Trivia: Stations that are really two different stations joined together

[Upton]

There are several stations on the British railway network that are really two different stations on different lines which have been joined together by a walkway or footbridge or a new station building.

To start the ball rolling, I would suggest Liverpool South Parkway which is the former Allerton station on the mainline from Liverpool to Crewe joined up to the site of the old Garson station on the Merseyrail line from Southport to Hunts Cross.

London Victoria
LBSCR and SECR stations merged at 1923 grouping

Wrexham General: Platform 4 used to be Wrexham Exchange.

 

[trivran]

Wrexham General, incorporating Wrexham Exchange.

 

[PHILIPE]

When Manchester Exchange was open up to the 60s, it was joined onto Manchester Victoria by one long shared platform.

Liskeard. GW(Cornwall) Rly station and Liskeard & Looe Rly station at right angles to it. L & L worked by the GW from 1909 and absorbed in the 1923 Grouping.

Kings Cross St Pancras?

Leeds.

Manchester Piccadilly is/was 3 distinct stations.

 

[Surreytraveller]

London Bridge (LCDR & LBSCR), Epsom? (LSWR & LBSCR)

 

[Peter Mugridge]

London Bridge (LCDR & LBSCR), Epsom? (LSWR & LBSCR)

I don't think so - the LBSCR station - which is still extant - is a bit over quarter a mile away towards Victoria and was closed after the present station was opened.

Probably doesn't count for the purpose of this thread actually, but Retford feels very much like two different stations, given the length between the high and low level and the fact the lines don't intersect near the station (or at all? Can't be bothered looking it up at this time on a Saturday!)

Shotton.

 

[edwin_m]

Shotton, Tamworth and Lichfield Trent Valley are separate stations one above the other.

The two St Budeaux stations have different names but are right next to each other.

Ormskirk and Kirkby are separate stations end to end.

Liverpool Central and Moorfields.

Monument.

If you include the Underground there are dozens more.

Slightly off-topic but Châtelet–Les Halles on the Paris Metro. One metro line even stops at both stations.

 

[ASharpe]

Waterloo, Waterloo International and Waterloo East.

 

[Helvellyn]

Basingstoke - platform 5 is the former GWR station complete with GWR style canopy.

Clapham Junction. Three distinct parts joined together.

Retford - platforms 3 and 4 on the low level.

Glasgow Central.

'Nearby stations' is surely a subject in its own right. Feel free to create a separate thread, could be an interesting topic

Ormskirk and Kirkby are separate stations end to end.

These are examples of the opposite of what the OP asked; arguably these are stations which have been operationally separated?

If you include the Underground there are dozens more.

If anyone wishes to create a thread in the LU section for this, feel free

Richmond station (Surrey), where the station on the through Windsor lines, the 'Old Station' as it was popularly known, was quite separate from the station on the terminal lines, the 'New Station', as shown on this map. Each had its own station buildings, on opposite sides of Kew Road. Both belonged to the LSWR. The Windsor lines station was re-sited when the whole station was rebuilt in the 1930s, the basic layout remaining much the same since, with the through and terminal lines sharing the same concourse. There is no longer any rail link between the two halves; the double crossover from the line from Kew Gardens to the Windsor lines was removed (I think) in the 1960s, and the reverse crossover from the up Windsor line was removed when the NLL no longer used Wimbledon-based 2-EPB stock.

Leeds, with the low-number platforms being the former Leeds Wellington.

 

[JohnElliott]

East Croydon platforms 1 and 2 used to be a separate station, New Croydon.

 

[GW43125]

Abercynon used to be North and South on the respective branches. If we're including tube then Charing Cross is effectively two stations.

Liverpool Central and Moorfields.

Monument.

If you include the Underground there are dozens more.

Ormskirk and Kirkby are different towns 6 miles apart, and Liverpool Central and Moorfields are different stations, half a mile from each other on opposite sides of the city centre.

I'd suggest Liverpool Lime Street Low Level on the Merseyrail Wirral Line could be considered a different station to Lime Street main line.

The low level platform was newly opened in the late 1970s when the loop line was constructed and is connected to the main line station by a fairly long subway (i.e. Lime St Merseyrail is not directly underneath Lime St main line).

Technically your example doesn't fit. LSP on Merseyrail is a new station. Garston is further along towards Liverpool and was closed when they opened the new one.

Edinburgh Waverley?

 

[Ken H]

do platforms 8 & 9 at Edinburgh count? they were the old 'suburban' platforms. out of use for a fair while weren't they?


And Perth? the Dundee side seems different to the Highland Line platforms?

Brum New St was 2 stations before it was trashed in WW2 and the 1960's rebuilding. Still seems to operate as 2 stations, low numbered platforms for cov-wolverhampton, and high numbered for cross city and NE - SW cross country, keeping the LNWR/MR distinction a bit.

That’s why I used the words, “site of “ as the present Merseyrail platforms are slightly further along the track from the old Garston station. Anyway, I would argue that the present Liverpool South Parkway station is essentially two stations on one site as there is quite a distance between the Merseyrail platforms and the other platforms on the mainline.
