Nearest train station to a postcode

Hi,
I'm travelling to Collect a car from a garage 200 miles away, is there a website that will tell you what the nearest train station is to the garage using its postcode ?

The garage is proving particualry useless at helping me out.

Best bet is tap in "train station <place name>" in google maps.

Should get you the local train stations.

type the postcode into street map and look at the map for train stations.

where are you going?

The best way is to use thetrainline.com and go to Find Nearest Station:

http://www.thetrainline.com/Station_Search/browse_stations.asp

Just scroll down to the Post Code bit and type it in.

NOTE: Once you get the name of the station check that it is a passenger station (use http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/ ). I have a few freight depots near me and they also show up for some reason.

MultiMap will do that for you.
