If you can class England and Wales as different countries...Am I correct in thinking that this is the only UK station that is in a different country from the place it serves?

Chester City FC ground has one goal in Wales an the others in England.
Saltney (now closed) was very close to the border - not sure in fact which side it was on
Others? How many do they have then? Maybe that is why, they always lose with only having one goalkeeper, on the team sheet..
Whilst posting in the constituency thread, I noticed that Knighton station is in England but the town it serves is in Wales.

Dovey Junction was famous for having parts of it in three counties though it lost the status when RETB was introduced and the semaphores went.
In Llanymynech, the boundary runs through the middle of a pub so when Wales was dry on a Sunday, part of the pub was open and the other part closed.Llanymynech station was indeed in Shropshire; despite the slightly Welsh name! The border actually runs down the centre of the main street at one point!
Menai Bridge station was on a different landmass from the town. The station was on the mainland, the town on Anglesey!
Of course, you could say the station was named after the bridge rather than the town!
I seem to recall there's a reopening plan for a station on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire Border with one platform in each county.
Regarding Dovey/Dyfi Junction, would its parts be in the counties of Gwynedd, Dyfed, and Powys?
In peace

Andorra is a member of the UN though - as I understand it the French President shares the title of Head of State. The Republic of China, Palestine and Transnistria may have their own governments, but they aren't member states of the UN.Also Pointless contradict themselves. Andorra always counts as a country but it isn't sovereign as the French President is the king of Andorra. Similar Pointless errors include Bosnia & Herzogovina, Cook Islands which are both Pointless countries, although Cook Islands is sometimes shown as wrong!
I find the BBC's definition as biased because it assumes the Republic of China (Taiwan), Palestine, Transnistria and many others aren't countries even though they have their own government. Also they always take the side against the Greek government when they allow "Macedonia" instead of FYR of Macedonia.

That may or may not be, I was responding to the statement that the examples given show inconsistency.Isn't it more important that a country exists in the hearts and minds of it's people (like Euskadia) rather than what the UN and Richard Osman thinks ?

Indeed. Or Baarle-Nassau.... or perhaps some complicated combination of the two....cool110 said:If only there was a station in Baarle-Hertog.

Wales is not a country, it's a Principality.
