[D6130]

Llanharan station is 183 miles 72 chains from the zero point at London Paddington, measured (for some reason) via Stroud.

It's measured via Stroud because that was the original South Wales main line prior to the opening of the Severn Tunnel in 1886.

Stonehouse is another station on the Golden Valley Line.

Ah, thank you; that makes sense, now!

Moving on .... bicycle hire is possible at both Bramhall and Poynton stations, although there are no storage facilities for bicycles at the latter.
