If a train is booked to stop, must it, in fact, physically do so?

There are a lot of waiting rooms in Lincolnshire which don't have a good view inside from the train unlike the bus shelter variety. They tend to be either the original station waiting room where available (Swinderby upside, Thorpe Culvert downside), or a brick built one (Elton & Orston, Swinderby downside) or something adapted into one like the old battery room for the signalbox at Havenhouse. You always stop, because you don't know if somebody is hiding just around the corner. In the case of Havenhouse there is a signal protecting the level crossing on the down side, although generally in the winter this is left on non-stopping mode as the station is notoriously bad for wheelslip.

Okey doke. Fair enough.
