Alphabet Stations Challenge

Hillington West

Surely there are stations in the North East of England that start with an H. (Hartlepool, Heworth, Hexham, Heighington)

I'll play Ilkley for I, as it seems to be the nearest station.

Ulleskelf is the nearest U, methinks.

The nearest "V" station to the North-East appears to be in Wales.

I think York counts as being in the North West, no?

Don't let yorkie have sight of this geographical faux pas....

It does, but do you mind if we do Wylam first?
I thought this quiz went alphabetically.
Also, I thought we were doing North EAST

However, Yarm is most certainly in the North-East

 

[backontrack]

Certainly not the north west. :razz: As for York counting, I'm not sure it's in the 'north east' per se (Tyne & Wear, Teeside, Northumberland, County Durham). However, when letters haven't had stations in that region, I've personally used wherever's nearest, so I would allow York on that basis.

York would be good on a Yorkshire version; but I propose that we first visit the North West. There are many stations in Greater Manchester/Merseyside, so I suggest we avoid these and only use Cumbria, Lancashire and parts of North Yorkshire, as per this photoshopped
map.

Horton-in-Ribblesdale

I realise it is located within the Greater Manchester boundary but would Ince be accepted?

One may note that the only "J" station that also is outside the stated area is....
