TRIVIA: Stations with Wetherspoons

[Mordac]

To celebrate yesterday's opening of The London and NorthWestern at Birmingham New Street (I was there for a pint to celebrate!), which stations have a Wetherspoons pub?

 

[DarloRich]

I don't go in Wetherspoons but there is one at Leeds station.

 

[Mag_seven]

London Victoria

 

[Mikey C]

In London also St Pancras, Cannon Street, Liverpool Street

 

[SteveyBee131]

There's one in spitting distance of Grimsby Town ('The Yarborough Hotel)

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Shotton has one right outside and Liverpool Lime Street has a large one inside.

 

[WideRanger]

Baker Street

 

[InOban]

The Corryvreckan is next door to Oban.

 

[Peterthegreat]

There's one at York station ('The Duke of York '), and one in spitting distance of Grimsby Town ('The Yarborough Hotel)

The Duke of York is not a Wetherspoon's pub.

I seem to recall from my student days that Aberystwyth has one on the station, complete with platform terrace.

 

[davews]

Do you mean 'in' the station? Clapham Junction has the London and South Western across the road.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Aberystwyth

Edit- beaten to it!

If we're including the immediate vicinity then Victoria has 2 - the Willow Walk is a 15 second walk from the side entrance.

 

[SteveyBee131]

The Duke of York is not a Wetherspoon's pub.

Apologies, it did come up some months ago when I did a search on a certain online search engine. I shall delete it from my post, to avoid any confusion.

Lowestoft is directly out front & was originally planned to be on the station concourse in a conservatory that adjoined the old station building.

Oxted is directly outside too next to the up platform.

Edinburgh Waverley in the old booking office.

Liverpool St has Hamilton Hall on the upper Bishopsgate level & was once the highest earning Spoon.

 

[robert thomas]

Neath has one opposite the station in the old Police Station

 

[FrodshamJnct]

Liverpool Lime Street has one, as does Leeds.

Liverpool Lime Street has one, as does Leeds.

I think they’ve been mentioned mate.

I seem to recall from my student days that Aberystwyth has one on the station, complete with platform terrace.

Still there & ridiculously busy every time I’ve been in town.

A slight twist on the question. I have been to the Aberystwyth one, great place to wait for a train and typically good Spoons prices. However the one at London Victoria despite being Wetherspoons seems to be normal London pub prices and expensive. Other Wetherspoons in London away from the stations do seem to be cheaper. So my question is, do the Wetherspoons at stations have typical Wetherspoons prices ??

No, they are all different but due to location & vastly different rental costs JDW never advertise prices online. You’ll find Airports are the most expensive then stations & some shopping Malls such as Trafford Centre. These outlets also do not accept the discount vouchers Spoons tend to give out once a year.

As an example two pints of exactly the same beer where once £8.68 at Gatwick Airport & later that afternoon in Bognor Regis £4.88.

There was one at Glasgow Queen Street but i think it may have closed down.

I don't go in Wetherspoons but there is one at Leeds station.

Had a recent refurbishment as well but cannot tell the difference.

 

[Mikey C]

In London, there's a definite divide between inner London and outer London, and it's not a straight geographical split. For example, the one nearest Canary Wharf is a lot more expensive than the Greenwich one, despite both being pretty central.

 

[dk1]

There was one at Glasgow Queen Street but i think it may have closed down.

Yes, that went with the redevelopment. Only a short skip across the road to The Counting House.

 

[Russel]

There was one at Glasgow Queen Street but i think it may have closed down.

If I remember correctly, it was in a basement, or at least partially underground?

 

[blue87]

There's one immediately outside Paisley Gilmour Street (The Last Post).

That cheap Spoons list is interesting, my closest 2 have identical prices (visited both this week already), but are over 100 places apart on the list. I wonder if there are a limited number of set tiers, so multiple Spoons with identical prices?

Very likely
