I think we missed Black Dog, between Waverton and Tattenhall

GENERAL INFORMATION

1)...The only station called Black Dog Halt that I am aware of was situated on the short three-station GWR Chippenham to Calne Line.

2)...In the past on this quiz, but apparently NOT on the journey we are on, we normally show the two stations that were in the Waverton area, which coming from the Chester direction would be:-
Waverton (2nd station.....1898-1959)
Waverton (1st station......1840-1898)
Have a look at rule 5 of this quiz, that is shown on the very first posting on this quiz

The first Waverton station was originally called Black Dog

I wonder why the two Waverton station were not mentioned on this journey, as they always seem to be mentioned every other time we pass this way.

I was not online at the time when Waverton station was posted, otherwise I would have commented at that time.

To be fair Rule 5 does leave it open to judgement (even though it does mention Waverton specifically)

We are going a bit fast with the corrections! If I delete Pant from this posting and reinstate Llynclys (original) in my last one that should fix it.

Is not one of the running in boards from this station now residing at Brookside Garden Centre, Poynton, Cheshire?
