Westbrook Railway station and entry for Clifford Railway stations

[edit]

Westbrook Railway station and entry for Clifford Railway stations both state that the two railway stations opened in 1881. This cannot be the case. The Golden Valley Lines, as mentioned in https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Golden_Valley_Railway was only built as far as Dorstone from Portrilas. Although the original railways act had been amended to extend to Hay Junction, this never happened. The line was extended from Dorstone to Hay Junction in 1888 but due to inspection issues was not opened to passenger traffic until 27 May 1889. So Westbrook & Clifford railways station could not have been opened in 1881. Of course Wiki cannot be wrong, but in this case the Wiki entries for Westbrook and Clifford station both contradict the entry in https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Golden_Valley_Railway. One of them must be incorrect... or both incorrect? 2A00:23C6:AE96:9A01:E903:E59A:77B1:54D (talk) 11:13, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
