[Xenophon PCDGS]

Eydon Road Halt?

Not so, Tim, as that is a halt situated upon the GCR Banbury branch line, which we do not visit on this journey and we are still on the line of the Great Central Railway Main Line until we meet the GCR London Extension Line.

So, must be Culworth

Look for a station commencing with "A".
