Pylle railway station
Pylle railway station was a station on the Highbridge branch of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. Opened 3 February 1862 on the original S&DJR main line, the railway was reduced to branch status when the extension from Evercreech Junction to Bath was opened. It was built with a passing loop on the single line however the loop was removed in 1929 at the same time as the signal box.[1] It was reduced to halt status on 4 November 1957 and closed with the railway, on 7 March 1966.

gollark: Also, performance is identical (I tested on my test file, which doesn't use emphasis, which is the bit I ended up breaking).
gollark: So it compiles now, with the linked lists mostly gone, but it will not actually work due to mysterious fatal errors.
gollark: It has taken me an *embarrasingly* long time to realize this but this is actually just taking the section of a list between two tokens and moving them to something else.
gollark: Now to watch all the tests fail.
gollark: You know what, I'll ignore this ENTIRELY for now muahahahaha.
