Ty Glas is a station on the Coryton Line in Cardiff; unsurprisingly, the terminus of that line is at Coryton (although there are plans to extend it under the South Wales Metro development).

Both Wargrave and Shiplake stations have a car park, but neither have any station buildings other than a simple shelter.

There have been several rationalisations of Leeds station, the first occurring in 1938, when two railway stations (New and Wellington) were combined to form Leeds City Station, opening on 2 May that year. This was designed by the LMS architect William Henry Hamlyn, who was also responsible for the design of Lea Hall station, which opened in 1939.

To a casual observer, Bare Lane has the appearance of a conventional two-platform station on a double track line.
However intending passengers need to take care when selecting the platform to wait for their train - in fact there are two independent single lines here and trains can run in a counter-intuitive direction.
The same situation arises at Glenrothes with Thornton.

Perhaps an opportune time to show part of the quiz rules, especially the emboldened part above.
In @SynthD 's defence, they actually used 2 comparisons, one of which I personally would say is sufficiently different.

So to continue from Bentley (South Yorkshire)...

Another station which has a duplicate name, and so also carries a bracketed county suffix to distinguish it from it's namesake is Hope (Derbyshire).

Strathclyde PTE's ZoneCard is a multimodal bus/train/subway season ticket based on a (rather complex) system of 77 zones.
ZoneCard zone G7 contains three (or is it four?) ScotRail stations - one of these is Bishopbriggs, another is Possilpark & Parkhouse.
