I can't help wondering whether Southport Ash Street should count separately from St Luke's. Ash Street was replaced by the WLR platforms at St Lukes in 1902 and the new platforms (according to OS 1:2500 map evidence) overlapped with the old ones although slightly further east. The platforms were clearly moved to allow the junction between the Preston and Manchester lines to be modified to allow Preston line trains to run to Chapel Street.
I wonder if Rule 6 could be said to cover this query.

There's a bit of a grey area between Rule 4 and Rule 6. In any case it's an interesting little bit of railway history. There is always a reason. But as always, umpire's decision is final!
