Edinburgh Waverley is also a Network Rail managed station.

Johnuk123 · 18th June 2012, 09:59

I didn't realise that Network Rail had dropped Waverley from the station name until now.

Anyway Fort William is also a destination of the Caledonian Sleeper.

Mallaig is also served by the train called "The Jacobite"

Skegness is another seaside terminal station.

Ivo · 18th June 2012, 19:49

Scarborough also has more platforms than necessary

Paul Sidorczuk · 18th June 2012, 20:21

Manchester Oxford Road is also a five-platform station.

London Liverpool Street combines the names of two cities

Ivo · 18th June 2012, 21:31

Downgrading ourselves from cities to towns results in Birkenhead Hamilton Square matching the revised criterion.

James Street is also a railway station that has electric train services in a tunnel under a large river very close to the said river.

Clip · 19th June 2012, 04:34

St James Street as well as having a similar sounding name as James Street is actually the opposite given that it is bult in the open air above street level.

Paul Sidorczuk · 19th June 2012, 14:15

Not, of course, to be confused with St James Park railway station in the Exeter area.

Ivo · 19th June 2012, 15:09

Caerphilly is another station that sees some terminating services during the peaks.

Paul Sidorczuk · 19th June 2012, 15:33

Brithdyr is another former Rhymney Railway station that was opened in 1871.

Johnuk123 · 19th June 2012, 19:52

Bellgrove was opened in 1871 also.

Ivo · 19th June 2012, 22:36

Bellgrove is not to be confused with the not-too-distant Bellshill.
