Rochdale station is on the Calder Valley Line (previously known as the Caldervale Line); one of the Easterly termini is Selby.
Ty Croes translates to English as "Cross House" and, so far as I can ascertain, is one of only two surviving stations with names directly linked simply to a settlement where two roads crossed. The other survivor is Cross Gates, then just a small village a few miles from Leeds. "Gate", in this sense, is from an old Norse word "gat", meaning "road" or "path".
Slightly tenuous, I admit.
but I'm happy to be corrected.... and please ensure that all associations are rail related: a separate game exists for non rail related links.
Hi, this posting is more appropriate for Settlement Association instead of Station AssociationTy Croes translates to English as "Cross House" and, so far as I can ascertain, is one of only two surviving stations with names directly linked simply to a settlement where two roads crossed.

Hawarden Bridge is another TFW served request stop.Ty Croes is also a DfT category F2 station that was opened by the Chester and Holyhead Railway in 1848.
Chester is also one stop away from Shotton.Hawarden Bridge is another TFW served request stop.
