Not the next station

[IanD]

I think these:

Castleford - Sherburn in Elmet
Castleford - Selby
Castleford - Doncaster

 

[clagmonster]

Streatham Hill to Tulse Hill.

I believe there is a parliamentary (essentially a stock move from Streatham Hill sidings run in service, but you can have this in the other direction.

 

[ole man]

Sandbach to Northwich?

 

[Robinson]

Ebbsfleet International to Northfleet would be another one.

 

[steamybrian]

Ebbsfleet International to Northfleet would be another one.

No...!
There is no direct line between them


I will add -

Sandling to Calais (via Channel Tunnel)

Lee to Grove Park (via Lee Spur)

Totton to Redbridge is only one or two a day.

 

[Robinson]

Totton to Redbridge is only one or two a day.

Ditto Addlestone to Byfleet & New Haw.

If we're talking freight-only curves, Manea-Shippea Hill/Downham Market, since it is possible to get between the two while avoiding Ely, but all passenger trains reverse in the station.

Shippea Hill or Littleport (closer than Downham Market) to Manea is possible, but not the other way round as the West Curve is only signalled westbound.

Hourly on Sundays!

Should have checked that (don't even know my home area).

 

[Rich_D3167]

Saxilby & North Hykeham.

Stoke-on-Trent to Rugeley Trent Valley (although not in the other direction) is a valid answer as well, unless I've missed something...

 

[Eagle]

Stoke-on-Trent to Rugeley Trent Valley (although not in the other direction) is a valid answer as well, unless I've missed something...

And, just down the line, Tamworth to Polesworth and Polesworth to Atherstone (again, not vice versa).

Would the LM Euston to Crewe services not cover this, even though they are not consecutive stations on said route?

Using the direct line, you are definitely correct.

 

[EM2]

Forest Gate and Woodgrange Park. The chord is used by freight services and also c2c, but the latter calls at neither station.

 

[David Goddard]

Bottesford to Ancaster (all scheduled services reverse at Grantham).

Apart from:
0955 Nottingham - Skegness
1614 Nottingham - Sleaford
0655 Nottingham - Sleaford (SO)

1730 Skegness - Nottingham
2102 Skegness - Nottingham
0650 Sleaford - Nottingham (SO)

The 0955 Nottingham-Skegness service doesn't call at Bottesford or Ancaster; The 1614 and 0655 services are both via Lincoln.

Same applies in the other direction; both the Skegness-Nottingham services you mention skip both Ancaster and Bottesford, the Sleaford-Nottingham service goes via Lincoln.

I stand corrected about all trains reversing at Grantham, but Bottesford to Ancaster was still a valid answer on this thread.
