Spoilt for choice, perhaps contenders need subdivision into categories such as coastal, rural and urban?

The GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) mainline from Exeter to Newton Abbot has a couple coast view station contenders there in Starcross and Dawlish.

Sorry,

I have tried so hard to get every thing correct.

Must have a sticky finger on Yesterday channel 25, as they seem to be the channel for railway programmes.

Must try,extra,harder in the future.

Worth checking for sure, but don't let a fear of the odd typo put you off.    If I waited until all my posts were perfect, I would never post anyfing.
