The demise of "Victoria's" (as a suffix for station names)

[Western Sunset]

Another current thread (about Nottingham being out on a limb) mentioned the demise of stations with the Victoria suffix.

Can anyone added to this list?

Still open:
London Victoria
Manchester Victoria - though a shadow of its former self
Southend Victoria

Closed and long gone:
Norwich Victoria
Nottingham Victoria
Sheffield Victoria
Swansea Victoria


Barnstaple had a Victoria Road, and Belfast a Great Victoria Street and a Victoria Park Halt

 

[Sir Felix Pole]

St. Budeaux (Victoria Road) on the Gunnislake branch. Roche on the Newquay branch was opened as Victoria - a more geographically accurate name.

There is Victoria Street Station (that is how it appears in the timetable) on the Lemvigbanen in Denmark.

The Isle of Grain once had Port Victoria which had it's own railway station and pier. This was later downgraded to a concrete halt before being replaced by Grain station in the 1950's then closed.

Fortunately, you can still get near to the site on the odd railtour

There was a Victoria Park station on the North London Line

Northwich Victoria?

There was a Victoria station in Ebbw Vale, now the site of Ebbw Vale Parkway.

Northwich Victoria?

Despite various "difficulties" over the last couple of decades or so Northwich Victoria still exists. But it is of course a football team!

Victoria Terminus, Bombay

Acha, Sahib - VT of course.

Like Manchester Victoria it expanded greatly then contracted again !

There was another Victoria Park in Whiteinch on the Caledonian’s line along the north side of the Clyde.

Since we've ventured away from the UK, there's Victoria station on the Athens metro line 1

Victoria Kent in Spain on line C1 Málaga-Fuengirola.

Victoria Terminus, Bombay

Sadly no more, it's now Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus - CST.

But they chose the same name for the airport! Therefore, Sahar Airport is now Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport!

The station is still there in all its glory !

 

[Sunil_P]

I know, I know! Just the name's changed!

But imagine if there was a "Heathrow Railway Station" in central London

Victoria Kent in Spain on line C1 Málaga-Fuengirola.

That rings a bell, I have used that line from the airport to the city centre so probably called there. Wondered why it was called that, a distinctly un-Spanish sounding name, particularly the "Kent" part!

Victoria (BC) station?

I have the feeling there is a station with "Victoria" in the name in the Montreal metro but not completely sure.

There is a local 'Victoria' beer down that way.

Victoria (BC) station?

Service 'indefinitely suspended' since 2011, sadly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria–Courtenay_train. It appears that the station has been demolished and its site cut off from the railway line by a new bridge without rail provision.

I have the feeling there is a station with "Victoria" in the name in the Montreal metro but not completely sure.

The word Victoria is not "distinctly un-Spanish" at all. That South American revolutionary bloke of t-shirt fame is often displayed with the slogan "Hasta la Victoria siempre".

Kent, I'll give you.

Victoria Park on the Melbourne,Victoria suburban line to Hurstbridge.

All railway stations in the Australian State of Victoria would have Victoria as part of their address.

Ah OK, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. Didn't realise that train service had been suspended, though first read about it prior to a visit to BC in 2004.
