George Watson Buck designed the original Skew Arch bridge over Fairfield Street, which contains Platforms 13 and 14 of Manchester Piccadilly station. Another large undertaking of his involving a bridge was Edgeley Viaduct, which is adjacent to Stockport station.

There are three branches off National Route 9, the Calder Valley Line and East Lancashire Line. Rochdale is the penultimate station on the route into Manchester Victoria; Nelson is the same on the branch to Colne.

New Clee is also a Category B station, which means that it is unstaffed, but has step free access to the platform.

Bitterne was named Bitterne Road when originally opened (following the traditional railway euphemism of "X Road" = located some significant distance from X).
Another station which has lost the same suffix is the former Pontypool Road, now Pontypool and New Inn.

Hopefully not too similar to ones we've done before. I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it.
It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible
Perhaps an opportune moment to draw attention to the emboldened part of the extract above from the rules of this particular quiz.

Continuing from Corpach ... the station lies immediately to the north of Loch Eil, which is also served by Loch Eil Outward Bound station.
