I was reading in the Railway Observer magazine about The Northampton and Banbury Junction Railway which neither reached Northampton nor Banbury but somewhere in between.
I live in Chesterfield which, until 1957, there was the Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast Railway which ran from Chesterfield to Lincoln, it never reached Lancashire (Warrington) nor the east coast (Sutton on Sea) as it was intended.
This set me thinking, were there any other railway companies with ambitions bigger than their bank balances which never started at nor finished at their titles but existed somewhere in between?
