Newly updated rules effective from March 2025.


( Rule 4)....Stations that were closed and had their replacement station built in nearby proximity or on part or all of the original station site are NOT allowed to be used as a valid posting entry on this quiz (examples being that of the situation of the first station sites:- at Whifflet (see below), Carnoustie, Dyce, Broxburn, Musselburgh, Dumfries, Skewen, Harker, Cobbinshaw, Felling, South Bank, Ferryhill (1st station), Pinchinthorpe, Keighley, Steeton and Silsden, Heckmondwike Central (1st), Wyke and Norwood Green, Brighouse, Horbury and Ossett, Walsden, Burnley Manchester Road, Blue Pits (Castleton, Manchester), Coppull, Lostock Hall, Latchford, Warrington Bank Quay (1st), Altrincham, Kirk Sandall, Uttoxeter Bridge Street, Treeton, Great Barr, Monument Lane, Bordesley, Tollerton, Syston, Bramford, Bagillt, Corwen, Ynyswen and at Church Stretton. Where a doubt exists as to the knowledge of an actual distance that existed between the two station sites in such a situation, as in the case of Conway Marsh that was opened to serve an Army camp, it is hereby decreed that it is better to err on the side of caution and NOT to use the replacement station as a posting submission and only to show the ORIGINAL station name in posting submissions. (The example of the situation existing at Whifflet (both the 1st station and the Low Level one) being a good example to cite here).

Before, I set the next journey, I would like to draw the attention of all thread contributors to the Rule 4 extract shown above.
