TEVERSALL (MANOR).

 

First of all it's worth pointing out that Teversall will also be found spelt as Teversal.

 

Another point of interest is that after nationalisation in 1948 the early British Railways had a policy of renaming stations where confusion over names could occur, typically in towns and villages where two or more stations existed. Teversal had two stations, so, although one had closed to regular passenger services and the other had never provided any, they provided other services such as goods and excursions. They were therefore renamed.

 

The ex-MR Teversal station became "Teversall Manor" and the ex-GNR Teversal station became "Teversall East".

 

The spring points referred to must be those hand points at the gate approaching Skegby Jn (later Sutton Colliery Jn) box where the branch opens out to 3 tracks.
