It's almost certain that the only public trains to call at Soham for the next two decades or more will be 755s!

Southend Pier.

Southend Pier.

There are two, very different, types of trains on Southend Pier at this time....

I stand corrected! What about Stourbridge Town?

I stand corrected! What about Stourbridge Town?

It would have to be a recently opened station. Even if you count Stourbridge T as a relatively new station, that still predates the PPM?

So it is not just one type of train nowadays, but the same type since the station was built? So it would have to be a station, built just recently, on a line only served by one train currently.

Conway Park, Brunswick and Maghull North - if you could Class 507/508s as basically being the same.

Re-opened East London Line stations (Haggerston, Hoxton etc) - only Class 378s.

 

[dan4291]

Yarm - served only by TPE 185s

 

[185143]

Bow Street-TfW 158s.

 

[M-Train]

Imperial Wharf: Electrostars.

 

[Tomo]

Bat & Ball class 700s

 

[norbitonflyer]

Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station - 1996 1995 stock
Heathrow Terminals 4 and 5
All stations on the Jubilee Line extension
All Most stations on the T&W Metro (other than Sunderland and, I am informed, St Peters)
Watford Stadium
Hogsmeade

Bat & Ball class 700s

Bat & Ball has been there since the days of steam - it's actually older the the main station in Sevenoaks.

 

[Dr Day]

Loads of examples in Wales eg the whole Cambrian, but perhaps unusually Caldicot and Chepstow at the moment served by Class 170s by both XC and TfW

 

[Recessio]

Hogsmeade

I think a 4-6-2 Pacific was also used as the Hogwart's Express once, so I'm not sure in this case...

 

[py_megapixel]

Has Chandlers Ford in its reopened incarnation only ever seen 158s and 159s?

Not quite. GC have terminated at St. Peter's a couple of times when the brown stuff has hit the fan on the ECML and their last service arrives after Sunderland station has closed.

 

[Smitham]

All of the Island Line.

 

[d9009alycidon]

East Kilbride, Barrhead, and Stranraer are always 156s
Wick and Thurso all 158s

 

[paddy1]

All Thameslink stations north of City Thameslink through to Flitwick. (Farringdon, St Pancras, Luton, Luton APW, excepted). Only served by 700's, albeit 8 or 12 car variants. Kenilworth, Coventry Arena, Bedworth, Bermuda Park on Leamington-Nuneaton line - only served by 172's. Must be lots of other as well

 

[pdeaves]

If looking at 'now' rather than 'whole of history', then many branch lines only have one train type. Greenford, Windsor & Eton Central, Marlow and Henley branches come to mind.

 

[scrapy]

Think Millom to Carlisle is all 156s now.

Flowery Field to Glossop / Hadfield all booked 323s although 331s have been used for test runs, and 150s/156s have occasionally been used on late night services if the wires are turned off

 

[Flange Squeal]

Has Chandlers Ford in its reopened incarnation only ever seen 158s and 159s?

When the service initially started, I believe it was generally in the hands of South West Trains’ nine Class 170s or the two 158s (158786/9). The current fleet of 158s came from Transpennine Express in exchange for eight of the 170s (the ‘odd one out’ with Southern interior going to Southern).

The station currently also sees occasional visits from Great Western Railway 166s, which sometimes call there during engineering works, but don’t think they have any regular booked services stopping.

 

[TheEdge]

The entire GA rural network except Norwich - Cambridge and Ely - Peterborough.

 

[Peter0124]

The Airdrie to Bathgate line is only served by 334s (Caldercruix, Blackridge and Armadale are new reopened stations)

 

[Esker-pades]

Conon Bridge has only been served by 158s since opening in 2013.

Not sure if you want to count the former Conon station though.

Trivia thread idea: Stations only ever served by one train type.

The premise of the thread is stations only ever served by one train type throughout their entire history; not just a single train type today.

I would imagine a FGW/GWR 150 has done the honours at least once.

 

[swt_passenger]

Imperial Wharf: Electrostars.

And 455s?

I would imagine a FGW/GWR 150 has done the honours at least once.

[Chandlers Ford] opened with 170s

Only the very most recent stations would qualify then as trains get scrapped after a few decades.

 

[Bikeman78]

Imperial Wharf: Electrostars.

That one doesn't count I'm afraid. I've got off a 313 there and boarded a 350 a few minutes later.
