Stations with a V or triangle layout.

[4SRKT]

Might I suggest Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria.

Platforms 13 & 14 at Piccadilly and 1 & 2 at Victoria have different ticket inspection lines from the rest of the platforms at those stations.

I don't think either counts. 1 & 2 at Victoria are just bays, and 1-12 at Piccadilly effectively likewise.

Willesden Junction is also a cross station IMHO. As was Stratford before the North Woolwich line went. This meant Stratford at one time had both a V and a cross layout.

The ever helpful Wikipedia says for triangle stations:
Ambergate
.

Ambergate was a genuine triangle for many years but now only one platform.

Duffield is a Vee (where the ends of the platforms join) between the Midland main line and the Ecclesbourne Valley line (not yet open, quite) Does that count?

It will do, when it's opened. Which reminds me of one I really ought to have remembered, given that it's only 5 miles from my house: Keighley!

 

[gordonthemoron]

Keighley, what's not to like? Great beer, cr@p pubs, so-so curry houses

 

[4SRKT]

Some OK pubs in Keighley. It's a strange town tho.

 

[Wyvern]

Sorry scratch Piccadilly. Missed seeing earlier post

 

[gordonthemoron]

I prefer Saltaire for pubs, Fanny's at any rate

 

[NSEFAN]

I think Bourne End would count, as it makes a sort-of V shape with the lines from Maidenhead and Marlow.

A couple of strange people as well. One started talking to me at the station. Thank God he got on the Forster Square train and not the Leeds one!

 

[Ivo]

Surely another West Midlands 'cross' would be Smethwick Galton Bridge?

...and can I be cheeky and add Moorfields and Liverpool Central to the 'cross' list?

Having just sent a message to Mojo about LM on Saturday, I accidentally deleted all 17 of my messages to date

Shocking - talking to other people! (But i do agree that Keighley is a very odd place)

Only if you're prepared to have some smart alec* list every mainline station in thatLondon that also has a tube stop!


* that would be me BTW!

Would have been fine for me, apart from the fact he was ****ed at 11 in the morning and had a grudge against Asian people for some reason, and was going to Bradford as well..

Just a quick additional puzzler.

In what city did one company's main line run right above another company's main station?

 

[CCF23]

Here's another one Smallbrook Junction

Tamworth?

 

[yorksrob]

Tamworth?

Fair Nottamun Town

Sorry - should have quoted Wyvern!

Keighley is a V shape, just because one half of the V is preserved doesn't make it any less so!

Would Morecambe count as V, as the branch to Heysham port is only accessible by reversing from the platforms. (I think)

If that's the case, then Aviemore is as well.

 

[4SRKT]

If that's the case, then Aviemore is as well.

I would have said that the Speyside station is totally separate from the main line one.

Well, there's a fence, but the two platforms are the same structure, as are the buildings and the roof.

 

[Bedpan]

Also Hinchley Wood, nobody's mentioned that yet. Is an island platform at one end but then the up an down lines diverge as theres a dive under where it joins the main line. I suppose you could say the same for Raynes Park too, although its in two halves.

TBF the last time I went on the Strathspey Railway it was 1987 and things may have changed since then! I seem to remember it was a few hundred yards between the stations.

Nottingham, GCR ran over Nottingham Midland Station

 

[yorksrob]

Has anyone mentioned Hither Green yet - and March come to think of it ?

 

[royaloak]

Meadowhall, now thats a proper "V"

 

[O L Leigh]

March isn't a V. It's just two through platforms with the junction for Whitemoor beyond the end of the platform.

Right.

Also yorksrob: Fair Nottamun Town

Sorry - should have quoted Wyvern!

That's OK

To be pedantic the line at Tamworth (the Trent Valley line) ran under the other which was there first - the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway.

Tamworth High Level has been lifted up twice, first in the 19th. century to run the Trent Valley under it, later in the 20th. to install the knitting.

Looked like it from the train - less so on Google Earth

 

[Vulcan]

Carnforth would be is the mainline platforms were still in.
