History
The station opened as Brandon Siding in July 1861 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated on the west side of Station Road. The station's name was changed to Brandon Colliery after a full service was introduced on 1 March 1878. The station gets its name from the nearby Brandon Colliery which closed in 1968. The station itself closed to passengers on 4 May 1964 and to goods traffic on 10 August 1964.[1]
gollark: Macron idea: types are a set of every possible value of the type. This is of course how types work usually, but in Macron you have to manually write out the entire set.
gollark: Idea: all Macron structs contain an implicit monoid.
gollark: Maybe I should write it in Python for now and port it "later".
gollark: The issue is that while the Rust and to some extent Nim versions are principled™, fast, and easy to deploy as they compile to mostly-static binaries, I cannot rapidly write and prototype accursuous code very fast.
gollark: But worse than supreme RUST™ types.
