We've missed Foulridge
I came back to the game just before 2300 hours: with my mistake [apologies !] thus pointed out, I was in process of endeavouring to "do things properly" by striking out my Bott Lane Halt; was going to re-post it in proper place -- it just so happened that right then, @DerekC , you posted Reedley Hallows Halt as above. Anyhow, "we know what we mean", and the proper sequence !

Great Harwood is the final closed station

Aka Snuffy Harrod

(My italics) -- I thought for a moment, that this was the "Cryptic clues -- station name" game, and we were faced with an anagram; then I Googled -- new fascinating fact !

I have just returned home from hospital (Monday morning 09:20) from where I have been in an observation ward since last Friday mid-afternoon. I have not been able to access any internet in that time.

I will launch the next new journey within the hour, but I want first to see what awaits me in my inbox.
