules reminder. I will endeavour to respond to your posting of OAKWORTH in a similar vein.
Penrhyndeuraeth is also a single platform station that was opened in 1867 and serves the area of Portmerion where "The Prisoner" was filmed.

Minffordd is the station for Portmeirion, I believe.
Dingle Road is also a single-platform halt managed by Arriva.

Car journeys can confuse matters somewhat. Portmerion is 1.5 miles west of Penrhyndeudraeth on the A487, signposted at Minffordd.

It may be quicker in walking distance maybe, I'm not sure. I went there in 2010 but can't remember transport links. Oops!

What a coincidence, I was just looking at Highbury & Islington on Wikipedia and Drayton Park just so happens to be the next station on First Capital Connect's Northern City Line!!
City Thameslink is also a station in London with two platforms managed by First Capital Connect.

Waun-Gron Park is also a station with two platforms, managed and served solely by one operator (Arriva Trains Wales) and also has no service on a Sunday.

I think that you will find that Rufford with its Northern Rail connections instead of ATW meets that same similar connection.
