Chipstead is also a DfT Category E station.

 

[Springs Branch]

Train services from Chipstead are among the few on National Rail which routinely divide or combine en route.
These detach or attach at Purley with trains to/from Caterham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Windermere is also a terminal station on a short branch line

 

[Springs Branch]

Barrow-in-Furness also formerly had daily InterCity trains to/from London Euston.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

There have been three stations on different sites at Barrow-in-Furness. The original station of 1846 had been a wooden building at Rabbit Hill, near the site of the present St George's Square, which was eventually replaced in 1863 by a new brick building close by, which had been designed by the Lancaster architect Edward (E G) Paley, and which latterly came to be known as Cambridge Hall. On 1st June 1882, the town's principal station was transferred to its present site below Abbey Road, following the construction of a new loop line. Grange-over-Sands is another station on the Furness Railway which was designed by E G Paley, in about 1864.

Wateringbury is also a Grade II listed railway station.

 

[Springs Branch]

Lincoln also has a level crossing adjacent to the station.

Barnham was also the scene of a rail derailment incident in 1962.

From Surrey Quays, DC Electrostars also reach a branch with no intermediate stops. (The ELL at New Cross has never been reconnected to the SE, even after the LO works.)

 

[Springs Branch]

The 3-letter station code for Surrey Quays (SQE) doesn't make sense at first sight (several National Rail stations on the former ELL were given "E" as their last letter e.g. Wapping).

Another station whose code is a challenge to the uninitiated is HPQ - Harwich International.

To an old-timer like me, it is obvious. That station opened in 1883 as Harwich Parkeston Quay and was not renamed until 1995.

Another branch station that in NSE/NXEA days saw 321’s, would be Emerson Park.

Betring is also a station that opened in 1909 that currently has the lowest DfT category rating of F2.

 

[Springs Branch]

Beltring was the third least-used station on the Southeastern TOC's network in 2019/20 with 13,260 entries & exits.
The least used of all stations managed by Southeastern (8,044 users in the same period) was Swale.

Huncoat is also a station that now occupies a different station site to the one when the station originally opened.

 

[D6130]

Cherry Tree also lies on the East Lancashire Line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Staveley is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened in 1847.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Staveley lies partway along the Windermere branch, which is single track for it's entirety and worked by token on the 'One Train In Steam' principal. The same is true for the Matlock branch, on which Whatstandwell is found

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Clitheroe also currently occupies a different station site to the site where the station was first opened.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Ramsgreave and Wilpshire is also on the Ribble Valley Line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Cam and Dursley is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened in 1994.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Reuben Stevens was the Station Master at Cam and Dursley between ca. 1871 and 1879; he was afterwards the Station Master at Radlett.

Yate station is also on the main Bristol to Birmingham Line.

Reuben Stevens was the Station Master at Cam and Dursley between ca. 1871 and 1879; he was afterwards the Station Master at Radlett.

A difficulty has arisen as Cam and Dursley did not open until 1994 and has never had a Station Master.

Was he a Station Master at the now-closed station of Coaley Junction?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Note that you should only reply with a station on the main BR network (e.g. not Underground or Preserved Railway) that is still open.

One matter to remember when thinking about Coaley Junction.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

A difficulty has arisen as Cam and Dursley did not open until 1994 and has never had a Station Master.

Was he a Station Master at the now-closed station of Coaley Junction?

Yes, my mistake - I didn't appreciate that they were different stations.

One matter to remember when thinking about Coaley Junction.

Noted.

I have now changed my contribution.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yate station is also on the main Bristol to Birmingham Line.

Lostwithiel was also once served by a long-closed branch line.

 

[johnnychips]

Darsham station also opened in 1859.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Oulton Broad South is also a station with the lowest DfT category rating of F2 on the East Suffolk Line.

 

[Springs Branch]

Oulton Broad South is one of two small stations which serve this community, located on separate lines on account of local railway geography.
Another member of a similar station pair (Upper & Lower, rather than North & South) is Tyndrum Lower.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The lines which serve the two stations serving the village of Tyndrum join together a few miles south of both stations; the next station is Crianlarich.
