AFAIK nothing terminates at Wilmslow these days. Everything continues to Alderley Edge to terminate - Alderley Edge being another station to go on the list.
Wilmslow
Sittingbourne.
Dover Priory has terminating platforms. I'm sure Hastings does too, but it's been a while since I've been there.
So are there any stations with terminating services but no terminating platform, so the line goes straight through the platform.
But that station still has a terminating service which uses that bay platform so i'm afraid Stockport is invalid as the station needs to be completely through plaform

Ely, Wareham from next June, Peterborough (Bay due to be removed)
Dover Priory, Ashford Int'l, Ramsgate, Margate, Hastings, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone West are some i can think of in the South East.

And are they really removing the bay at PBO, why are they doing that?
Has anyone said 'Manchester Victoria'?..and there is Hazel Grove as well.
They are now I believe although there used to be a bay which was used for the St Helens service at the North End of the down island platform in the 60s. I recall that this was used as a stabling bay for Electric locos in the 80s.Am I also right in saying that all platforms at Warrington bank quay are through?
If so when the Ellesmere port-Warrington line runs, both destinations are through platforms. Helsby on the same line also has terminating services with no bay platform
Doesn't Victoria have bays though?
While it doesn't affect Stockport your exact words were:
There are some stations which were not originally on the end of the line but under the Beeching cuts they became terminus stations but the line was allowed to continue slightly beyond the end of the platform
Great Malvern, Whitlocks End, Moreton in Marsh, Hereford (Bay platform is for departing trains only..terminating trains arr plat 1 or 2 then shunt to 4),Dorridge (Platformed used for terminating LM services is thro platform,also used on occasion by terminating Chiltern services). Stourbridge Jcn (mainline services), Kidderminster, Chepstow (not sure if peak hour trains still finish there), Burton on Trent (EMT London Services),Worcester Foregate St, Worcester Shrub Hill.
