Would this be East Southsea station - terminus of the branch from Fratton? I am sure it was replaced by a bus garage and it was certainly an early closure.

Kemp Town?
No
No but the warmest so far.
Clue; It was originally built to serve a nearby Military establishment and it was originally intended to extend the line further although this never happened.

Sandgate?
It was Sandgate which was actually at Seabrook and close to Shorncliffe Camp part of which is still used by the Army. The original intention was that the line should continue to Folkestone Harbour but that never got beyond the planning stage.
Your turn.

Butlers Lane opened in 1957 - I don't know if there was anything before that ?

Sorry not Butlers Lane.
This opened on 4 February 1948 and closed on 2 November 1964.

My friend Mr W Pedia has provided me with an answer. Do you want me to pass it on ?

Why not? There isn't a flurry of answers!

Mr W Pedia tells me it was Margam Halt which was opened to serve Port Talbot steelworks

Mr W Pedia is correct. Would he like to set the next question?

Keeping to the theme of new station openings, there was only one new station opened by BR in 1974. Where was it ?
