Both Chatteris and St Ives are long closed. (Still a great song, especially if you know Chatteris).

St Ives isn't closed, regular service on a branch line from St Erth.

Just in case you're serious, we're talking about St Ives, Cambridgeshire, not the other one.

Is the OP referring to Railway Stations? IIRC Train Stations only exist in America ...

Rudy, by Supertramp. Cue Paddington station announcer:
"The 19.45 train to Bristol Temple Meads will depart from platform three, calling at Reading, Didcot, Swindon, Chippenham, Bath Spa and Bristol Temple Meads. Passengers for Ramsey, change at Didcot"
There's eight main-line stations right there.

First song I thought of when I saw this thread title.
