Route problems[edit]

Hi, I was trying to add initial infoboxes and co-ordinates to the station articles but there appears to be some stations with dubious information against them.

On the branch line I can find no reference to Dalton Gates, the nearest I can find is Dalton Junction which was a former name for Eryholme. Moulton End appears just to be called Moulton and Brompton-on-Swale looks to be called Catterick Bridge in material I have looked at.

The sub-branch is a little more tricky as Butt and Wignall do not appear to cover the line though it is shown on maps and Suggitt gives details of it. It looks like it had 3 stations - Catterick, which is at the start of the line almost adjacent to Catterick Bridge. Catterick Camp, Central or Camp Central depending on the map you look at and a short lived station called California which I have not located the position for.

Has anyone any other information or comments on this before I go and change the article and move the station articles? Keith D (talk) 18:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moulton End was definitely called Moulton End, I have a photo of the station sign somewhere, I will attempt to find it. King of the North East 00:17, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Diagram[edit]

I have replaced the sidebar with a diagram that includes only the stations I can find on OS maps and in Jowett's, named as they are there. If anyone finds sources for the existence of stations (particularly any intermediate ones on the camp branch) I may have left out the usual rules apply. I have moved the sidebar here to keep a record of it to help anyone add such stations. Britmax (talk) 18:53, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Having obtained a copy of the above book I have altered the names of the station on the line in accordance with the information in it, backed up by OS maps and other map sources. The stations are now all verified as existing. And the junction of the camp branch faced Richmond. Britmax (talk) 23:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
