Trivia: Non-consecutive stations on the same line named after the same place

[swt_passenger]

East Worthing, Worthing, West Worthing (if the trio hasn’t been mentioned before)

They won’t have been mentioned because there’s no stations with other place names between them…

How are we defining "place"? Could I cite the River Exe as the namesake of Exeter St David's/Exeter Central and Exmouth?

A couple more suggestions:

Once Ripple Road opens as an intermediate station, Barking and Barking Riverside will qualify.

Does anyone know if there's a Southeastern metro loop service that goes via both Welling and Sidcup? If so, it would call Bexleyheath—Barnehurst—Crayford—Bexley (or vice versa).

Not sure if anyone's mentioned Clapham Junction—Wandsworth Road—Clapham High Street yet?

And some more river themes:

There might be through trains from Newark(-on-Trent) to Stoke-on-Trent but I believe those are different Rivers Trent

There are trains from Richmond (upon Thames) to Staines(-upon-Thames) and Kingston (upon Thames), and from both Richmond and Kingston to Sunbury(-on-Thames) but from none of these stations can you reach the only nearby station named after the river, Walton-on-Thames.

No....it's the same river.

Hampden park > Eastbourne > Hampden park

Ah yes I see that now, thanks! That's an enormous detour the river takes, from zooming in to Stoke I assumed it wound its way down to the Severn!

That could have it's own trivia thread: stations named after chocolate bars. Bournville being the only other one I think.

Only twice so far, in posts #6 and #19 on page 1 last Monday…

Lytham (named after Lytham St Annes) - Ansdell & Fairhaven - St Annes-on-the-Sea (named after Lytham St Annes).

Lytham (named after Lytham St Annes) - Ansdell & Fairhaven - St Annes-on-the-Sea (named after Lytham St Annes).

Although strictly speaking, the names of both stations (Lytham and St Annes) pre-date the 1922 merger of the two towns to form "Lytham St. Annes".
