Copplestone is on The Tarka Line between Barnstaple and Exeter St Davids, which is one of the railway lines supported by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The Partnership also supports the East Devon Line between Exeter St Davids and Axminster; one of the stations on that line is at Whimple.

Feniton is also a single-platform station that was opened by the London and South Western Railway in 1860.

 

[Springs Branch]

The Three Letter Station Code for Feniton (FNT) is formed using each of the consonants which appear in the station's name, without any of the vowels.
Another "all-the-consonants" examples is SML = Sea Mills.

This is the last valid posting and the quiz should be continued from here.

Flat crossings have always been rare on Britain's standard gauge rail lines, and only one remains in use today.
Historically, there was a flat crossing between the GWR and S&DJR lines at Highbridge and Burnham.
And until the Beeching era, there was also a flat crossing between former LNWR and Midland lines at Bedford St Johns.

Note: Bedford St Johns station was relocated somewhat in the mid-1980s, but today's BSJ station is a similar short distance from the site of the flat crossing as the historic station was.

Ridgmont is also a station on the Marston Vale line with the lowest DfT category rating of F2.

Rose Hill Marple is another station which had (pre-Covid) no services on Sunday.

Colne is also now a terminal station on a truncated former through line.

 

[Hey 3]

Hadfield is also another terminal station on a truncated former through line and also has 1 platform as well.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

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 time to show this extract from the quiz rules.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Cherry Tree is also a station on Network Rail's Route 9, which covers the Calder Valley and East Lancashire Lines.

 

[Hey 3]

Pleasington is also on the same line, and along with Cherry Tree a the lowest category of the DFT category system(F2) and is a request stop

Bradford Forster Square was also opened in 1846.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Langley Mill is another station where the buildings were originally designed by Charles Trubshaw but later demolished and replaced by the current ones (waiting shelters in this case).

 

[Springs Branch]

Ribblehead is another two-platform station with offset platforms, which are not the result of an adjacent level crossing.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Horton-in-Ribblesdale was also opened by the Midland Railway in 1876, closed in 1970, then reopened in 1986.

 

[Springs Branch]

Another example of a three word station name where the three letter code corresponds to the first letters of each word is CYB, Cefn-Y-Bedd.

I wonder how many times this relatively obscure station has been mentioned in this forum?

Gwersyllt was also opened by the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway in 1866.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Caergwrle is also a station on the Borderlands Line which is unstaffed with no ticketing provision.
