I guess that Wrexham Exchange doesn't count because one of its platforms became part of Wrexham General. However should we not have gone to Rhosrobin or Rhosddu to reverse? The connection between the Wrexham & Ellesmere and Chester & Shrewsbury lines appears to have been north of Wrexham Exchange/General. I am not sure what the rules are about reversing

Have a look at Rule 2 of this thread.

Rhosddu Halt was situated on the Great Central Railway line from Bidston to Wrexham Central. As this was not a line specified on the preamble to this journey, it could not have been allowed.

Rhosrobin Halt was situated on the line that we are currently traversing, but to have used it, we would have been travelling in a northerly direction, whereas we are travelling in a southerly direction towards Shrewsbury.

Just a reminder that day two of our hospital visits to elderly family members is on Tuesday, the next one being to Clifton Hospital at Lytham St Annes, so hopefully I will be back on line sometime in the evening.

When the quiz rules were being formulated, I think that it was decided that all former stations that were reopened as Light Rail stations were not allowed on the quiz. In this case, the Midland Metro is the light rail system in question.

Have a look at Rule 7.

 

[dzug2]

In that case Bilston West

My reasoning was that the new Midland Metro station was on a different site

I understand your reasoning, but the extreme closeness of the two sites on the same curved stretch of line is indeed a point to ponder over.
