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.

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.

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.

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.
