I always think this closed station sounds like a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

A good thought - but the big house of that name seems to have been owned by Joneses since at least 1621 so if there is a connection to Northern Ireland it's a long way back!

Pencader Junction

Pencader Junction

Can reference to be made to Rule 6 of the quiz that shows that station as being one that is NOT allowed to be used on the quiz.

Also Pencader seems to have been missed

 

[DerekC]

I owe Tim an apology. There were separate Pencader Junction (1866 - 1880 approx.) and Pencader stations and I misled him by entering Pencader and then adding "Junction" which I think went in just after he had entered Llanpumpsaint.

Can I suggest that the exclusion of Pencader Junction under Rule 6 is incorrect. There is a precise description of its location on the "Disused Stations" website and it was used from 1866 to about 1880, so was more than a temporary station.

Newly updated rules effective from October 2016


(Rule 6)....With regards to temporary stations from the very early days of the railways, which are now closed, the ruling is if there is a definite known site location, any such stations are deemed to be acceptable.

However, if there is any vagueness or lack of exact knowledge as to the existing station site location which may well be near to another station, then such stations are NOT acceptable on the quiz.

Examples of such disallowed stations being both Cairney station and Lasswade Road station on the line of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway and Pencader Junction that jointly served the M&MR and C&CR).

I show Rule 6 in its entirety, following on from my earlier posting that made reference to that rule. No exceptions are to be made to this rule.

The Disused Stations website information clearly states that the exact location of Pencader Junction is not known, which therefore brings it under the strictures of Rule 6.
