Thank you to my predecessors for initially creating and then taking on the updating of this thread.
This first post lists only those stations considered to have a good chance of being delivered in a reasonable timescale. I have taken the list ‘as is’ at December 2020 and will update it when there is new information from a reliable source, which essentially means a public statement by Network Rail or a TOC. Statements by a funding body, a development partner, a Local Authority or Government will also be considered.
Post 254 provides a list of all the stations discussed in this thread up to the end of December 2020 (65 in total). In preparing to take over the thread I have identified over 150 ‘proposed stations’ plus a number of ‘proposed lines’ where individual stations are not listed. Some of these proposals are very speculative (wouldn’t it be a good idea if …..), others were serious proposals which appear to have fallen by the wayside.
For the latest updates please refer to the latest thread posts, for the up-to-date comprehensive summary refer to the following table.
There is a separate thread for the more speculative proposals: New Stations and Schemes - a comprehensive list of speculative proposals
Note: Updates will be mentioned in a new post at the end of the thread, and reflected in the above table.
