General observation on matters during my absence yesterday

The station described as Rhos on the GWR Trevor to Legacy branch line is that of Rhosllanerchrugog

When we left the GWR Ponciau branch line, the first closed station on the GWR Shrewsbury to Chester line would have been that of Rhos

When we left the GWR Shrewsbury to Chester line, we would have accessed the Chester and Holyhead Railway and there would have been the closed station of Saltney Ferry

Newly updated rules effective from December 2016


Rule 3....Stations that were closed....but then re-opened as a heritage facility are NOT allowed to be used on this quiz IF THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED ON THE SAME SITE..... OSWESTRY, QUAINTON ROAD, SHILLINGSTONE, MIDSOMER NORTON, DIXTER HALT, INSTOW, BIDEFORD and KIRKBY STEPHEN EAST are just some examples to have been deemed to be reopened heritage stations for the purposes of this quiz and as such, cannot be used in posting submissions and any subsequent station closure will make no difference to this ruling.

Oswestry is covered by rule 3 of this quiz, an extract of which is shown above, that actually cites Oswestry as one of the examples
