Since this station was opened in 1846....what make and model of car was it named after ?



Aldrington is also a station on the West Coastway line

Maybe I should change this to 'Ford ALSO SHARES its name with a car' :P

....Hove also is a station on the WCL.

Of course there are two stations at Newark, NorthGate and Castle.
The only other station with Castle as its second word is Rowland's Castle

Inverness has a daily service to London as well, and is also a terminus station located at the point of a triangle that permits through running to places further afield. (ie Carmarthen you can go even further West, Inverness you can go even further North)

My main line local, Cardiff Central, also has seven platforms, and has direct services to London (although admittedly they are every 30 minutes :P).

Harrogate also has a daily East Coast service to London Kings Cross (this is going back to the association with Frome and Inverness!).

Bournville is also a station with two platforms managed by London Midland that lies on the other end of the Cross City Line with a high frequency (of every ten minutes).

I did think you'd mention that one ;)


Southport also has a mixture of Merseyrail services to Liverpool and Northern services to Manchester Victoria/Airport.

When did Kirkby have services to Manchester Airport:roll::shock:....to be compared to Southport.......Never mind, in a nautical vein, let us say....


Blackpool North is another seaside resort served by Northern.

I suppose that only applies to Manchester Victoria :P

Leicester

another place which has seen its Central station closed.

Derby is also an East Midlands Trains hub with a busy CrossCountry service. It also lies on the Midland Main Line to London St Pancras.
