North being defined as? I could quite easily claim North as being anything North of Manchester, equally, someone in Cornwall might consider anything North of Exeter as 'North'.

I'm going for Burton-on-Trent.

I take your point.

It's north of a line from the Mersey to the Wash and south of the Scottish Border.

It used to have four platforms before being closed.
The line was then de-quadrified.
It has now been re-opened with two platforms.
