The linked document "Part D: Annexes" claims not to list any Scottish stations (but see below). It does, however, state that there are 25 category A stations, and since 22 are listed (mostly in England), we can hazard a guess that the three other Category A stations are Edinburgh Waverley, Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street. Also omitted from the list are certain English stations, including: Amersham, Chalfont & Latimer, Chorleywood, Greenford, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Heathrow Central, Heathrow Terminal 4, Heathrow Terminal 5, Rickmansworth. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 21:04, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
I only see 21 listed in the category.

Conon Bridge, Dalcross and Gogar are listed as categories F2, F2 and E respectively, even though they're not open yet. More puzzling, they're in Scotland, and Scottish stations are otherwise ignored. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 21:03, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Guiseley is listed on p. 102 (Acrobat 14/25) as category D, and also on p. 110 (Acrobat 22/25) as category F1. Some other stations are dual-categorised, but in these cases it's OK because the station has two or more distinct sections, such as the high- and low-level sections of Liverpool Lime Street. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 21:53, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
A and B are the same in terms of trips per annum, as are C1 and C2. There don't seem to be any other objective criteria that distinguish them. Are there any, which I can't see from reading the references? Or are they entirely subjective? (For example, why is Loughborough C1 but Horsham C2? Needless to say I'm not complaining, only asking :) ) — Smjg ( talk) 23:37, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Ref [1] (which I can't get into at work) supports the statement that the categories were introduced in 1996. But pp66–67 of The Network SouthEast Story 1982–2014 (Chris Green and Mike Vincent, 2014, ISBN 978-0-86093-653-4) has this: "There was an urgent need to codify more than 900 [Network SouthEast] stations to create a single NSE portfolio. Table 6.2 shows how this was delivered by identifying five station categories that remain the foundation stone of the railway to this day." The table names Categories A–E as "Large London termini", "Other large stations", "Large suburban stations", "Small suburban stations" and "Local unstaffed stations" respectively. Any thoughts on how this should be reflected in the article, if at all? Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:18, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Ref [1], [2], [3] all manage to load what I think is the first page of the pdfs - I’m unable to scroll more! Is anyone having the same issues? Trains2021 ( talk) 19:46, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
Strange, I’ll try again on desktop today. Thanks. Trains2021 ( talk) 08:17, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
