Genuine terminal stations

Kyle of Lochalsh

 

[Reddog785]

The London terminals don't count, except London King's Cross and St. Pancras International. King's Cross St. Pancras is a tube only service.
The only ones that I can thinks of are:
Windsor & Eton (both Riverside and Central stations)
Slough (Platform 1)
Lymington Pier
Brockenhurst (Lymington Shuttle platform)
Swanage
Minehead?

 

[Nick W]

I'm going to argue for the removal of London Liverpool Street, since platform 1 and 2 were once through lines, so I feel the current sub-surface lines should therefore considered part of the same building (in line with Paddington).

I'm also going to debate London Waterloo since it was both built and rebuilt with through platforms.

 

[RPM]

Aylesbury Vale Parkway. Built as a terminus, but with a view to it becoming a through station at some time in the future.

 

[LE Greys]

Do preserved lines count?

If so, I'm going to add
Oxenhope
Minehead
Holt (line was extended from Weybourne to the current site after being pulled up)
Kingswear
Ongar
Swanage

And out of cheek:
Snowdon Summit

 

[aspierail]

Shoeburyness

 

[Nightrider]

Milngavie
Helensburgh Central
Largs
Ardrossan Harbour
Lanark
Saltburn


OK, along with everyone else's contributions, that must be Scotland and Northern England dealt with. Any more further south?

East Kilbride
Wemyss Bay
Stranraer

 

[Railsigns]

East Kilbride

Doesn't count - the line used to continue further.

 

[CarterUSM]

Aye, it went to blantyre with an intermediate halt at Calderwood glen.

 

[william]

Current Saltburn station.
Pembroke Dock
Holyhead

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Hertford East used to have a connection to Hertford North, come on Ajax, surprised you havent already picked up on that one!!

 

[Scousefandan]

Caterham?

 

[francisoldfield]

Portsmouth Harbour

that was going to be my guess, cant go much further than that!!

 

[OMGitsDAVE]

South Shields station was just north of the metro station (twas one of the few in the NE with one of those lovely tiled network maps).

Hartlepool still has one of those maps!

& Does Skegness count? :/

 

[ainsworth74]

Hartlepool still has one of those maps!

There are a few still kicking around there is one at Middlesbrough another at Whitby and I think there is another one possibly at Scarborough. But they certainly are nice, I wish someone would put a modern one up!

 

[4SRKT]

There's one at York still.

 

[imagination]

Marlow

 

[ert47]

Not sure if this was posted in the past 8 pages, but didnt London Waterloo have through platforms ages ago connecting with Waterloo East?

 

[142094]

There's one at York still.

One at Tynemouth as well, possibly another one at Whitley Bay IIRC. The one at South Shields is now in the museum.

Certainly did, and the remains of them are now Platforms 1 and 2 (I think). Not sure if they got much use, although I think that the Channel mail trains used to pass through there for a handover to the SER.

As for genuine terminal stations, I've been scraping the barrel and come up with a few:

Leicester North (as opposed to Belgrave and Birtsall)
Lakeside (as in Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway)
Hythe (as in Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch)
Tywyn Wharf
Devil's Bridge (may have had that one before)

.

Not 1 and 2, more like 11 and 12 - the link was directly underneath what is now the footbridge to Waterloo East; the rail bridge is still there as the "ground level" under the footbridge and can be seen from just north of the station from the trains and also from the lower level road about 50ft underneath.

This is why the central arch at Waterloo is so big - the link tracks originally ran through it!

 

[duffman82]

Pwllheli, Heysham Port, Windermere, New Brighton, Llandudno, Rose hill marple, Scarborough.

 

[4SRKT]

Rose Hill Marple used to be a through station.

I'm not old enough to remember the through tracks, but I am old enough to have used the ground level under the footbridge. Before the current bridge was built it used to be significantly lower and emerge on the other side of the elevated road in front of the station. Then there was a pedestrian crossing to get you to the mainline station.

Will not start on the countless Suburban London termini... Shepperto, Chessington South etc..

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Stansted Airport (was going to be a through station but never made it)

Will not start on the countless Suburban London termini... Shepperto, Chessington South etc..

Stansted Apt was meant to be a through line to Braintree, and the main platforms were left undisurbed at the terminal end (ie. open and unblocked) should this ever be required

Chessington South was meant to be extended to leatherhead, but then the War came along, as did greenbelt land, and this stopped any further progress

Nice info there!... I always wondered about Chessington South

I always thought Stansted was made so that it could loop the airport and rejoin the line to Cambridge =S
