Editing Future stations

This page lists '''future stations''' on Britain's railway or tramway networks. Stations are only listed here once work has begun or there is a realistic prospect of the station being completed, rather than those that are simply listed as part of the [[Restoring Your Railway]] campaign, for instance. Speculative stations should not be added.

==Postponed schemes==
The following stations and stops previously appeared in the above list, but have become less certain due to a change in circumstances.	
<!--Schemes that didn't previously appear in the above table *should not* be placed here. We only keep track of projects that are likely to happen with tangible opening dates, rather than every proposed scheme. If a station listed is formally cancelled, it should be removed from this list.-->
