How did you visit Worcestershire Parkway as I thought it had not opened yet?

 

[Gathursty]

When I passed Lympstone Commando in both directions late on Friday night, no one needed to use the station. The station has been updated with lighting. When I went there a few years ago, I quickly jumped the wooden fence, took a photo of the sign then jumped back over.

Norton Fitzwarren - I walked through a small field to get as close as possible to the platform. There was no station sign and it was possible to jump the fence and cross the track but the adjacent works had people milling about so I thought better. Saying that, I was within 10 metres of the halt which was close enough for me.

Worcestershire Parkway - it's almost built and there was a clear sign outside it. I've sailed through it recently on XC with people building the car park. I just parked up off the roundabout and had a little nosy. That's enough for me.

Ah... fair enough - we make our own rules I suppose. I only count stations I've either boarded or alighted a train at... but I wouldn't count alighting and boarding the same service (i.e. hopping onto the platform and back on the train again!). I think I just make things difficult for myself sometimes.

Hope you enjoyed your trip to the 'sunny' South West!

I do the same as you Wolvercoter. I only count getting back on the same train if it’s at a terminus or a reversal point.

This is how I do it as well I only count visiting a station if I get off or on from a train and actually go on the platform, the only time I use the same train is if the same train forms a different service.
