Pembrey Halt (slight apprehension that there might be something up the sleeve, which I haven't been envisaging here)

It keeps mildly surprising me how at the system's "peak", there were so many coincidental duplications in far-apart locations in Great Britain, of station names. I tend to encounter them -- often in the course of this Quiz -- then forget about them until the next time: as here -- this Meldon in Northumberland, as against the better-known spot of the same name, on Dartmoor on the LSWR system !

Next on the Wansbeck Railway: Angerton
