[matt]

Apparently, there have been more stations called Newport in Britain than any other name.

Used to be Newport (IOW) before the line closed.

 

[Mojo]

How about Hayes, Harlington and Hayes & Harlington?

Apparently, there have been more stations called Newport in Britain than any other name.

Wouldn't surprise me, but there are only two (South Wales and Essex) at present. Whitchurch has three (Shropshire, Cardiff and Hampshire).

[gnolife]

Adlington Lancs
Adlington Ches

Newton (Lanarks)
Newton (Cheshire) - called 'for Hyde' to distinguish from above

Newton for Hyde is definitely NOT a cheshire station!
its a Gtr Manc station, or if you had to put it as non-GM it would be Derbyshire!
grrr.....

 

[MidnightFlyer]

[MidnightFlyer]

It was officially incorperated as pafrt of Hyde in the 30s, which was in cheshire.

 

[Lampshade]

So if Southport is in (urgh) Merseyside, where's Banks, which is part of Southport?

Geographically in Lancashire but administratively in Merseyside, the same could be said of Newton, officially part of Hyde but geographically in Derbyshire.

 

[Proud Salopian]

Whitchurch (Cardiff)
Whitchurch (Hampshire)
Whitchurch (Shropshire)

 

[MikeWh]

Bethnal Green (NR)
Bethnal Green (TfL) - I think the final example left of a pair like this, entirely separate stations, not immediately next to each other, not feasible interchanges. Wood Green used to have a similar pair, but the NR one was renamed Alexandra Palace.
