Shippea Hill is extremely low above sea level. (The ordnance survey map shows a spot height of -1 nearby).

Wolverhampton also sees a regular service to London, Birmingham and Manchester, and a once a week Parliamentary train.

Builth Road also had platforms at High Level and Low Level, of which the latter has also closed - the same as Wolverhampton.

Longcross is (I think) the only other SWT-managed station to not receive a regular service during the day on Mondays-Fridays.

Portsmouth Arms is another wayside station with limited service named after a nearby pub.
Funnily enough, they both receive three trains each way per day Mondays to Saturdays, but five on Sundays.

It was the western extremity of the Callander & Oban Railway until that railway reached the latter town in 1880. The semaphore signalling was removed and signal box closed when the Radio Electornic Token Block (RETB) system was introduced. This is controlled by the signal centre at Banavie.

Which is the only cardinal point on the national rail network that isn't a terminus. Opposing it on the other side of the compass is Lowestoft, the most easterly station.

The Earl of Scarbrough (note the spelling), a major landowner along the east coast of England, was responsible for the development of another great seaside town, including the railway - Skegness.

Apparently Bristol Parkway is the 3rd-most heavily-used station in the West of England.
The 2nd-most is Bath Spa.
