Ninewells Junction (dates unclear)

Wikipedia quotes 1845 to 1846 but this seems unlikely since the railway wasn't opened into Dundee until May 1847 unless it was a temporary arrangement during completion. Two other sources say 1864 to 1865.

Thanks Derek for pointing this out. I have amended the Wikipedia article on Ninewells station to read--- open 1864 closed 1865 to agree with the two other sources.
If anyone else finds errors in Wikipedia then please let me know as I have access to make minor amendments.

In fact this wasn't missed - see post #66663

Dysart

Sinclairtown

(The station was relocated, based on OS map evidence, between 1897 and 1914. However the move was only to the other side of the St Clair street bridge so I guess we can only count one.)

Indeed, that certainly falls under the ruling of Rule 4.

Slateford 1st station (1848 - ??)

About 300 yd south west of the current station. Shown on OS maps pf 1855. Moved by 1897. There was also a CR temporary station for the Edinburgh Exhibition of 1890 somewhere near Slateford Junction, but I can't find an exact location.
