See separate Wales Railways list for GW lines in Wales Based on Bradshaws Guides (Brad), company timetables and my own research, with extra information from the RCHS Chronology (Quick), Clinkers Chronology, London Railway Atlas (Brown), Birmingham & West Midlands Atlas (Brown), Atlas of the GWR (Cooke), Pre-Grouping Atlas (Ian Allan), Private & Untimetabled Railway Stations (Croughton), GB Rail Atlas (Baker), Closed Passenger Lines of Great Britain 1827-1947 (Greville)(RCHS), Railways of Great Britain Historical Atlas (Cobb), Branch Line News & many other publications. The England Railways tables are set out in 5 separate Lists based on the major companies Nationalised in 1948 (Great Western, London Midland & Scottish, London & North Eastern, Southern) and London Transport. These are sub-divided into the major companies amalgamated at Grouping in 1923 & Other Railways. U: unadvertised or locally advertised station with purpose; h: heritage railway stations/halts; b: British Railways/National Rail (BR/NR) & predecessors & other rlys stations on lines that became heritage railways; in general only heritage railways operating wholly or in part on these lines are included; a few others not on former railways are included if considered to offer an ‘A’ to ‘B’ passenger service. j: Midland Metro (MM) stops located on former BR etc lines. (b: BR etc stations) NOT included: most funiculars & cliff rlys, people-movers & miniature rlys; station name “for” and county suffixes; locations where railway workers dropped off for routine or emergency work; most temporary platforms for depot open days, meetings, VIP visits etc. ticket platforms (at which tickets were inspected) unless evidence found of official use by alighting or boarding passengers; rail enthusiasts excursions References to the other UK lists (>) with table number: LMS: London Midland & Scottish; LNE: London & North Eastern; LT: London Transport; SC : Scotland; SR: Southern; WA: Wales; Connections (shown thus: >, or >> ) to other lines are only included if used by scheduled passenger services (past and present). Examples of lesser known and short-lived services using these connections are given. Bradshaw sometimes added suffixes to station names that were not part of the station name. It is generally not possible from timetables to determine when these are part of the station name and most are shown in these lists. Explanatory text and major operational & infrastructure locations are shown in bracketted italics. Stations currently open for passengers shown in bold. All other stations closed to scheduled passenger services. For opening, closing, relocation and renaming dates, “for” & county station name suffixes, depot open day etc services, background information and source references, see Railway Passenger Stations in Great Britain, a Chronology by Michael Quick, available free on-line from the Railway & Canal Historical Society (RCHS) web-site. Any dates refer to advertised scheduled passenger services only. (date)t/w: company public/working timetables. pass? : passenger service?; ** 1 .etc : refers to sections of line diverted between these points, or alternative routes, details given at end of the table.
