Ah, I see. You're from Chelmsford, Massachusetts:)

Logged on to the National Railway Museum site the other day and was mortified to see that they include directions to York TRAIN Station!

If an august body can't get it right what chance have others got.

I give up!

Being a Widnes resident, I think this article puts it right about Widnes Railway Station and Paul Simon. The original station building is still in use.

Now I am confused, just went to Wiki and found this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditton_railway_station

But, not all articles in Wiki are verified, for instance it states 2 railway stations in Widnes, but there was also Hough Green which looks similar to Widnes (Farnworth) Station.

Yes I agree Liliput.
It says in the article that Paul Simon's next gig was in Hull so it would make more sense if he was waiting on Widnes (North/Farnworth) station.
