I don’t see that Newbiggin in Teasdale had a station, (looking at old maps anyway), and the place on the Blyth and Tyne was shown on OS maps as Newbiggin by the Sea (even if the station wasn’t). But there was a Newbiggin or New Biggin station in Cumberland back then.Unsure if both of these locations ever had a railway station or not, but how about Newbiggin (County Durham), and Newbiggin (Northumberland)?
If I have interpreted railway geography right, both of those would have eventually became part of the North Eastern Railway.
Perhaps somebody who knows that region better than I do could comment further?
And Hartford with an AHertford and Hereford , although I note Hertford East is the station.
Possibly at Norwich or Ely, a quick glance at the departure boards showing London Liverpool Street and Liverpool Lime Street?Are there any locations such as Bedford, Luton / Airport, or even St. Pancras, where there's a risk of someone wanting to go to Loughborough buying a ticket or boarding a train heading for Loughborough Junction?
could have taken the 72 directly there , no ?I've read somewhere that Aldersgate was renamed Barbican because people confused it with Aldgate.
Not quite fitting the topic of this thread, but perhaps of interest, a pal who was walking near Charing Cross station was asked by a man where Charing Cross Hospital was, and the latter was more confused when my pal told him he'd have to catch an Underground train to Hammersmith, the nearest station to it. Just to add to the fun, the nearest station to Hammersmith Hospital is East Acton, which has no direct route to Hammersmith.

Barnhill and Barrhill (both in the SPT area - the former was one of my local stations in Springburn, the latter is in Ayrshire past Girvan on the way to Stranraer).
This caused more laughter than it should have doneGlasgow and Plymouth. Gets me every time.
