Battersea Park is the first station on the Brighton Main Line out of London Victoria; as well as sharing part of the name, Preston Park is the first station out of Brighton on the same line.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the longest station name in the UK' there are a number of contenders for the shortest, one of these being Ore.

Both Ince and Bescar Lane stations are entirely unstaffed; however, the former has a ticket machine on the platform, whereas the latter does not.

Southall also opened in 1839, and also has a goods branch.

London Bridge is another DfT category A station with many through trains that do not terminate there.
