Into the countryside?

« on: November 15, 2015, 18:49:11 »

I think the CrossCountry train I'm currently on is really headed out into the countryside now .. next three stops are Chesterfield, Sheffield and Wakefield ....

Any other sequences like this??

As a twist, I frequently get a train which calls at Exeter Central, Exeter St Davids and Exeter St Thomas.

There are three stations on the Heart Of Wales line (Llanwrtyd, Llangammarch and Llandrindod) which were once suffixed with "Wells", although there are three stations between them which as far as I know never had the suffix (interestingly, one of these is "Builth Road", which I would assume could easily have been "Builth Wells Road").

Don't DOO^▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

How about St. Pancras International, Stratford International, Ebbsfleet International, and Ashford International. Makes for annoying on train announcements...

If (if, if, if) we get both of two potential pondered new stations in Bristol, we'll have Constable Road, Ashley Hill, Stapleton Road, Lawrence Hill.
