1 Gloucester any time up to the 1950's but probably around 1910

Edit:  Definitely pre grouping (1923)

Best is to turn this into a game of Mornington Crescent: I'll start with a station from the first map.

<portentious voice> "T-Station".

The south Wales map has been put in to make the rest of us jealous! Many of those stations didn't exist when I lived in Cardiff as a student.

I think it has to be sometime from 2014 onwards (when Pye Corner opened).
