Notes:
Stations shown in italics were temporary. Stations marked with a * were closed
and re-sited nearby. Signal boxes shown in italics did not control all
running lines. A red border indicates that the actual route is still open for
and used by regular passenger traffic, blue indicates closed, green indicates
open for goods traffic only and yellow indicates open as a preserved line. This
is a strict rule and so, whilst a route may be open at some point between two
locations, the colours indicate the status of the route at the exact location of
the station. Signal Boxes shown in italics did not control all running lines.
