Now I'm looking up the location of the new Balgray Railway station .... look on Google Maps to the east, and you can see where the tracks widen for an Island platform that doesn't exist - the location of Lyoncross Station which was never finished! A ghost railway station ...

New station Cambridge South opened on Sunday ( 28th June ) so here's the updated list of stations since 2020, we're up to 2597! Unofficially, I think the next four to open could be: Okehampton Interchange ( Devon ) Balgray ( East Renfrewshire ) Butetown( Cardiff ) Winslow ( Buckinghamshire )
