Station association

[EbbwJunction1]

Mr William Parker was Station Master at Durham between 1917 and 1922, before moving to Harrogate, where he worked in the same post between 1922 and 1927.

 

[Springs Branch]

Chester is also served by four TOCs.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bournemouth was also the scene of a rail accident in 1949.

Ashford International is another station at which it is common for a portion of a train to detach and terminate.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The Marshlink line from Ashford International to Ore is one of the few in the south east that has not yet been electrified, and is mostly single track beyond Appledore, which limits capacity, although there is a passing loop at Rye.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Etchingham is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1851.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The platforms at Frant are also linked by a footbridge.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wadhurst also had its buildings designed by the architect William Tress.

 

[Springs Branch]

According to ORR statistics, there were 395,342 entries and exits at Wadhurst in the 2019/20 period.
This is a very similar level of usage to the 395,518 figure for Treherbert.

Falmouth Docks is also a single-platform terminal station that was opened in 1863.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

A camping coach was provided at Falmouth by the Western Region between 1962 and 1964; in the final year, two were also provided at Henley-on-Thames.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yetminster was also opened by the Great Western Railway in 1857.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Chetnole is also a request stop station.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Penhelig is also a single-platform station that was opened in 1933.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Barmouth is also a station on the Cambrian Coast line without toilets.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Aberech was also opened by the Aberystwith (sic) and Welsh Coast Railway in 1867.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Abererch and three other Cambrian Coast stations (one of which was Llandecwyn) were the subject of an application to close the stations during the mid-1990s by British Rail, although they all stayed open.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sutton Common was also opened in 1930.

 

[Springs Branch]

Stations with island platforms on simple double-track lines are surprisingly uncommon in the former BR Southern Region area (except for the Wimbledon to Sutton line, where all intermediate stations have this layout).
However another example can be found at Queen's Road Peckham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bidston is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1866.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Bidston station was originally built by the Hoylake Railway in 1866 but closed in 1870. After another opening in 1872, it closed again in June 1890 due to low passenger numbers. The station was permanently reopened in 1896 as the northern terminus of the new North Wales and Liverpool Railway; the southern terminus was at Hawarden Bridge.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hertford North was also opened by the LNER in 1924.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Hertford North is one of two stations serving the town of Hertford, the other being Hertford East.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Blaenau Ffestiniog is also a branch line terminal station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Tywyn station is also a place where passengers can change for a nearby Narrow Gauge Railway.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Caersws is also a DfT category F1 station that was opened in 1863.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

I once caught a train on the Cambrian Coast Line at Caersws to go to Dyffryn Ardudwy

 

[py_megapixel]

Dyffryn Ardudwy, like many other stations on the Cambrian line, has a raised section of platform with slopes on either side, to improve wheelchair access. These are sometimes called "Harrington humps", after the first station in Britain where one was installed, Harrington in Cumbria.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Flimby was also opened by the Whitehaven Junction Railway in 1846.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

There is generally an hourly service from Flimby northbound to Carlisle and southbound to Whitehaven.
