Willesden Junction could claim much the same couldn't it?
Surely Stratford would beat that. SR 750V 3rd rail DC, OHLE 25kV and LU 660V 4 rail DC AND the system that the DLR uses

In that sense, Willesden is borderline, being a two-level junction station, and Farringdon is bang on w/ adjacent platforms and a "few" steps in-between.
Not a meaningful one though.
Not really, they're all part of the same complex; NLL is next to the OHLE platforms, which is next to the Central line platform which is sandwiched by the DLR platforms.Unique indeed, but rather in being two unique stations which just happen to have the same name. What's the distance between these? Half a kilometre?

Dont know if its being mentioned but i belive Birmingham New Street is the only station that may be served by all XC routes (correct me if im wrong)
Is Exeter St David's unique in that trains heading directly for London can depart simultaneously in opposite directions?
( Apologies if this has already been mentioned earlier in the thread! )
So you could have two trains leaving two London at the same time from there

You could say that Twickenham (via Strawberry Hill or direct), Chiswick (via Hounslow or direct) and Edinburgh (before the service was culled via Preston), but I think that now Exeter St Davids is definately the furthest away from London that you can do so.
Whereabouts in Gateshead?
Wherever the signals are
We've already had Corrour (408m) as highest mainline station. It is higher than Dent (351m)
Fenchurch street
only network rail managed station served by only one TOC
Exeter St Davids. Only station in England and Wales that offers a choice of 2 different direct services to London that depart in opposite directions.

What about Waterloo? only SWT, and Waterloo east is separate, managed by Southeastern
Sorry for this being very very late, but has this been corrected yet?
Dover Priory has 2 (3 if you count HS1) different direct services to London, 1 which departs in a different direction.
Also Ramsgate is the same.
Or do these not count as they have more than 2 different services?!!!
