In answer to the query raised concerning Symington can I draw attention to Rule 4 which is quoted in full above, as Symington is one of the examples shown in it.

The evidence is that the two sites at Symington were about 400 yards apart, which in other cases has been sufficient to justify inclusion of both stations.

The currently opened Walsden station was constructed extremely near to the site of the original Manchester and Leeds railway station and as such, has been shown as one of the examples in Rule 4 for a good number of years on this quiz.
