I was not aware of a first station site available at Prestatyn, but now I see there was. Sorry about that!

Incidentally there is also a first station at Llandudno Junction (1858-1897) should this ever crop up on a future journey.

My source doesn't appear to have first stations on it, so that is why!

GUIDE NOTE SECTION...RULE 5 CLARIFICATION

Section 1
In response to recent PM received by me with regards to rule 5 shown above, the matter of the more deep and learned railway station historical knowledge of railway stations, where different sites were involved, NOTING THE COMMENT CONCERNING DISTANCES, it is hereby agreed that postings with the knowledge of such matters that state for example, all three of the locations on the closed Long Eaton stations, both the locations of closed railway stations at Waverton on the Crewe and Chester Railway and at Port Dinorwic on the Bangor and Caernarvon Railway WILL be allowed.

Section 2
With regards to the associated matter of where more than one station site have been in existence, noting the very large numbers of these, it is up to each individual contestant to make a decision as to whether they wish to make such a posting.

Perhaps a useful moment to note the above, especially the emboldened part of Section 2.
