Anyone got an example of major, successful urban train station *not* located in or adjacent to its CBD?

possibly...I need some more clarification of the parameters here--what is major & successful? how far from CBD?

Context for the discussion was Buffalo Central Terminal and Michigan Central Station. Did they fail b/c of distance?

ok--so, a city's *primary* intercity station being moved (or built) outside the CBD

best analogy I can think of in Japan would be the siting of certain Shinkansen stations, like the one in Gifu

or the new one in Hakodate--both stops are well outside the city centers and need lengthy connections to get there

but (fwiw) the connections exist, and the old downtown stations are also still used (just not by HSR)
