Station association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Salford Crescent is also a two-platform station that was opened in 1987.

 

[VTPreston_Tez]

Manchester Piccadilly has also been proposed for new through platforms.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Glasgow Central is also a Network Rail managed station.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Edinburgh is the other station in Scotland managed by Network Rail.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

London Euston is also an eighteen-platform station.

 

[ValleyLines142]

London Liverpool Street is also managed by Network Rail, is also in the City of London and also has eighteen platforms.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

May as well go for the "hat-trick" here....


Edinburgh Waverley is also an inner-city eighteen platform station that has Network Rail management.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Go for it! Why not?

Derby also has a second name which isn't always used; Derby Midland it is in fact, but just referred to simply as Derby (as is Edinburgh Waverley known simply as Edinburgh).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lancaster is also recognised as an important railway station by its DfT category "B" status.

 

[Welshman]

Derby Midland was called such to distinguish it from Derby Friargate, which closed in 1964.
Edinburgh Waverley was called such to distinguish it from Edinburgh Princess St, which closed in 1965.
Lancaster was called Lancaster Castle until the closure of Lancaster Green Ayre in 1966.


Leeds

another station which has seen suffix changes, in this case following a merger of two stations and the closure of a third in the city- [i.e.the merging of Leeds New with Leeds Wellington to form Leeds City and the closure of Leeds Central to form simply "Leeds"]
Here endeth the lesson.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Liverpool Lime Street is also a Network Rail managed station

 

[Anon Mouse]

Liverpool South Parkway, another station in The Scouse where you can transfer to Merseyrail

 

[Robinson]

Watford Junction also sees both AC and DC EMUs in passenger service.

 

[Anon Mouse]

New Cross, another station that no longer see's LUL trains

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Dartford is also a four-platform former South Eastern Railway station that is managed by Southeastern.

 

[Ivo]

Woking is another Southern Region station just outside London that sees terminating "Metro" services.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Esher is also a former London and South Western Railway station that was opened in 1838 and is currently managed by SWT.

 

[Welshman]

Uttoxeter

also has a racecourse nearby.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Alsager is also a former two-platform North Staffordshire Railway station with a DfT catagory of F1 and managed by EMT.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Ivybridge is also a station with two platforms opened in 1848.

 

[Ivo]

Ivybridge is also a station with two platforms opened in 1848.

Sorry, but I don't think this is valid. The original Ivybridge station, which did open in 1848, closed nearly 50 years ago. I could have told you even without looking it up that the current Ivybridge station only opened in 1994.

As a precaution, I shall choose something simple that links both Alsager and Ivybridge, and is easy to continue from: Urmston is another two-platformed station whose name begins with a vowel.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Widnes, another station between Liverpool & Manchester that consits of 2 platforms

Ah okay, I wasn't sure whether it was the same station on the same site, so presumed it was.

Seamer also has direct services to Manchester Oxford Road and Liverpool Lime Street.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Thankfully that also applies to Widnes

Malton, another station in North Yorkshire with an horly service to Scarborough

(following on from Seamer of course!)

 

[ValleyLines142]

That worked out well!

Staveley also is only served by First TransPennine.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Manchester United FC Halt, also formed of one platform and served by 1 TOC (Northern)

 

[VTPreston_Tez]

...as is Burnley Barracks.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Burnley Manchester Road, another station in Burnley and served only by Northern

 

[ValleyLines142]

Manchester Oxford Road is also a station with the name of a town in it, that isn't the town where the station is in itself.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Ditto London Liverpool Street
