Closed Stations Journey quiz

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gillfoot

There has been much discussion in past years over this particular entity, which was always known as a goods station. For the sake of good order, it has never been deemed a passenger station as such on this quiz nor accepted therefore as a posting submission.

There is still one more closed station to name on this short line, before we access the following line.

It's the Schrödinger's Cat of West Cumbria railway stations!

Woodend

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I am indeed well aware that it does appear in some sources, but the more highly accepted ones tend not to show it other than being a goods station. It does not appear in my copy of Jowett.

Have you found a passenger timetable that shows it?

Moor Row

 

[backontrack]

Surely the only place anyone will find that timetable is inside the Holy Grail?

No, I have not found it.

Cleator Moor East or Cleator Moor (1st), depending on which route we take

Frizington

Remember what the preamble note on this line said, as it affects the next station

 

[backontrack]

I know this area quite well, so it's actually easier for me than when we're in the Valleys (where I often get lost, as you can attest!)

Yeathouse (rather than Eskett)
