Doesnt that lead to Grateley station about 3 miles away ?Station Road in middle wallop, no railway to be seen and no railway ever in this village
Doesn't the road lead to the former Elmesthorpe Station (by the Wentworth Arms)?Station Road in Earl Shilton Leicestershire has never had a station or even a railway line within a couple of miles. The nearest station is Hinckley on the line between Leicester & Nuneaton.
I can think of at least one, but not UK: Allenwood in County Kildare, Ireland, never had a railway station, but it has a Station Road, which takes its name from a former power station (which was supplied with peat via Bord na Móna 3' gauge lines, but was never on the national railway network). I half-recall that there's at least one Station Road (and probably more than one) in the UK named for an RAF station, but I could be wrong.The word "station" existed long before the railways and was used to describe a variety of features, such as military posts, stopping places for stage coaches, and so on. See https://www.etymonline.com/word/station. So it would seem very plausible that some Station Roads take their name from one of these other types of station.
The 1891 25” map on the NLS’s site shows a South Shore Station roughly at the end of Station Road.Station Rd in Blackpool is one that doesn't make sense as its nowhere near any of the stations - unless there was a closed one between Blackpool South and the Pleasure Beach. Was the original south shore terminus much further south?
See this Google map: the road leads to the abandoned railway land half a mile or so south of Blackpool South
(Giggleswick station was originally called Settle as it was the only station to serve Settle at the time. )Station Road in Settle goes past Settle station but ends in Giggleswick at a mini roundabout. The straight on, Brackenber Lane, goes to Giggleswick Station. I am told Station Road was named for Giggleswick Station before Settle station opened.
At least we do not have a Train Station Road!
But they are all in the USA not the UK so its alrightYes there are! Have a look at Google Maps.....
There is one shown in Roscrea, County Tipperary, although that might be just a misplaced description.But they are all in the USA not the UK so its alright
I think this may be one of the roads named after an airfield? Can only find the name on recent maps post WW2.Station Road in middle wallop, no railway to be seen and no railway ever in this village
Junction Road station was on the corner of Station Road and Junction Road.Station Road, Archway on what is now the Overground and site of a Royal Mail facility and industrial park, but previously some sort of goods yard / rail depot judging by the layout.
That went past Junction Road station, previously Junction Road for Tufnell Park, closed in 1943, so I think that’s a valid station road that did lead to a station...Station Road, Archway on what is now the Overground and site of a Royal Mail facility and industrial park, but previously some sort of goods yard / rail depot judging by the layout.
The village of Langford in Bedfordshire has a Station Road running through the southern side of the village, but AFAIW has never had an actual railway station; the two nearest stations being Biggleswade to the north and Arlesey to the south.
You are forgetting the failed monorail which was projected to run past one end of station road. I have no idea if a station was planned at that point.There's a station road and station approach on canvey island in essex that never had a railway I believe
Station Road, just north of Copner Bridge, Portsmouth, it’s about half way between Fratton and Hilsea and was built in anticipation of a station that was never built.
Sandown has a Station Approach on one side, and a Station Avenue, Station Lane and Station Road all leading towards it on the other side. Just needs a small new build residential development in a Station Close now!Ormskirk is unique I believe in having one station, but four different roads named for it: Railway Approach; Railway Road; Station Approach; and Station Road. The station itself is on Station Approach, making Station Road vaguely relevant to this thread.
There used to be a halt on the Portsmouth line immediately west of Farlington Junction: it was open 1891-1937, with two periods of closure, according to Wikipedia. A map in the NHL’s collection shows a footbridge over both the Cosham and Portsmouth lines that also served as access to the halt from Station Road, which looks as though it only ran north-east away when the line closed.Plus Station Road in Farlington, which leads down to the (many years prior) closed footbridge at the triangle.
You should let Northern Ireland Railways know.Whilst (reluctantly) appreciating the 'logic' I still despair at anyone with an understanding of/affinity for railways using the term "train station"
Regional / different nation variations in language and dialect exist of course. Companies may or may not get it right, of course - see for example all the years where the Glasgow Subway was branded "Underground" despite no local calling it that.You should let Northern Ireland Railways know.
Yes, I knew about that location, but the evidence that there was a station at some point means it isn’t what this thread is after, as emphasised in post #7.Plus Station Road in Farlington, which leads down to the (many years prior) closed footbridge at the triangle.
There was a short-lived 'horse-drawn monorail'. See The First Essex Monorail - CanveyIsland.orghttps://www.canveyisland.org › arts-2 › essex-countryside .There's a station road and station approach on canvey island in essex that never had a railway I believe
The original Central Station was further North, just south of Coral Island between Seasiders Way and Bonny Street, it's now a car park. I guess South Station moved too.Station Rd in Blackpool is one that doesn't make sense as its nowhere near any of the stations - unless there was a closed one between Blackpool South and the Pleasure Beach. Was the original south shore terminus much further south?
