I love creativity and people finding the quirky associations (such as the one here from @EbbwJunction1.)

I also acknowledge the concern raised by @RDP and @Xenophon PCDGS that it may not wholly fit with the concept of the game.

Without setting precedent, I’d be happy to continue from either Forres, or Georgemas Junction.

Harlech used to be an RETB token-exchange point. Georgemas Junction is also an RETB token-exchange point.
Assuming this was the last valid move...

Abergele & Pensarn was another station that saw Class 37 & coaching stock before DMUs took over the services.

Langadog station, like several others on the line including Llanwrda, has an automated half barrier level crossing at one end (in this case the northern one).

[I understand the concerns raised following my previous post, and am happy with the suggested remedy.]

Beaulieu Road is another station on the Waterloo-Weymouth line with no ticket issuing facilities although both have permit to travel machines.

Ashurst New forest was previously known as Lyndhurst Road. Another station to have undergone a name change is Folkestone West previously known as Shorncliffe.

Lympstone Commando was built primarily to serve the nearby army barracks, but the adjoining footpath, the Exe Estuary Trail, allows public visitors to alight there. Similarly, Longcross was opened to serve a nearby military facility-turned-film studio, both inaccessible to the general public, but the development of a nearby housing estate has allowed more passengers to use the station.

Longcross is five stations towards Staines from Wokingham. Five station towards Guildford from Wokingham is North Camp.

A former branch line once existed from Folkestone Central to connect with the ferries at Folkestone Harbour, officially closing in 2014. Another such case could be seen from Tilbury Town, where a triangle branch line deviated to now-closed Tilbury Riverside station.

The branch was from Folkestone East not Folkestone Central.
