Gore Road railway station

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Apparently unverifiable. The Anome (talk) 11:53, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I am prepared to change my view if this station can be verified but I can't track down any sources and it isn't mentioned here. Bridgeplayer (talk) 01:55, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it can be verified. No mention in Jowett's Railway Atlas. Mjroots (talk) 06:44, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - I think it's a hoax. The box at the bottom says it was on the Bishop's Stortford-Braintree Branch Line, yet the article on the branch line makes no mention of it. Googling "gore road station" also brings up nothing relating to this station. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  10:30, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I refuse to believe there was ever a railway station with a 5m platform. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:27, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: although it's just concievable an alighting point might once have existed, since the now-disused railway line that passed through Rayne railway station appears to have passed the end of Gore Road in Rayne, as can be seen here on this old map, it definitely can't have been a "station": there is clearly no station or halt marked at that point on the map. -- The Anome (talk) 22:00, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've not found any google results for "Gore Road Halt" or "Gore Road Platform" either, at least in GWR territory a calling point had to have goods-handling facilities to be called a "station" until relatively recently. "Halt" and "Platform" were common names for lesser stopping places - I don't know if this was the same in the relevant part of teh country to this debate though.
