6 the Tetbury branch

Indeed, but which specific station thereon?

Trouble House Halt

[PrestburyRoad]

I don't know any of the answers but I can add another short-lived service.  It's a station I never visited, though I did travel along the line in the 1980s.

15. The station featured two platforms linked by a footbridge, a waiting room, and a gravel car park. ... The structure used a scaffolding base covered by wooden planks with an anti-slip surfacing. ... Once opened, the station was served by all existing trains and an additional hourly shuttle train. ... This service started on 30 November 2009 and ran until 28 May 2010. It was initially funded by the Department for Transport at a cost of £216,000. All services between [deleted], [deleted], [deleted] and [deleted] were free of charge for this period.

Yes that was it Heathrow Junction, Goer was proposed but was not liked by BAA but as a BR^▸ (British Rail(ways)) / Railltrack project name its was

There was no pedestrian access or private road vehicle access because it was inside a Ministry of Defence site so the only road access was via the shuttle bus.

The service was operated by Turbos 165/6

Google Earth has a contemporary photo of the platform, train and buses. Even with that, it's hard to see on the 1999 image how it all fitted in. It was fenced off outside the "government offices" (as the OS^▸ (Ordnance Survey) map has it), but only a narrow strip of mainly road. Did the buses really have to do a three point turn to exit?

The MoD permission was quite strict on the use of the site.

The station only had a single platform which was on the DN side ie the east side; today there is a service road into some industrial units which was one of the 2 construction access

Wonderful example of quick work and what CAN be done - the station was provided in response to rainfall on 19th November which swept away the road bridge on 20th.   I wonder what could/would be done if providing transport to Portishead became an emergency.

Talking of short lived servises, was there not a sleeper service to/from Bournemouth at somepoint in the 90's I think?

10 Findhorn Station on the Findhorn Railway, opened 18th April 1860 the three mile line went to Kinloss, officially closed 29th January 1869. However, a storm washed away some of the track overnight on the 28th.
It was not until 1886 that the permanent way materials were advertised for sale.
RAF^▸ (Royal Air Force) Kinloss was built over part of the trackbed

Just 1 and 2 to identify - I know it's possible because a member has sent me the solution in a personal message but didn't want to spoil it for the rest of you.   

This has been fascinating research!

There are some very short lived stations in this quiz, with the shortest being 126 days. But there was a station that was only served for three weeks, in April 1874 – and it was GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway)!
