A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Earley station was also opened (by the South Eastern Railway) in 1863.

HOLD

Ince and Elton is situated on the Ellesmere Port to Warrington line and as such, is very many miles north of the most northernmost station ever built by the South Eastern Railway.

Earley station is situated in Berkshire.

I think he meant that Earley was opened by the South Eastern Railway, and them both in 1863, though I didn't thin Earley was SER?

Yes, all of that is correct. I used this extract from Wiki when mentioning the original company:

"The South Eastern Railway (SER) opened Earley station in May 1863 on the former Reading, Guildford and Reigate Railway (RG&RR), which originally terminated at its own Reading Southern station. The RG&RR had opened on 4 July 1849 and the SER had taken it over in 1852."

I assume that it's right, but I am happy to accept that it isn't if this is the case.

Anyway, on with the quiz from Abergavenny:

Mistley station, Essex was also opened in 1854.

Meadowhall Interchange also serves a large out of town shopping centre.

Paul - Don't worry .... I agree that it wasn't the best phrasing, and I thought that someone might pick me up on it!
