Clue, this square is to the west of a town that lost its passenger service during the Beeching cuts and is better known for its car factories than its railways.

I downloaded the Porthmadog square just a few days ago, and the official map has changed since. Interesting that there is to be a Porthmadog bypass, it needs one. I wondered how they were going to get WHR trains tottering over the main road with all the traffic about. Anyway, the latest square is Watford.

I'm surprised this one hasn't been used yet. Maybe it was on the old forum. Still, give it a go.

Originally thought it might be a peat railway but my knowledge of such lines on this side of the Irish sea was nil. Bolton Fell, out in the sticks near Carlisle.

A bit more action in this one.

Got there in the end. Selsey Tramway.

The burn is not a scottish one - it's english. This is the square immediately to the NW. The line was rather obscure - it was a colliery line that was only open for a few years in the 1920's.

Walk 1Km due south from the station and you'll be on the beach.

A large town, in addition to the station shown there are two other stations on this same stretch of line that include the towns' name. But this was the only line ever to serve the town.

If you follow the road eastwards from this square for about a mile you come to a T-junction with a trunk road which has a Roman name as well as an A number. At the junction is a Hotel which in the 1960's was called a Motel and was reputedly used as the basis for the Crossroads TV series. The railway line is part of a longer distance route which has been undergoing gauge improvements over the last few years to allow larger containers to be moved.

I hesistate to use this square as the word 'Motel' disappears from the OS map at lower mags. Bit like a mirage in reverse.

Very good Peter.........

Clue, this station is on a secondary/commuter line which does form a loop with a main line and therefore can be used as a diversionary route.
