Worcester Foregate Street, which has been mentioned above, is fun because it is not a double track station, it is two parallel single tracks. It is therefore possible but probably unlikely to get a double departure from both platforms at the same time going in the same direction.
Once when I was moaning about WMR putting a two car set on a late night train to Worcester Shrub Hill. I said it was presumably on the basis that nobody wanted to go to Shrub Hill but what about the 14 stations between Birmingham and Worcester via Stourbridge. A fellow passenger said that Shrub Hill was like the TV programme 'Pointless'. (There will probably now be a backlash from those who actually use Shrub Hill.)
