Last time we passed this way we went through to Guild Street, which seemed a bit doubtful to me. It turns out that there was a horse tram which made the connection!

Looking at the engineers drawing, the line diverged at Bucknall and Northwood, but there are two stations on this latest line prior to Ford Green and Smallthorne.

HINT : the first of these begins with "F".

Well, Iam hopelessly lost on this one Paul, the best I can offer is...

Fenton Manor?
