History

The line from Bury to Holcombe Brook had opened on 6 November 1882, and originally there were three intermediate stations. A service of steam railmotors was introduced on the line in July 1905, and four more intermediate stations were opened at the same time; these small stations, or halts, included one at Brandlesholme Road, 1 mile (1.6 km) from Bury, which opened on 3 July 1905. It closed with the end of passenger services on the line on 5 May 1952.[1][2]

gollark: Yes, my sandbox also does that.
gollark: In yours, somehow, `load("return fs.list '/'")()` returns the sandboxed fs.list result...
gollark: `load("return _HOST")()` returns the `_HOST` from outside the sandbox in mine. Replace `return _HOST` with `doEvilOutOfSandboxStuff()` and it's a problem.
gollark: I have no idea how, but <@!111572502722920448>'s old `sBox` thing seems to not experience the `load` issue despite not overriding it anywhere.
