Very few trains stop at both Lelant and Lelant Saltings
Most trains that call at Lelant Saltings also call at Lelant, albeit by request. Only exceptions are 2tpd on a Saturday, which are admittedly the only St Ives-bound services to call at LTS on a Saturday.

Would oxenholme and carnforth apply.
No as there are no WCML platforms at Carnforth.

Similar to the situation at Ravensthorpe where the platforms are on the Dewsbury lines so Wakefield trains cannot stop there (for now).

For much of the day, and all weekends, South Croydon and Sanderstead. Some up stoppers am, down stoppers pm, mostly for school traffic. Yes, clearly that’s means it’s not “never” but a few exceptions to a clock-face timetable is worth mentioning.

Taunton or Kent
Winchelsea and Three Oaks are another pair that come to mind. Both have a limited service and the trains that do stop tend to stop at one and not the other.
They're not adjacent as Doleham is in between them, and even though that gets an even less regular service than those two, it still physically separates them.

If we're doing 'very few trains call at both' as well as no service altogether there's Church Fenton and Micklefield . Only a service in the early morning and late evening.

I don't think anything calls at Queen's Park on the WCML slows, so does Euston to Queen's Park, and Queen's Park to Wembley Central count on the basis that the DC lines are a separate through route beyond Camden Jn? If so, then Queen's Park to Camden Road also counts.

Also South Hampstead to Camden Road and West Hampstead TL to Upper Holloway.

Newport and Pye Corner on the Ebbw Vale branch (for now; a service is to be introduced in the next year or two).

What's it called? It's called Cumbernauld
In West Central Scotland:

Springburn to Ashfield or Bishopbriggs (or from anywhere to any of the other two points of the triangle)
Kings Park - Muirend
Cumbernauld - Larbert
Carstairs to either Lockerbie or Carluke/Motherwell on Sundays as at Carstairs there is "No Sunday Service" (same for Coatbridge Central).


In the West Midlands:

Langley Green - Smethwick Rolfe Street
Small Heath - Birmingham New Street or Water Orton
Coleshill Parkway - Wilnecote
Walsall - Water Orton or Wilnecote
Walsall - Wolverhampton via Willenhall (although a regular passenger service is planned to be introduced in the near future)
Wolverhampton - Bescot Stadium

No as a lot of services call at both. Albeit with a reversal at Temple Meads.

I would say it does count as there is track between Dr Days Junction and Feeder Bridge Junction that cuts the corner to save having to go into Temple Meads so as to come back out again.

I don't know if the Bristol Parkway - Bath Spa afternoon train still runs or not, but that was the route it took.

How are you judging this? Would Saxilby and Hykeham, Barnetby and ulceby
Saxilby and Hykeham doesn't count since the route takes in the curve between Pyewipe and Boutham Junctions which has no scheduled passenger service.

Cosham to Bedhampton is another example. I can't find any trains that call at both, everything that runs between the two only calls at Cosham
