Corkerhill. Well, it has two, but one's not accessable by the public, and the track that uses it is a siding (I think it's used by EMUs entering/exiting Corkerhill depot). Plus it has some of the station lighting.

It's a headshunt, you cannot enter or exit corkerhill from there, must enter via signal S1 at the Dumbreck end of depot.

Then why is it, from the Platform that is in use, I have seen 314s just outside of Corkerhill station?

Barnstaple

Shame as it used to have more than 1, assume this would include all stations on the line past Crediton where double track becomes 2 single - one to Barnstaple, the other to Okehampton, does this also qualify as it only sees passenger workings summer Sundays.

Would also add several stations on the erstwhile ND&CJLR Torrington - Halwill, such as Yarde, Dunsbear Watergate and Meeth halts. Turnchapel (Plymouth branch closed early 1950's) Gunnislake branch, Callington, St Ives (Cornwall) Looe, Newquay and associated intermediate stations, all these branches are basic railways with one set of tracks the only break being Coombe Jcn on the Looe branch where the train reverses

oops just remembered Eggesford on Barnstaple line has passing facilities or it did when I last travelled on it

Station with no platforms - not even a 'bus shelter' or sign .... Norton Bridge?

i have an interesting one, Penryn, has only one platform structure, but 2 platforms, the newly built loop means falmouth bound trains call at one end of platform and truro bound trains call at the other end of the platform! so you have two trains at once on same platform heading in different directions!

Smethwick West still has the "Way out" signs on the platform even though it has been closed for the best part of the past 16 years.
