I think that, as we are using the Derwent branch line, it would be Dearham.

I wondered if the journey preamble note about "via Eskett" would have been overlooked on this leg.

I wondered if the journey preamble note about "via Eskett" would have been overlooked on this leg.

I thought Eskett came after Yeathouse; but maybe there, I've been consulting unreliable sources.

I was already somewhat puzzled about what happens next on this journey -- think I'd do best to "sit out" the next few goes.

Eskett and Winder were on opposite sides of the original line and the avoiding line.....one station each on those line sections....but ne'er the twain shall meet, as they say.

To re-cap, after Winder came Eskett (as per the journey preamble), then the next closed station was that of Frizington

Thanks. Looking at the Wiki diagrammatic map -- that jibes with your description above. The "paper atlases" all seem to be misleading about Eskett and Winder (I tend to rely on them, being too lazy at times, to log on to the Wiki sites !).

Even with Eskett and Winder out of the way; I'm afraid I'm still a bit bewildered about the next couple of steps. We're taking it, I presume, that the next place to post, is now the station after Frizington: thus, if I'm right, I can legitimately try (though unsure whether it will be correct):

The LNWR & FR Joint Railway has four closed stations upon it, but note that Gillfoot is not one of these, being a goods entity.
