Note there is one more final closed station on this line which was the 1st station of that name. then on the final leg of the journey that follows, the first closed station on that line was the 2nd station using the same name.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Backworth (1st station)

 

[DerekC]

Benton Square 1909 -1915

On the opposite side of the road overbridge from Palmersville T&W Metro station so I think it's OK.


PS - I think we missed Holywell, between Seghill and Backworth

Benton Square 1909 -1915

On the opposite side of the road overbridge from Palmersville T&W Metro station so I think it's OK.

Prior to that, just after the junction, was Backworth (2nd station site)....so to finally name the last closed station on this journey....

Forest Hall (B&TR) (1864-1871)

I will launch the new next journey shortly.

I owe Ash Bridge an apology here. Holywell was the original name of Backworth (1st station). According to "Disused Stations" the name Holywell remained in use for goods purposes and the goods station remained open (still called Holywell) after the Backworth 1st station closed to passengers. So I have some excuse for getting confused!
