Weeton?

Weeton station is very much open with over 60,000 footfalls in the 2011/12 statistics.

Arthington 1st station

Ever had the feeling that it is just not your day...

The station that I had already posted was the first station. The second station which was of a later construction period was the one that served the Otley and Ilkley Joint Railway that I made reference in a recent posting of clarification.
