London Waterloo East also has platforms A, B, C and D

 

[LUYMun]

Trains from this station used to also run to Cannon Street, but after competition from the London Underground, services ceased as a wartime measure in 1916.

 

[Esker-pades]

There have been engineering work specials between the two up until that chord was severed during the Thameslink Programme.

 

[LUYMun]

Well the line between Waterloo East and Cannon Street is still closed, so surely that should count?

Inverness is also a 7 platform dead-end terminus.

Another station served daily by HSTs from two operators is Sheffield, albeit East Midlands Trains and Cross Country, rather than ScotRail and LNER.

 

[Esker-pades]

Cardiff Central also generally gets a 2tph InterCity service to London.

 

[Springs Branch]

With 12.9 million entries & exits, ORR statistics ranked Cardiff Central the 33rd busiest station on the national network in 2017/18.
Next in the league table at 34th position (with 12.6 million punters, according to ORR) was Farringdon.

 

[LUYMun]

The Metropolitan Railway (now Metropolitan line) was the first underground (metro, subway, etc) in the world, opening in 1863. It was first ran from Farringdon to Paddington before quickly expanding within the next few years.

Are we supposed to use the prefix of London on all the main line stations in the capital city that are managed by Network Rail?

 

[LUYMun]

No, I don't think so. Waterloo East and Cannon Street are to name a few.

 

[Springs Branch]

In post #1 the Quizmaster Mojo set a precedent with his illustrative example of quiz rules saying ".... the next person would reply Kings Cross" (no London and no apostrophe), so I suppose there is no requirement where the station is not ambiguous.
If you were posting Charing Cross or Waterloo, of course, the addition of "London" would be beneficial if that's the one you meant.

Stratford (London) is also served by TfL Rail.

 

[LUYMun]

Stratford is the 7th busiest station in Britain. The busiest is Waterloo.

 

[Springs Branch]

Waterloo (Merseyside) is also served by 3rd rail DC EMUs.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hightown was also opened by the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway in 1848.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Northbound trains from Hightown operate to Southport, and Southbound trains to Hunts Cross via Liverpool Central.

Gobowen is also a Grade II listed railway station.

 

[Springs Branch]

Hereford is another station managed by Transport for Wales whilst being located in England.

Redhill is also a four-platform station with a DfT category rating of C1.

Indeed that is the case and a subtle reminder that contributors should read the rules/guide note section on the very first posting on this thread....

 

[Esker-pades]

Redhill is also a four-platform station with a DfT category rating of C1.

Strood is also a terminus for trains from Tonbridge.

If it's self-explanatory I don't think it really matters, as I think we all know what we're referring to. Obviously a notable exception would be Waterloo as there's London Waterloo and Waterloo in Merseyside.

Strood is also a terminus for trains from Tonbridge.

Nearby Rochester is also a Southeastern-managed station with three platforms.

Did you see my posting # 15590? Incidentally, the rules section on the very first posting on this quiz states that Gatwick Airport railway station is managed by Network Rail which is incorrect.

I did.

Nearby Rochester is also a Southeastern-managed station with three platforms.

Sowerby Bridge also is on a different site to the original station site.

 

[Springs Branch]

Stalybridge also has had part of its station building re-purposed as a privately-operated licensed cafe.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Shipley is also a five-platform station with a DfT category rating of "D".

 

[Esker-pades]

Earlestown also has platform situated on all sides of a triangle junction.

The only services calling at Earlestown on Sundays are on the Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Airport / Wilmslow and Manchester Piccadilly to Chester routes.
