This page is dedicated to those things that don't fit easily into other pages. Additional items will be added as and when the editor thinks they will be of interest to readers. Feel free to send any suggestions.
Which stations… have the greatest variety of name signs?
Most likely Handforth.
Which stations… are listed?
This document dated 1979 is a British Rail catalogue of its listed buildings 7.2Mb file. It is not limited to stations; there are undoubtedly other designations since then.
Which stations… have post boxes on them?
To qualify for this list, the post box must be on the station platform or in a concourse area (i.e. they would become inaccessible to the public if the station were locked shut). Boxes mounted in or near exterior walls publicly accessible from the street do not count here. This list is believed to be current at 2019 with subsequent alterations where known.
Some stations, e.g. Rugby, have more than one post box on site.
Royal Mail's Railnet terminals are shown here.

Which stations… were built in a triangular arrangement?
Platforms are required on all three sides to qualify here. Please contact the editor if you can prove (or otherwise) the arrangement where detail is unclear.
Ambergate
Bishop Auckland
Earlestown
Forres unclear if south-to-east platforms existed
Queensbury
Rutherglen
Shipley
Wood Lane London Underground Central line
Dinting had three sets of platforms but was not built in a triangular arrangement. When built it had platforms on the main east-west line and on the east-south branch to Glossop. The layout was later rearranged with today's west-south curve (with platforms), which severed the earlier curve and platforms. A new east-south curve was built on a new alignment without platforms.
Which stations… are not accessible by road?
Generally, stations are accessible by footpath. Some exist(ed) for interchange only. Some were constructed by heritage railways or access arrangements changed post-preservation.

Which stations… have names reflecting commerce?
Generally the stations listed were named according to the 'business' (in its loosest sense) they serve rather than to commemorate a site. Thus, for example, stations named after public houses are shown even if a community later took the name, but not stations named after the community that was itself named after the public house.
All stations are on the national network unless stated otherwise. Terms in [square brackets] are to aid identification only and are not part of the name. The nature of the naming is given; the term 'pub' refers to any public house, hostelry, inn or hotel.
Note that not all stations are currently open and words such as 'halt' are omitted. The list is somewhat subjective; the editor's decision is final, but generally the 'benefit of the doubt' is given.
The reader is invited to explore these pages to find out more about church and pub name derivations, including for non-station assets.

Which stations… have the largest concourse?
London Bridge (150,000m² from 2018 when rebuilding completed)
Which stations… were built but never opened?

Which stations… are served only by companies other than the station facility operator (SFO)?
Full list on this page.
Which stations… have the longest platforms?
These stations have platforms 450m-long or longer. Lengths are official operational lengths where known; physical lengths can be longer especially where platforms are connected end-to-end (for example, the combined platform at Manchester's Victoria and Exchange stations was 681m long).
Cheriton 791m long
Bournemouth platform 3/4 combined; 522m long
Gloucester platform 1/2 combined; 494m long
Edinburgh Waverley platform 10/11 combined; 492m long
Perth platform 4; 473m long
Aberdeen platform 6; 460m long
Darlington platform 4; 458m long
Crewe platform 6; 450m long
For Bournemouth, Gloucester and Edinburgh Waverley, the combined length allows a single long train to use both platforms simultaneously. Other stations where at least one platform is a bay could be a longer combined length (e.g. Colchester often quoted at ≈593m long).
Which stations… have the shortest platforms?
These stations have platforms 30m-long or shorter. Lengths are official operational lengths where known; those prefixed with ≈ are measured from mapping systems.

Which stations… had CLASP buildings?
CLASP ('Consortium Local Authority Special Programme') was a system of prefabricated concrete panels designed as a quick and easy method of making utility buildings (e.g. schools and hospitals). Thirty Southern region and three Western region stations had CLASP buildings replacing their traditional ones. Most have since been replaced though some remain (e.g. Wool).
