Trivia: Stations that don't get a mention here

[ushawk]

Not a lot of Borough Green and Wrotham on here, nor is there any Woodmansterne, Buxted or Fishersgate !! My nominations.

All mentioned.....Buxted in a topic made by myself a while back it seems !!

Golf Street and Barry Links stations between Carnoustie & Broughty Ferry though mind you there very small stations and don't get a regular service

 

[Elecman]

Squires Gate?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I see 10 non-Quiz threads for Hutton Cranswick

These were both mentioned within the last week though.

 

[thenorthern]

They have been mentioned a few times but East Garforth, Kents Bank and Allens West seem quite quiet.

 

[6Gman]

Tal y Cafn?

 

[Class172]

We say the majority of certain mentions are coming from the Quiz Forum; I'd be inclined to narrow that source down to "The Next Station Is..."

A bit tongue in cheek this. In 1971 as a railway trainee I was issued a priv from Lavington Berks and Hants) to Reading. Handwritten of course. Needless to say Lavington had been closed for some years! However I thinkg Lavington gets a mention every now and again as a timing /reference point.

 

[backontrack]

After my posting earlier, I tried some stations in the Far North out. Kinbrace has a total 23* mentions, as does Fearn.

We never refer to Thorpe Bay, only its alter-ego Twerp.

*now 24.

 

[Busaholic]

How about Grange Hill, the only station to inspire a fictionalised comprehensive school on TV? (Unless Waterloo Road was ever the name of a station.)

 

[tractakid]

I'll suggest Jibou.

 

[backontrack]

Duirinish (15 mentions).

 

[herschell]

I've run out of ideas and stations that are near me though there are historical railways with stations that I can mention, the Caladonian Railway with Bridge of Dun-Brechin and I believe the line used to reach to Montrose to what is now Caladonian Sheltered housing but does retain it's features from when it was a station.

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

My local station has no scheduled sevices as it's a request stop on the Barton Line (aka Humberlinc Line). The station has no lighting which limits service to midday hours. When it is served it's by a single 153 Super Sprinter once every 2 hours which makes it unpopular as buses are cheaper and frequent. The TPE train drives past not stopping despite it's carpark capacity. It's New Clee.

This thread needs some added Wem (Welsh Marches Line)

 

[Quakers Yard]

Dingle road
Cogan
Ynyswen
Cynghordy
Penally
Lake
Never seen mentioned. .apologies if they have!

 

[GatwickDepress]

Aside from people discussing the wonderful station building, has Wadhurst been mentioned much?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Eastrington has 14.

Not a lot of Borough Green and Wrotham on here,

Not a lot of anything between Swanley and Ashford.

If I pretend those don't exist, can I win?

 

[thenorthern]

I don't think I have ever seen Colchester Town mentioned on here or Chester Road.

 

[Howardh]

Kearsley. Mainly on the grounds that I've never, ever seen a passenger get on or off there. It's like sticking Pluto inbetween Saturn and Jupiter .

Someone will come on here and say "oh it's the second busiest station in the whole of Greater Manchester". Might be on Halloween with people trying to locate the ghosts...

EDIT. 193 hits/posts. Booo.

Few

This thread needs some added Wem (Welsh Marches Line)

Of those tiddly little halts between Shrewsbury and Crewe, I'd suggest Prees or Yorton more than Wem...

EDIT: should really have checked first, there's dozens for Prees!

Bit late to this thread...

 

[Requeststop]

Although those include the quiz forum, which the OP did say we could exclude. Portlethen appears 41 times via the forum search. I can beat that with 27 mentions for Roose (edit - and I reckon that I'm responsible for a good half dozen of those ). Of course, this thread is nicely self-defeating for this!

I guess what we want are the second or third stations of medium sized towns, on quiet lines, without any notable service pattern or other feature.

Edit-
Ah: realized that the forum search is not useful for multiword stations!

Thank you for the defense of my earlier post. I did say that I had never seen a Post on Moreton (Merseyside). Unlike the Moderator(s) I don't actually read every post and thread and that is my defense.

 

[backontrack]

Eastrington has 14.

Beat my Duirinish by one!

Lochluichart has 16.

I don't think I have ever seen Colchester Town mentioned on here or Chester Road.

Sorry, Colchester Town got a mention in the 'curves that end up in the opposite direction' thread. My fault

And in a couple of other threads.

When I had reason to foray deep into the Rhondda Valley, I'd sometimes get a lift from Cardiff and was intrigued by this strange station. On one side of it is a cliff, on the other is an A road with no pedestrian access which separates it from the town. There is emergency access at street level, the station is accessed through a subway.

 

[NSE]

Dullingham, or maybe Eden Park. I'm gonna add Lake on the Isle of Wight. Though I'm out right now and can't search :P

 

[306024]

Dullingham has nearly more mentions on here than passengers
