Closed Stations Journey quiz

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I think that after Womersley, we pass through the open stations of Knottingley and Pontefract Monkhill and then diverge northwards onto the Leeds line. The next closed station then being

Castleford Cutsyke

Correct on all counts....After that, we join the line of the LYR and GNR Methley Joint Railway where the first closed station we meet is......

Ardsley?

Sorry, but after Lofthouse and Outwood, we took the line of the East and West Yorkshire Union Railway, which has three closed stations upon it. See the guide notes on the journey preamble for information.

I don't have sufficient accurate information on this line

Problem solved, as the quiz has now moved on and we are about to join the line of the North Midland Railway.

Hunslet?

Hunslet?

That's an interesting one, considering the plethora of connecting lines in this area and you may well be right.

I think Hunslet was a good move because the connection between the E&WYUR and the NMR was north of Stourton station. In fact I am not sure that Stourton had platforms on the NMR. A 1908 map is the only one I can find that shows it, with platforms on the E&WYUR but not on the NMR.

Update - there also appears to have been a cross-connection southwards via Rothwell Haigh Sidings, so we could have reversed at Stourton (E&WYUR) and gained the NMR that way.
