Somerville Junction closure date

From off-wiki communication: Some passenger trains still stopped at Somerville Junction in a schedule dated October 15, 1945, but none did in a schedule dated April 28, 1946. I can verify the 1946 timetable (cited in the article), but I don't have access to the 1945 one. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:42, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
