Trivia(?): Stations next to a supermarket

[colchesterken]

What we need is a full indexed list, so that spotters know where they can get a pie and a tin of something to drink between trains!

 

[A Challenge]

I don't think that Woking's N&S simply food has been mentioned?

 

[me123]

Nigel and Spencer?

There is an Asda and a Sainsbury's in close proximity to Y Fflint station.

 

[daodao]

Knutsford - Booths is quite close by.

 

[CheekyBandit]

St Neots – Tesco 2 Mins walk from the ‘Back’ entrance to the Station (Loves Farm)

Tend to use the Spar on Cambridge Street - further away but close to the X5 bus stop.

Doncaster – Sainsburys 2 Mins walk across the road using the Pedestrian Crossing and then left where you’ll reach the shopping centre entrance on your right.

I thought the crossing has gone - have to use the shopping centre extension and find it. I think it was 2003 I was last able to used it though I don't go there often.

Darnall - has a Fultons and a Lidl nearby - the bus I use often passes the bottom of the station approach and the Fultons

Here are some that i can think of.
...
Blackwater - Aldi
Blackwater - Lidl
...
All of these are either right next to the station or a very short walk from the station.

I am sure there are lots that i have missed off the list or forgotten about as well.

Tesco and M&S are across the road in the other direction (from the Guildford bound platform) at Blackwater too.

 

[CheekyBandit]

Worksop - Aldi. Google maps gives 8 minutes walk via a long winded route. Shorter walk is turning right out of station (any P1 exit), down steps from car park, turning right and walking to end of the road where store is opposite.

Hatch End has a morrisons and a Tesco express literally next to them , the Morrisons is over a bridge and the Tesco Express is less than 100m from the station

Also , Harrow on the Hill has a Tesco express outside the station and a Morrisons next to it
Pinner has a massive sainsbury's next to the station entrance

Just out of intrerest , what is Booths ? Never seen any of them round here

No, there used to be a subway outside the station at Donny that led you pretty much straight to the Sainsburys, that has gone. The pedestrian crossing is still there, not as convenient as the old subway, but less fuss than negotiating the upper floor of the shopping centre. When you come out of the front of the station, the crossing is at about 1 o'clock, by the road entrance to the station.

Stratford Upon Avon.
Morrisons just over the bridge, therefore adjacent to platform 3.

 

[richard1976]

Llandudno junction (asda)

Booths is a Lancashire based supermarket with stores across the North West and a few in Yorkshire.

Basically it's a high end supermarket that makes Waitrose look like Aldi. Their stores are a cut above.

 

[CaptainHaddock]

Within 5 mins Morecambe Morrison's and Scarborough Tesco.Also Filey Tesco

Just about every major station on the Wolds Coast line has a sizeable Tesco either adjoining the station or within a 5 minute walk. This applies to Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley and Hull!

 

[SGB1953]

I can't see Tunbridge Wells which has a Morrisons outside on thee list, all the more surprising as Tunbridge Wells West and Tonbridge have been mentioned -or have I inadvertently missed a page? Also Flitwick has a Tesco with an entrance to the car park by the station entrance, I don't remember seeing that mentioned in the thread either although I wasn't looking as I have only just thought of it.

Sadly the Tunbridge Wells Morrisons closed in April 2016, I think it was Sunday 3rd at 16:00.

When I last walked past it was being refitted, though not apparently as a supermarket.

There is a Sainsbury's local across the road from the Mount Pleasant exit.

There's an Aldi near Weymouth station and on it's way to Dorchester it passes next to Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco with the line separating Morrisons and Sainsbury's.

[LimeStSte]

Neston shares a car park with Aldi and also has a Sainsburys supermarket a couple of minutes away and a Tesco Express 5 mins away.

 

[Green Lane]

Upton (Merseyside), Co-op.

Didn't realize there was a SPAR in St Neots - will check next time I'm there. The Doncaster Sainsburys is definitely easier to access by the new looking Pedestrian Crossing virtually opposite the station - no need to enter the shopping centre on the Station side. Last time I was there was 3 weeks ago.

 

[james60059]

Atherstone: Aldi and Co-op.
Nuneaton: Asda.
Hinckley: Tesco.
Tamworth: Morrisons.
Water Orton: Tesco Express.

When Kenilworth opens, a Waitrose is nearby

 

[DasLunatic]

There's also Roy's about five minutes from Sudbury.

 

[bastien]

Bath Spa - Sainsbury's just opposite.
Dorchester West - The Range (okay not a supermarket but you could get some broken biscuits).
Frome - some kind of Pound Shop (ditto).
Birchgrove - Lidl just to the South.

 

[BurtonM]

There's a Sainsbury's Local pretty much at the top of the approach road to Wolverhampton, if that counts for much.

 

[Smelly_Diesel]

Hasn't Southport still got one near Merseyrail platforms?

 

[endecotp]

Slateford - ASDA.

Newcraighall was close to a Tesco but it closed.

With regard to regional supermarkets, one of the oddest is Tuffin's which has branches dotted in various places along either side of the Welsh border. The labyrinthine Knighton branch is about 10mins walk from the station, in the town. Not sure if any are closer- perhaps Chirk or Ruabon.

 

[FenMan]

Tesco and M&S are across the road in the other direction (from the Guildford bound platform) at Blackwater too.

Surely Blackwater wins in the variety of supermarkets on offer?
Value: Aldi, Lidl
Mid-range: Tesco
Upmarket: M&S Food Hall

And, for the adventurous, the Waitrose is a 10 minute walk.

Malton - Asda

Asda is very close to Malton station, being built on the old Whitby bay. You can see the original platform edge and wall in the car park

 

[Scotrail84]

Britains newest station - Edinburgh Gateway, morrisons right across the A8 or under it where the tram goes.

 

[Clansman]

Perth - Morrisons across the road from the entrance to the back end of the station (platforms 4-7).
