Well done to all participants on that last "Journey" which was the 41st in the series so far. Perhaps I should be publishing a book on these..:D

A recent posting on a thread about British railways that were steam, then electric, then reverting to steam traction has made me design a special journey that will celebrate one such railway, in particular.

It will also be an instance of referring to the rules and to make an announcement at the start of the quiz that this journey will start at a CLOSED station.

The journey starts at the closed station of Holcombe Brook
It follows the line of the Bury and Tottington District Railway
It then follows the line of the Manchester, Bury and Rossendale Railway
It then follows the line of the Manchester and Leeds Railway
It then follows the line of the York and North Midland Railway
It then follows the line of the York to Beverley line
The journey ends at the open station of Beverley

As already stated, the first closed station is Holcombe Brook

It is definitely the last closed station on this last quiz before it ended at the OPEN station of Exmouth. Littleham station opened in June 1903 and closed in March 1967.

Are you ready to participate upon the new "special" journey, just announced?

No disagreement - my comment was an aside, not a query

Ready - but will be out most of the day
