Are you sure about that, I can’t find a possible sight line on a map, and it certainly can’t be a direct view along the tracks...

Ill check next time I work that way but I believe Newcastle Central can be seen from manors however I know I cant see Manors from Newcastle.

You can see Cannon Street from Blackfriars across the Thames.

At Maidstone Barracks station platforms you can see Maidstone West but from the station entrance stairway you can also see Maidstone East. At not many other stations can you see two other stations...

At St Leonards Warrior Square you can just see the ends of Hastings station platforms.

Wallasey Grove Road and Wallasey Village. They’re so close you can see the information displays from one station on the other station’s platform.
Port Sunlight is visible from Spital.
I think even though the two Bootle stations are nearby, the radius of the track prevents one from being seen from the other (same with Hoylake and Manor Road, which are less than half a mile apart). I could be wrong however

Looking country bound in Stratford Station on platform 10 at least, you can see the platforms at Maryland station.

You can just about see the northbound Walton platform when standing on the northbound platform at Orrell Park on Merseyrail.

Can you see derby from peartree? Been years since I’ve used peartree, so can’t quite remember...

Taking the OP's question literally: Leeds Midland and Leeds New.

You didn't say they had to be current, open stations :lol:

Can just about see Queen St LL from the Eastbound platform at Charing Cross, can't see it the other way around though.

Wonder if you can see Giggleswick from Settle. Maybe from the footbridge. Maybe too many trees now....

I believe from Coryton you can see both Whitchurch and Rhiwbina stations fairly clearly.
You can see a train at Rhiwbina or Coryton stations from Whitchurch station platform, although there are 2 bridges between Whitchurch and Coryton.

You can see Newcourt from Digby & Sowton (but not the other way round strangely enough), St James' Park from Exeter Central, Exton from Lympstone Commando

There are multiple stations on the T & W Metro, Felling - Gateshead Stadium, Bede - Simonside, Ilford Road - South Gosforth. To name but three combinations..........

There are countless ones on the DLR, but are there any on the tube?

I'm not too sure about the Trams, I believe Avenue Road and Birkbeck are very visible from eachother, Phipps Bridge and Belgrave Walk must be visible from eachother, and perhaps you might be able to see Morden Road on that same stretch but I'm not sure. I think those are the only ones.

You used to be able to see Woking (and Byfleet & New Haw in the other direction) from the footbridge at West Byfleet, but it's decades since I used it and I doubt the old concrete footbridge is still there.
