I am sure that station is on the Harrogate Line.

I am sure that station is on the Harrogate Line.

Once again -- Mr. Dewick has seemingly been at the "happy juice", and I've been taking him at face value, without checking with any other source. Complete Atlas of Railway Station Names shows a Weeton just south-east of Singleton; but Wiki appears to know nothing about it. I'm striking "Weeton" out.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

My researches show there was a temporary short-lived goods station at Weeton, which closed in 1843, but such goods stations are not allowed as posting submissions on this quiz.

@Xenophon PCDGS: the last correct entry was Singleton, not so? Posted by you, so you can't follow on there; but I can -- so I'll try Lea Road .
