Is this valid? The station never opened to the general public, but was used as a sort of staff halt for the Castle Semple Estate. :|

Newly updated rules effective from September 2016

(12)....Private stations or unadvertised stations whether or not actually carried estate staffs or fare-paying passengers of the general public are allowed to be used on this quiz

If the halt was actually being used by estate staff, I maintain Rule 12 (shown above) should apply.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As there has been a number of recent queries on certain rules understanding, can I ask all contestants to familiarise themselves with the following:-
Rule 4
Rule 5
Rule 6
Guide note at foot relating to rule 5.
