And Paddington to Waddington.

2 Ulverston is the only one not to have featured in a TV▸ (Thames Valley) series or a film.

Series 2, episode 4 of Michael Portillo's Great Coastal Railway Journeys featured him at Ulverston station. Tongue

Perhaps I should have inserted the word fictional somewhere.
