Trivia: Stations within same postcode area where you have to leave and re-enter

[fairysdad]

I'm guessing here that St Budeaux Ferry Road and St Budeaux Victoria Road have the same exact (ie, full) postcode yet would require a trip outside to change (by rail) between the two (although, still within the PL postcode, yet out of PL5 and into PL2 according to this map).

Stupid though to do that, although, bizarrely fares exist...

Just wondering if loop services count at all.

Pewsey/Bedwyn to Swindon/Chippenham (all SN) travel either via Reading (RG and OX) or Westbury (BA).

Crewkerne to Taunton (TA) via Exeter (EX).

Of course, you could stay in LL by routing it via the Ffestiniog Railway between Minffordd and Blaenau Ffestioniog.

You couldn't get to Wrexham that way, though. Not now the Ruabon-Barmouth line's gone. There are plenty of trains which call at Wrexham and Prestatyn in the current timetable, too.

Another example without a change of train is Langley Mill (NG16) - Nottingham (NG2), where the train would pass through the outskirts of Ilkeston (DE7) en route. Alfreton's in DE55, so there's no escape by going the wrong way.

Bradford Forster Square to Bradford Interchange (both BD) needs to go via Leeds (LS).

I think that Ilkley (LS29) to Leeds (LS1) passes briefly through BD18 in the approx area of Thackley Junction.

Looks like it!

Not necessary - just get a direct train via Apperley Junction?

That wouldn't help. I'm not sure about Apperley Junction itself, but properties on Apperley Lane on both sides of the line are in BD10 (Apperley Bridge, Bradford).

It would avoid an unnecessary detour via Shipley as stated. The direct route possibly just passes through a tiny part of BD17 and lots of BD10.

I apologise. I got my junctions confused.

IanD has correctly got what I was trying to say.

Does Ulleskelf LS24 to Weeton LS17 via YO and HG count? Bonus points when the whole lot is in (pre 1996, when City of York became unitary) North Yorkshire?
