Decline and closure
The passenger service, which was always meagre and in general did not offer good connections with other services, was eventually withdrawn and the station closed to passengers on 16 June 1947.[3] Goods traffic survived nationalisation and the station remained open for mainly rock salt traffic until March 1991

It’s a cute baby dragon. Its markings give off an otherworldly light.Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.(Please note that it is against the site rules to give aid to a user without their permission.)```
gollark: No, I mean, the text I regex-filter doesn't actually contain HTML tags.
gollark: The HTML tags are stripped out already, so those can be dropped.
gollark: Is this actually likely to be better than my new approach of just parsing hour/days separately?
