Talk:Ravensthorpe Lower railway station

Naming
From available sources, there is no mention of "Ravensthorpe Lower", just "Ravensthorpe". Suggest "Ravensthorpe (L&Y)"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelisteningman (talk • contribs) 22:45, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * In the Quick reference and in the respective Wiki Commons page, it's referred to Ravensthorpe, as does the Spen Valley Line that this page was created from as well as the A-Z of closed railway stations in Britain. Also mentioned in the Quick source is that the station's official name was changed to Ravensthorpe Lower in 1951. LordSavage1997 (talk) 00:54, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Spen Valley Line page is muddled as there are three railway lines:
 * LNWR from Battyeford (NW of Mirfield station) to Heckmondwike Spen (Leeds New Line) - British Railway called this Spen Valley line
 * Stations are Battyeford, Northorpe (LMS changed that to Northorpe Higher), and Heckmondwike Spen


 * L&Y from Mirfield to Heckmondwike Central (Mirfield to Low Moor Branch)
 * Stations are Mirfield, Northorpe Lower, and Heckmondwike Central


 * L&Y from Thornhill to Heckmondwike Central (Ravensthorpe branch)
 * Stations are Thornhill, Ravensthorpe (L&Y), and Heckmondwike Central.

Soneone, I think, confused Northorpe Lower with Ravensthorpe.

Confusingly, Sustrans and Kirklees Council decided to build a cycle route down the Ravensthorpe branch, but called it Spen Valley Greenway.
