I initially posted this but after re-reading your initial post removed it because Rolfe Street (as for any other xxx Street station could be considered part of the location, otherwise places like Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Moor Street could be considered (but not Snow Hill as the business areas around the station are known as Snow Hill in common conversation).
Hull Paragon isn't known by this any more, at least outside of the area? I think the same for Carlisle Citadel (always makes me cringe everytime I hear someone says this). What's the situation regarding Edinburgh? CIS at stations and on trains (at least the XC Voyagers I see here) just refer to the station as "Edinburgh," as does LDB (but not the station info page on NRES).
What about:
Ryde Pier Head
Ryde Esplanade
With regards to Rolfe Street, I think that's just my having worded it less than perfectly. The difference with examples such as Braintree Freeport and Winnersh Triangle is that "Freeport" and "Triangle" are not actually proper suffixes. If the street name was "Smethwick Rolfe Street", then a station of the same name would not count. Thus,
most suffixes that refer to a street do count. You will just get the occasional one, such as the as-yet-unopened Shoreditch High Street, which would not count because "High Street" is not actually a suffix in this case. (Not that "High Street" would count anyway, because it is not unique.)
As for Carlisle, Hull and Edinburgh, each has its own unique case. Carlisle is very rarely referred to as Carlisle Citadel. Indeed, this forum (and Wikipedia) aside, I have never known the suffix to be used. Hull is more awkward, because "Paragon" is actually the name of the interchange, so if anything it should
in theory have a stronger case now. However, I have never heard "Paragon" in a station announcement. And Edinburgh is even more ridiculous, especially with XC, because while XC trains do not use "Waverley", XC timetables do! I honestly believe that Edinburgh should count, while Carlisle should not. Hull, on the other hand, is up for debate...
And lastly, just to clarify, the Ryde pair have been.
A few more from Ivo:
Leyton Midland Road
Liverpool South Parkway
Bootle Strand
Weston Milton*
*Controversial because the area is actually called Milton. Having said that, though, it could be treated in the same way as, among others, London Paddington.
Simply provide a station whose suffix is completely unique. But beware for the few whose "suffix" could reasonably be considered part of the location!
. However, as for the suffix itself, there is no other station to bear the suffix "Midland Road" at present. At least, not according to the Usage Data from 2007/08, which I consulted for this very reason.
