Closed Stations Journey quiz

Gisburn

Hellifield (1849-1880)

That station was located a distance SOUTH of the existing station, on the line of the "Little" North Western Railway, after the junction that took us towards Newsholme.

Therefore, it cannot be used on this particular journey, but could be used on any journey on this quiz on the "Little" North Western Railway being the main line that went towards Skipton
