*Holehouse Junction station consisted solely of a platform in the 'vee' of the junction and served purely as an exchange platform with no access from the surrounding area. Interestingly, probably because of this, successive OS maps do not mark a station on the site. RCH Sc 1907 shows Holehouse (Junction) station erroneously to the south of the junction.
