From a railway context, what do these GB towns/cities (and only these, to the best of my knowledge) have in common?
- Liverpool
- Manchester
- Bradford
- Wrexham
Could it be that these four -- and no others -- have, or have had, a station called "[town's name] Exchange"?

Could we have the answer at least?Hope Exchange or not -- I'll decline the floor, thanks; am about to have a spell away, out of Internet reach.
I saw it. People remembering it without looking at the picture though? No chance.Still with Hope Exchange station, did anyone notice the mistake on the station nameboard in the picture in the Wiki article? If so, what was it - and was it a mistake? (no peeping now, folks!)
Are we allowed to look at the picture (I assume so)
I think I've found an error, having looked at the picture, but not having seen it before I had even less chance, but it probably isn't the error you're looking for anyway!

Well I assumed it was ‘Change’ looking like it says ‘Chance’, hence my rather clunky clue...What do you think that it is, please?
I think Denbigh is misspelled?

Well spotted. I reckon that might be it.Disregarding the fact that Gs look like Cs in the typeface used, there's a comma missing in the list of stations in the bottom line, which implies that there is a station/destination called "Denbigh Ruthin".

Has anyone got Ebbw_Junctions phone number?
Didn't the LNER make a mistake by saying "change for L&NW line", given that the L&NWR was defunct by the time the LNER was in a position to be erecting signs? Should have said "change for LMS line".Still with Hope Exchange station, did anyone notice the mistake on the station nameboard in the picture in the Wiki article?

No. It was to be named after a personMaybe another river, River Bleng?
Close. You're thinking along the right lines. Further clue : this person died very shortly after the R&ER became a miniature railwayI wondered about Bassett-Lowke maybe?
