Station association

[Springs Branch]

A surprisingly high proportion of the railway stations which opened in 1866 have now closed.
Two which are still in operation are Mottingham and Meols.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leasowe was also opened by the Hoylake Railway and currently a DfT category "E" railway station.

 

[Springs Branch]

Horsham also saw the introduction of third-rail electric trains in 1938.

Hastings is also has had an art-deco style railway station.

Hastings is also an art-deco style railway station.

Hastings did have an art-deco style railway station....but its handsome 1931-built main building was demolished and replaced by a supremely ugly modern structure in 2004.

Apologies...the words "has had" were omitted from my posting and have now been added to it.

No problem....just a small point of information!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

It was I who made the last posting which named a railway station and we seem to be in an impasse.

 

[D6130]

Hastings is currently the limit of Southern Railway electrified services, even though the third rail continues to Ore, the next station towards Ashford.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ince was also opened in 1888 and has the lowest DfT category rating of F2.

 

[M-Train]

Southall is another station which electro-diesels often pass through but never serve.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hayes & Harlington is also a five-platform station with a DfT category rating of "D".

 

[Springs Branch]

Stansted Mountfitchet is also the last station on a historic main line prior to divergence of a modern-day branch line to an airport.

 

[D6130]

Audley End - which I always think should be renamed 'Saffron Walden Parkway' - is also situated on the Liverpool Street-Cambridge line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Shelford was also opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1845.

 

[Springs Branch]

Shelford was historically the junction for the Stour Valley Railway - a secondary through route which was closed at its northern end as part of the Beeching cuts, but still remains open at its southern end between Sudbury and Marks Tey.

Another railway named the Stour Valley line is the present day electrified main line between Wolverhampton and Birmingham New Street.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Glasgow Central is also managed by Network Rail.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Liverpool Lime Street also has bay platforms above ground, and through platforms beneath.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

London Bridge is also a major city station that opened in 1836.

 

[Springs Branch]

London Bridge is classified as a London Terminal for ticketing purposes, even though the greater fraction of trains serving the station do not terminate there.

Another "London Terminal" where no trains actually terminate is Old Street.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Goodmayes is also a four-platform station that was opened in 1901.

London Bridge is classified as a London Terminal for ticketing purposes, even though the greater fraction of trains serving the station do not terminate there.

Another "London Terminal" where no trains actually terminate is Old Street.

Is that much of a valid connection? Precisely zero trains can terminate at Old Street, whereas at LBG fully half of the station is terminus platforms…

The "core association" intended here was that both LBR and Old Street are classed as London Terminals for ticketing.
The bit about trains not terminating is more icing on the cake, or a lame attempt to justify picking what's probably the most obscure of the 'London Terminals'.
Half of the platforms at LBG may be terminal platforms, but the great majority of the trains serving the station call without originating or terminating there.

You don't need to look too far in this thread to find associations more tenuous than this one. I propose we continue from . . . .

Goodmayes is also a four-platform station that was opened in 1901.

 

[transportphoto]

Is anyone creative enough to think of somewhere that has something in common with Goodmayes?

 

[gabrielhj07]

Tamworth is another station that finds itself in category C2.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Shotton also has platforms on two levels.

 

[Springs Branch]

Penistone was also once on the Great Central Railway's network.

 

[D6130]

Darnall was also once electrified on the 1,500 v DC overhead system, but is no longer.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wennington is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened in 1849.

 

[Springs Branch]

Chinley was also an important junction on the pre-Grouping Midland Railway.
