Only to the railway - I was commenting on the local geography Try finding Milford Junction on google maps ...

 

Railway location names can be different to map locations and can vary by several miles!

 

Stations are not exempt from this.

 

Millerhill as a village is real but try finding it on some satellite navigation systems plus the entrance to the Yard is next to it ( the former signal box/electric depot is elsewhere).
