You can see the platforms at Botanic to the right of Botanic Avenue, and those of City Hospital in the cutting betwen the Lisburn Road and Donegall Road overbridges.
Carrickfergus and Clipperstown are only slightly further apart at 23 chains.

Yep, allllllllll the way to Salford Crescent
DUblin Connolly-Dublin heuston is now impossible since Waterford-Rosslare closed
I know that the last train to Lincoln every day calls at both Newark stations.
Doesnt one of the trains on that route back up along the ECML to the other station? I know ive been through both (northgate and castle) on the lincoln => nottingham route

St Helens Central-St Helens Junction via Huyton, or via Wigan[using Parkside Junction i think].
Another way from Liverpool Lime Street to Liverpool Central via Hunts Cross.
Blackpool South to Blackpool North.

Blackpool South to Blackpool North.
And the 2225 from Nottingham calls at Castle at 2256 and Northgate at 2305.
At quite a few times of day you only need to go to Collingham and back to get between the two which is rather quicker than Nottingham and Grantham.

Whitehaven & Corkickle are very close together
And there's plenty of direct trains between them? Why do they suit this thread?

I don't know if it's been said yet, but what of the Bromley stations?
Or does that count as London? Or has it already been said?

Oh dear. Sorry 
The old Southern must be a gold mine for this sort of thing; you have Dorking, Bromley, Canterbury, Edenbridge, Maidstone, Farnborough and, previously, Bournemouth. And then I've probably missed some!

You can go:
Burscough Junction - Ormskirk - Sandhills - Southport - Burscough Bridge
OR
Burscough Junction - Ormskirk - Kirkdale - Kirkby - Wigan Wallgate - Burscough Bridge

You can also go from Warrington BQ to Warrington Central changing at Liverpool Lime Street.
In the past (before Bletchley trains were diverted) Bedford Midland Road and St Johns. Via Wellingborough/Northampton, probably.
as an aside:
thirty five minutes after boarding the train at Bletchley, Jericho disembarked at Bedford, bought a one way ticket to London... (and got an express to St Pancras) (Enigma, Robert Harris)

Is this National Rail only? How about Newcastle central - St. James' on T&W Metro?
Surely that can be done fairly quickly with a change at Monument? You *can* go a much longer way round but you don't have to. Otherwise you'd include loads of circle lines and just go the wrong way round.
Yeovil Junction - Yeovil Pen Mill
(change at Salisbury and Westbury, journey time with changes is 2 hours and 47 minutes
)
(and National Rail / Trainline won't give tickets/times for the journey)
EDIT: Not sure whether Yeovil Junction is allowed as 'Yeovil' or not... technically it is but geographically its nearest village is Stoford.
Blackpool North - Blackpool South
(change at Kirkham and Wesham - journey time c. 1 hour)
St Budeaux Victoria Road - St Budeaux Ferry Road (or vice versa)
(only 1 direct train per day - journey time 20 mins, otherwise 29 mins with 1 change 1 per day, 54 minutes with 1 change 1 per day, or 2 hours with 1 change 1 per day)
