I was looking at Carlisle Canal station, I always thought that it was a terminus on a spur adjacent to, but not on, the line we just traversed. However there is an OS map of 1868 which quite definitely shows it with platform on the through lines. More research needed!

INFORMATION

Whilst we are still on the line of the Border Union Railway, with regards to Harker station where both 1st and 2nd closed stations were entered as posting submissions on the current journey, I have come to the decision that Rule 4 now comes into play as there was only a very short distance between those two station sites (being either side of an overbridge as at Castleton and at Church Stretton) and Harker station itself has now been added to the cited examples shown in Rule 4.
