Apologies for the delay and any inconvenience caused. I haven't been on here very much over the last couple of days. Out all day Saturday on the Forum Yorkshire walk and in the beer garden most of yesterday - enjoying the fine weather on both days. OK, so here's another clue:

In days gone by you could get a connection to Waverley at this station.

Spot on!....the connection being, of course, with the paddle steamer "Waverley" in days gone by.
