[EbbwJunction1]

Broad Green is the oldest used railway station in the world, although the current station buildings are not original, dating from 1972. The station was opened on 17th September 1830 along with Crown Street and the original Edge Hill stations on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. In 1836 Crown Street station was demolished and Edge Hill station decommissioned, leaving Broad Green as the survivor. The newest station in the UK is at Bow Street on the Cambrian Coast Line, which opened on 14th February 2021.

To what extent would Bow St be a reopening? If it is, what could be said of Reston?
