History section inconsistencies

It looks to me as if there are considerable inconsistencies in this page and others related to this page. However, I am not an expert. The problems revolve around the organisations that built the direct line from Cogan to Barry and the coastal line. The dates on his page seem to be wrong because elsewhere it is clear that both routes opened the same day in December 1888, yet here there are statements that they opened a decade later. I do not know enough about the history nor have access to the sources to review and rewrite these pages (there's a lack of clarity on a number of pages) but hope that someone does.

The majority of it is unsourced anyway...

"Quick, Michael (2022). Railway Passenger Stations in Great Britain: A Chronology (PDF) (5th ed.). London: Railway and Canal Historical Society." says:

CADOXTON {map 87b} CADOXTON [Barry] op 20 December 1888 (S Wales 21st); still open.

CADOXTON [TV] op 8 July 1889 as BIGLIS JUNCTION (co n Barry Dock News 12th); renamed February 1890 Brad but local press kept old name (Welsh Railway Archive vol. VI, no. 5, May 2017); terminus acting as interchange with Barry station (long walk) until TV line extended to Barry Railway, 22 May 1890 (Barry Dock News 23rd); this station then closed (Penarth). CADOXTON TERRACE [GW] op 18 March 1929 (wt supp); HALT; clo 15 October 1962 (BR n Port Talbot Guardian 12th); {Neath – Cilfrew}.

I don't have the time to make the history section verifiable with this info, but I might have a stab at it later, unless someone wants to beat me to it! Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 16:07, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
