Enfield Lock was also originally opened by the Northern and Eastern Railway.

I believe that the station didn't open until 1855, although the line opened in 1840.
Moving on... Enfield Lock is the only London fare zone 6 managed by Greater Anglia. Similarly West Drayton is the only Great Western managed station in London fare zone 6.

Cannot for the life of me understand why I thought Enfield Lock opened in 1840.....my posting is now slightly re-worded.

Iver is the first station on the Great Western Main Line located outside Greater London, 14 miles 60 chains (23.7 km) down the line from London Paddington. West Drayton to the east is the last station on the same line located inside Greater London.

QUERY RAISED
My posting of Iver was following on from that of West Drayton, so you cannot post West Drayton AGAIN as the follow-on station from Iver, but need another station to be named.

You are quite right, my apologies. Try this one:
The operation of Langley station was also transferred to MTR Crossrail on behalf of Transport for London at the end of 2017 in preparation for the introduction of Elizabeth Line services.

Battersea Park station has a polychrome brick Venetian Gothic façade, and is a Grade 2 listed building designed by Charles Henry Driver. In 1867 he provided the designs for Box Hill & Westhumble station on the Leatherhead to Dorking line.

This entry is cancelled as it appeared to have been a duplication of the one above caused by the 0200 website temporary closure for updating.

The line through Newtown was once signalled using the RETB system and is now signalled by ERTMS. This is also the case at Barmouth

Ruabon also once had connections to a now-closed branch line.

The original station (to the north of the road bridge) at Church Stretton, was also designed by Thomas Mainwaring Penson (1818 – 1864) in 1852. It was closed in 1914, and the present station is to the south of the bridge.

Castleton is also another station which was built in very close proximity to its original and now closed first station.

I have been in all my railway archives to check on your query and can report that Castleton in Derbyshire has never had any railway station, so it is the Castleton station in Greater Manchester (whose original station was once called Blue Pits) that is the one in my posting.
There is a currently open station in North Yorkshire called Castleton Moor on the Esk Valley line, which was opened in April 1861 as the temporary terminus of the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway and this is the only station site that this station ever has had.

Parbold was also opened in 1855 by the Manchester and Southport Railway.

Goole also still has a working signal box in the vicinity of the station. All the signals under it's oversight are colour-lights unlike Parbold however, but it does also overlook and control a level crossing.
