Rochdale station is on the Calder Valley Line (previously known as the Caldervale Line); one of the Easterly termini is Selby.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Knaresborough is also a Grade II listed railway station.

 

[Esker-pades]

Brighouse also has 2 trains per hour to Leeds.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hebden Bridge was also opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway in 1840.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Horsforth is another station with turn back facilities that only see use in the morning and evening peaks. During the daytime, all trains here are scheduled to operate as through services.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Barton-on-Humber is also a DfT category F1 station that was opened in 1849.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

From Monday to Saturday there is generally a two-hourly service from Barton-on-Humber to Grimsby Town and Cleethorpes.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ulceby was also opened by the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway in 1848.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

New Clee station is also on the Barton Line.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Conwy is also a station where calling services stop by request.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ty Croes is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened by the Chester and Holyhead Railway in 1848.

 

[JohnB57]

Ty Croes translates to English as "Cross House" and, so far as I can ascertain, is one of only two surviving stations with names directly linked simply to a settlement where two roads crossed. The other survivor is Cross Gates, then just a small village a few miles from Leeds. "Gate", in this sense, is from an old Norse word "gat", meaning "road" or "path".

Slightly tenuous, I admit.

Is that last posting strictly in accordance with the rules of this quiz?

I'm not entirely sure it fits in with this as it sounds more about the settlement than the railway:

... and please ensure that all associations are rail related: a separate game exists for non rail related links.

but I'm happy to be corrected.

Hi, this posting is more appropriate for Settlement Association instead of Station Association

Continuing from Ty Croes:

Ty Croes is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened by the Chester and Holyhead Railway in 1848.

Hawarden Bridge is another TFW served request stop.

 

[Esker-pades]

Chester is also one stop away from Shotton.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

A large clock, manufactured by J. B. Joyce & Co, was originally located centrally on the front of the station, but was moved to the western half of the facade following the construction of the Queen Hotel, which obscured it. Another of the clocks manufactured by the company can be seen at Aberystwyth station.

Shepley is another 2 platform station served only by Northern with TransPennine Express services passing through a few times per day, and only at the extremities of each day.
