Genuine terminal stations

[4SRKT]

Their are proposlas going around to build Bradford Central station by extending through both stations. This was only about 3 months back - I reead it in RAIL

That'd be interesting. 100 years too late, but interesting nonetheless.

To answer an earlier question, any scheduled reversing at all invalidates the station according to the rules.

How long is a piece of string?

Oh, and piece of string is x cm long

Actually it would be n cm long - x in Maths signifies one particular number.

I'd say that a piece of string = 2(Len(string)/2), meself!

Of course; If I was an accountant, my counter question would have to be "How long do ye want it to be?"

Post 1 states that Bradfore Interchange doesn't count as almost nothing terminates there, so in that case Bourne End wouldn't count either.

Bourne End fails not only on this, but on the fact that until some time in the mid-70s the line went through from Maidenhead to High Wycombe.

Southminster
Saltburn
Whitby
Bishops Auckland
Chessington South etc..

Bishop Auckland had loadsa routes origionally and technically the platform ain't moved and also kept the through route for weardale used for blue circle and some passenger specials in the 80's/90's. the origional Saltburn station also had Whitby trains driving in and reversing.

Oh yer, I totally forgot about that service - how often does it run?

But to get out again the train has to reverse. Norwich is a terminus as is Great Yarmouth.

 

[Invincibles]

Does Norwich not fail because of the Great Yarmouth - Liverpool Street trains?

It is surprising how few there actually are really.

 

[4SRKT]

Norwich fails.

 

[deltic1989]

dont know if this has already been said but wouldn't Ryde Pier count as if you go much further you drown? and also Skeness becuse you hit a ford dealership if you dont terminate there? I may have toltally mis understood the rules here and accept that i may be totally wrong.

 

[4SRKT]

Both Ryde Pier Head and Skeg count, but without wishing to trawl through all the posts I'd guess that they've both been mentioned already.

Kings Lynn
Matlock
Buxton

trains from Matlock used to run through to Buxton so neither count.

Kings Lynn - services used to run through to Hunstanton.

Felixstowe

 

[gnolife]

Sheerness
Epsom Downs
Tattenham Corner
Hampton Court
Windermere
Bury (current Metrolink station)
Southport
Glossop
New Brighton
West Kirby
Buxton

Glossop services continue to Hadfield nowadays, and Buxton used to run through to Matlock

I believe I missed out my usually Irish thing I do in railway quizzes, so here goes:

Bangor
Larne Harbour
Portrush
Londonderry Waterside
Howth
Dublin Heuston
Sligo
Rosslare Europort
Cobh
Limerick
Galway

If you're going down that line you could also say Ballina, Westport, and possibly Tralee (not sure that there was never any through trains there).

Limerick on the other hand is wrong as there is one train per week from Heuston to Ennis that reverses there.

 

[4SRKT]

Ballina, Westport and Tralee all went further in the past. That Ennis train does screw up Limerick though.
