Remember that this is the Station Association quiz, not the Settlement Association quiz.

Whilst Stockton was indeed the correct settlement, its railway station that is currently in use is not the original railway station that was used by the railway in question.

Was the original Stockton killed by a certain good doctor, by any chance?

I knew the original Darlington has a new name (I've used that connection once before), but I didn't realise the current Stockton wasn't the original either!
