Croftfoot was also opened by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1931.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Kirkhill is also on the Newton branch of the Cathcart Circle Line.

Burnside was also opened by the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway in 1904.

 

[M-Train]

At Old Street, another 1904 station, the service provided is also a non-circular loop service.

 

[Springs Branch]

Vauxhall is another status classified as a London Terminal for National Rail ticketing purposes, which is one stop short of its line's actual terminus.

 

[LUYMun]

The Victoria line serves Vauxhall as part of the extension to Brixton, opening in 1971, which came after the opening of the main route to Victoria.

Herne Hill was also opened by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway in 1862.

Cheam is another SR third-rail station proposed for AC electrification which never happened.

Dorchester South is also a DfT category "D" station that was opened in 1847.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Thorne South is another station which gained the suffix 'South' after another station was opened in the same town.

 

[M-Train]

South Ruislip is another ex-GC station containing ‘South’ in its name where one may see a parliamentary service.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Henley-in-Arden is also a DfT category F1 station that was opened in 1908.

 

[nw1]

Henley-in-Arden is also a DfT category F1 station that was opened in 1908.

According to the 1984 Rail Atlas of Great Britain, the line south of there was scheduled for closure. Never happened. But could one also suggest Long Preston (disclaimer: had to look it up, I thought it was Hellifield) as a station immediately adjacent to a section of line proposed to be closed in the 80s, but which never happened?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gargrave was also opened by the "Little" North Western Railway in 1849.

 

[Springs Branch]

The Waverley (until 1969 an express train between St Pancras and Edinburgh via the Midland and Waverley routes) passed non-stop through a number of wayside stations along its route.
Amongst these stations were Gargrave and Stow.
(on the re-opened Borders Railway, and one of the few stations on that line rebuilt on its original site)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gorebridge on the Borders Railway is also a station that when reopened, was the only other station to be built on exactly the same site as the originally closed station.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Brunstane station also has bicycle parking and storage facilities.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Newcraighall was also opened by Railtrack in 2002.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

South Gyle station is also on the Edinburgh Crossrail, which preceded the reopening of the Borders Railway.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Flowery Field was also opened by British Rail in 1985.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Alvechurch is another station whose usual regular traction is class 323 EMUs.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Redditch was also opened by the Redditch Railway in 1859.

 

[Springs Branch]

Redditch is one of the southern termini of the West Midlands Cross-City Line.
The line's northern extremity is Lichfield Trent Valley.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Shotton also has both low-level and high-level platforms.

 

[Springs Branch]

Travelling on the Borderlands Line from Shotton, the next stations in either direction have very similar names - Hawarden or Hawarden Bridge.

On London Overground's South London Line, a similar thing applies (Clapham High Street or Clapham Junction) travelling from Wandsworth Road.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

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

 

[EbbwJunction1]

I once had a lift (although I could have travelled by train if the times had been right - they weren't!) from Duffryn Arduddwy to Caersws; I did then travel onto Newtown by train, though.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Penmaenmawr is also a Grade II listed railway station.
