Daisy Hill is also an island platform station with a DfT category rating of "E".

 

[Springs Branch]

Salwick and Daisy Hill both historically had fast lines passing through the station which were not provided with platforms.

Moss Side was also opened by the Preston and Wyre Joint Railway.

St Annes-on-the-Sea is also a station on the Blackpool South to Preston Line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lytham was also opened by the Blackpool and Lytham Railway in 1863.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The third station to serve the conurbation of Lytham St Annes is Ansdell and Fairhaven, which is adjacent to the Royal Lytham St Annes Golf Club.

Dore & Totley is also a single-platform station that was opened in 1872.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Dore & Totley is a shadow of it's former self, it once had more platforms to enable trains on both sides of the nearby junction to be platformed. The same is true at Ambergate.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Earlestown is another station that eventually had a triangular platform layout

 

[Springs Branch]

Rainhill was another station on the original Liverpool and Manchester Railway.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Eccles is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1830.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

I wonder whether people go to the similar sounding station called Eccles Road in error? This station is on the Breckland Line between Cambridge and Norwich, many miles away from the North of England.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Harling Road was also opened by the Norwich and Brandon Railway in 1845.

 

[Springs Branch]

In the current timetable, Harling Road has a limited service of two passenger calls in each direction on weekdays.
A similarly sparse service (two per day each way) is available at Barry Links.

Broughty Ferry was also opened by the Dundee and Arbroath Railway.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Broughty Ferry is the oldest railway station in Scotland which is still in operation; Reston is the newest station in Scotland.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Barking Riverside is another station that was opened in 2022.

 

[SteveyBee131]

West Kirby is also a 2 platform terminus station, which is usually only served by EMUs

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bagshot is also a DfT category "E" station that was opened in 1878.

 

[Springs Branch]

Beaulieu Road is another SWR station with a very limited direct service from London Waterloo.

[Springs Branch]

Frinton-on-Sea is also in Tendring District.

A quick reminder about the rail-related rule in this quiz . . . .

. . . . 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.

 

[Purple Train]

A quick reminder about the rail-related rule in this quiz . . . .

I wondered whether it might have been valid under the district's association with the original railway company, being named after it; however, once again, I am left suitably shamefaced by my total lack of observation of the rules!
(On another note: what happens now?)

 

[Springs Branch]

(On another note: what happens now?)

I suspect all the regular contributors on this quiz have done this at some point or other, so I wouldn't feel at all bad about it!
I'd suggest you strike out the Tendring post and make another post following on from Kirby Cross. Even use Frinton-on-Sea again if there's a rail association.

Topsham is also a passing loop on a single line (according to the most recent Baker Atlas).
