Leominster Railway Station
Leominster railway station lies on the Welsh Marches Line serving the Herefordshire town of Leominster in England. It is situated north of Hereford. Leominster has 2 operational platforms for north (Ludlow) and south (Hereford) bound trains respectively, though in the past it had three more to the east of the ones now in use. History Developed jointly by the Great Western Railway and the LNWR, it was originally a through station on their joint Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway. The GWR then took over two independently financed and developed branch lines, creating a busy junction station: *Leominster and Kington Railway to Kington and Presteigne (Platforms 3/4) *Worcester, Bromyard and Leominster Railway to Worcester (Platforms 4/5) Both branches were however closed to passenger traffic by British Railways in the 1950s – services to Worcester ended in 1952 and to Kington in 1955. Facilities The station has a ticket office on platform 1, that is manned on a part-time basis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leominster
Leominster ( ) is a market town in Herefordshire, England, at the confluence of the River Lugg and its tributary the River Kenwater. The town is north of Hereford and south of Ludlow in Shropshire. With a population of 11,700, Leominster is the largest of the five towns (Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Bromyard and Kington) in the county. From 1974 to 1996, Leominster was the administrative centre for the former local government district of Leominster. Toponymy The town takes its name from the English word minster, meaning a community of clergy and the original Celtic name for the district ''Leon'' or ''Lene'', probably in turn from an Old Welsh root ''lei'' to flow. The Welsh name for Leominster is ''Llanllieni'', with Llan suggesting a possible Celtic origin to the town's religious community. Contrary to certain reports, the name has nothing to do with Leofric, an 11th-century Earl of Mercia (most famous for being the miserly husband of Lady Godiva). History Duri ...

Stockport Railway Station
Stockport railway station in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England, is 8 miles south-east of Manchester Piccadilly on the West Coast Main Line to London Euston. History The Manchester and Birmingham Railway opened in stages from Manchester and reached Stockport in 1840. The line ran from a temporary station in Manchester to another in Stockport at the north end of the uncompleted Stockport Viaduct. The temporary station, which was later renamed Heaton Norris, was Stockport's only station for more than two years. After the viaduct was completed, the M&BR built a station at its southern end as an experiment. The decision was prompted by complaints that the first station was a long way from the industrial parts of town and even farther from the residential districts on the south side. The second station opened on 15 February 1843 as Edgeley. By 1844, it was the town's principal station. Heaton Norris, at the north end of the viaduct, closed in 1959. The station was operated by t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
