Beware of "Heritage Stations" is the motto of this quiz. That station above is one of the three on this line that are used by the Churnet Valley Railway .

Having looked up the CVR I see that it runs to Leekbrook Junction and passengers can alight on signal box opening days

The 260mm narrow-gauge Rudyard Lake Steam Railway is one that my wife and I have visited on many a summer Sunday in past years/

I too like to visit the railway at Rudyard, was there with my wife and daughter about 7/8 weeks ago.

Could we have a minor clarification to the rules - is Rudyard OK because it has reopened as part of a miniature railway (rather than a heritage railway)? Also note that there seem only to have been two stations on this section on the original NSR. Rudyard (subsequently renamed Rudyard Lake) and Rudyard Lake (subsequently renamed Cliffe Park).

Macclesfield Beech Bridge is the final closed station on this journey.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
It seems that this particular line is somewhat unusual in having three former railway stations now being used by the Churney Valley Railway as normal gauge "heritage" stations. The Rudyard query, covers a somewhat different narrow-gauge re-use of land area and areas not covered by the line of the original railway

The last named closed station was Lindal and if you refer to the preamble, it makes mention of the Furness Abbey avoiding line that has two closed stations upon it, then we access the line of the Cumbrian Coast Line.

To me the avoiding line is the one that avoids Barrow - I did wonder why you had called it the Furness Abbey line, though.
