Hanwood Road (aka Edgebold)

The Wikipedia PS&NW map shows this station on the wrong side of the crossing of the Shrewsbury & Welshpool, which made it unclear to start with as to whether Hanwood Road (PS&NW) and Edgebold (S&MR) were the same station.

We seem to have omitted the S&MR stations at Cruckton and Shoot Hill. Both were between Hanwood Road and Ford.

PS - and Meole Brace, between Shrewsbury West and Redhill

I am aware of the situation so prevailing, but this leg is the original Potteries, Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway which entered into financial difficulties and when the line was then re-opened, it was known as the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Light Railway, which opened new stations to those of those of the original railway.

I had a feeling that something of the confusion that has occurred might do so, but still decided to launch this leg of the journey with the name of the original railway company.
