Trivia: Stations more than 1 change away from London

[richard1976]

Ones I can think of:[/URL]

- Reddish South/Denton (require a change at Guide Bridge for Manc Piccadily, or at Staylbridge for Leeds)
- Most stations on the line between Clitheroe and Bolton (except for Bolton and Blackburn) - require a change at Blackburn for Preston or Leeds, or a change at Salford Central for Manchester Piccadilly. Or a change at Bolton for Preston, I suppose!

Any more?

stations between Blackburn and Clitheroe can be done on summer sundays using the dales rail service changing at only preston or carlise

Cardiff Bay?

Ashfield, Possilpark & Parkhouse, Gilsochill, Summerston, Maryhill, Kelvindale, Duke Street, Alexandra Parade and Barnhill are probably the only ones in Scotland since Drumgelloch to Bathgate opened

Don't Duke Street, Alexandra Parade and Barnhill have direct services to Westerton and/or Dalmuir?

Oops! Forgot about that - so its just the intermediate stations on the Anniesland DMU shuttle

Also, the 07:08 Arrochar & Tarbet > Queen Street stops at Maryhill and Possilpark & Parkhouse, so these two are also only one change from London (but not to London).

 

[Track Basher]

This is a debatable question. Is a walk between Glasgow Q St and Central one change or two?

 

[4SRKT]

Two I think

Cardiff Bay?

has service to Cardiff Central, which has services to Paddington

would Fishguard Harbor work?

also staions between Salford Crescent and Kirkby via Atherton bar Salford Crescent, Hindley and Wigan Wallgate.

Ince & Elton and Stanlow & Thornton - change at Helsby for Warrington BQ or Chester, or at Ellesmere Port for Lime St.

come to think of it, Meols Cop, New Lane, Bescar Lane have a direct service to Manchester Piccadilly, but only after the last VT of the night

Cardiff bay has no services to Cardiff queen street

The second Ellesmere Port > Helsby train of the afternoon goes through to Bank Quay, so that's I&E and S&T out.

All stations on the Whitby line beyond Nunthorpe.

You'd either have to get the East Coast to D'ton, or Grand Central to Eaglescliffe. Then a connection to Middlesbrough. Before boarding a train to Whitby.
