Stations you've used but not left the NR network at

[ileikcaek]

For me I can only think of Oxenholme (changing to the Windermere train) and Llandudno Junction (That day on the North Wales line was a bad one and we were over two hours late getting back to Chester because somebody jumped off a bridge in front of a train)

 

[transportphoto]

I was then about to say Ely, but then I realised I have often made good use of the Tesco across the car park.

Smethwick GB
Wolverhampton
Stowmarket
Oxford
Sunderland

 

[Deerfold]

I have never heard of anyone actually leaving the station at Clapham Jnc.

I have - and I've never changed there.

Stations I have changes at without leaving include:

Preston
Carlisle
Crewe
Chester
Northampton (went through the barriers but did not leave the building)

 

[martinsh]

Think this is now my definitive list.

Ascot
Avonmouth
Bethnal Green
Bidston
Bowker Vale *
Bridgend
Chinley
Codsall (went to pub on platform)
Crayford
Crystal Palace
Dovey Junction
Ebbw Vale
Edge Hill
Elmers End
Gunnislake
Hadfield
Helsby
Kents Bank (got off by mistake, reboarded train when realised)

Maiden Newton
Mangotsfield *
Millers Dale *
Penarth
Princes Risborough
Seaford
Shipley
Slade Green
Stranraer

[LE Greys]

No "since closeds" I'm afraid, but plenty where I've never actually left the station.

• Finsbury Park (strangely, must have changed there dozens of times)
• Grantham
• Leeds
• Haymarket
• Leicester
• Preston
• Oxenholme
• Banbury
• Slough
• Taunton
• Exeter St David's
• Clapham Junction
• Woking
• Basingstoke

There are quite a few others where I headed out, took a picture from a bridge, then went straight back again. Dover Priory for one. Darlington, Newark, Tonbridge, Dundee and a few others are only off the list because of rail-replacement buses.

Gatwick Airport sort-of counts. If you consider the station to be part of the airport, I have never left airport premises at Gatwick.

 

[Intermodal]

London Marylebone for me - only been there on the very last return WSMR service and didn't leave the platform at all during the layover

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Llandudno Junction
York
Crewe
Rochdale.....when the line to Oldham was open.
Chester

Carlisle
Westbury
Newport
Crewe
Long Buckby

Stations where the only reason I've left the premises was to buy refreshments for the onward journey because the buffet was either closed, rubbish or nonexistent:

Llandudno Junction

[WestCoast]

Some I can immediately remember..

Probably a fair few missed off..

 

[londonbridge]

The only two I've got that definitely fit the criteria are Woking and Stockport-I had several others which were discounted after considering each one and managing to recall a time when I left the station for some reason.

 

[imagination]

Birmingham New Street
Haymarket
Newport (South Wales)
Clapham Junction
Ipswich
Preston (only because the train I was on broke down)

I cant think of any others but I know there are quite a few in south London from several years ago.

[RichmondCommu]

birmingham new street, changed trains once. Crewe, Stoke, Hooton, Bradford interchange, Shipley, Fitzwilliam, Preston, Skipton... i think that is it Nope, Derby too.

Now i know thats not true because in another thread you said that you'd travelled on a EMT football special to watch a 3rd round FA cup tie against the Rams! Having said that once you've seen Pride Park nothing else in Derby is worth looking at................
