Advent quiz - day 21 - Can you identify the geography?

To complete the set, F is Feniton.

I did wonder if the last four names ending in "ton" was significant in some way. But more likely it's just nature's way of reminding us that an emergent pattern is not necessarily a real property. It may be just the data having a bit of noisy fun - data will be data, after all.

I hadn't noticed / set up "ton" intentionally.   The first letter was intentional, as was north being up, left, down and right in turn. Yes, "J" was a very limited choice unless I had gone for "Junction de Clapham" of "Junction de Dovey"

And I hadn't noticed the ordering of orientation. But then that does not help much with the finding/matching process, it's enough to know that maps may be rotated to one of four orientations. What was more relevant was the geographical scope - which appears to be "Western" (no Highland halts this time), but without being too picky about a single date.
