[Springs Branch]

South Ruislip has gone through several changes to its name. It opened as Northolt Junction, became South Ruislip & Northolt Junction in 1932 and finally South Ruislip in 1947.

A similar series of re-naming occurred in Lancashire at the original Newburgh, which later became Parbold for Newburgh and finally today's Parbold.

Thurgarton also has a level crossing adjacent to the railway station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Thurgarton was opened by the Midland Railway on 3rd August 1846. The contractors for the line were Craven and Son of Newark and Nottingham; the station buildings are in the Neo-Tudor style and were probably designed by Thomas Chambers Hine. In the mid 1850s, he designed several stations for the Great Northern Railway; one of these was Elton and Orston.

Another GNR station that lacks station buildings today is Grange Park.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Waungron Park station in Cardiff also contains the word "Park" in the title; however, unlike Grange Park station, there is a green space bearing the name of the station nearby.

(I hope that this is okay ... let me know if it's not.)

Just as Waungron Park was served by 153’s, Clock House was also well-served by other Leyland Bus products—i.e. Nationals.

Sudbury Hill Harrow is another DfT category F2 infill station.

Is that entirely rail related? I note that Clock House is in the Southern region, so the Nationals referred to are surely the road going kind

I guess it’ll be a precedent—it’s not common to have partially rail-related associations here!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible and please ensure that all associations are rail related: a separate game exists for non rail related links.

I wonder if this extract from the very first posting on the thread might assist with the query raised.

Let's change this to a wholly rail-related association, please.

 

[M-Train]

Let's change this to a wholly rail-related association, please.

If so, a different station is likely to be needed—would that be OK?

 

[OxtedL]

Yes that's fine.

 

[M-Train]

Yes that's fine.

A new association has now been provided, as an edit.

Sudbury Hill Harrow is another DfT category F2 infill station.

Here it is:

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thanks for that....

Avoncliff was also opened in 1906.

 

[M-Train]

Generally 1tph each way is also provided at Northolt Park.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brookmans Park is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1926.

 

[Springs Branch]

Barnetby is another station with two island platforms on a four-track line where only 2 of the 4 platforms are normally used by stopping trains.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brigg was also opened by the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway in 1848.

 

[Springs Branch]

Bordesley also sees a normally-scheduled train service only on Saturdays.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Bordesley does not have a ticket office or ticket machines; Tyseley, on the other hand, has both.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bedhampton is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1906.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Opened in 1906 as "Bedhampton Halt", the station was at first staffed separately but in the late 1940s it came under the control of Havant; since then it has been staffed on a part time basis.

 

[M-Train]

Harrow & Wealdstone also has Southern 377's and 2 other TOC's, and also was the junction for a long-gone branch.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tamworth was also the scene of a rail accident in 1870.

 

[Springs Branch]

Smethwick Galton Bridge is another station where one railway route passes above another and has both high level and low level platforms.

 

[M-Train]

West Ruislip also has 2 electrified & 2 unelectrified platforms, and the Chiltern service which serves Smethwick Galton Bridge also passes through West Ruislip.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Turkey Street is also a station within London Fare Zone 6.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Theobalds Grove was also opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1891.

 

[M-Train]

On its section of line, Purfleet is also the first station out of London.
