I'm not allowed any more questions, but it's narrowed it down to two counties and probably further.

EDIT: I've narrowed it down to 3, I think!

Yes - Britain's newest railway station! Congratulations.

It officially opened yesterday, but passenger services started running the day before - hence my opening post, less than an hour after the first train.

Should I start another one or does The Orange One want to do it as he got it correct?

Well actually DavidC should have first call, since he got The Orange One's quiz right.

OK. But if both don't want to/can not do another, then I will.

Congratulations to The Orange One and thanks to GuyBarry for setting it. Take it as read that I'm very happy for someone else to set the next one and any future ones.

Just as a matter of interest, the Project Mapping map appears to show the line from Oxford Parkway into Oxford as open, although it's not planned to open until next spring. Is this an error or are they just being forward-looking?

That section of the line is not new. So technically it is an existing line that is temporarily closed for engineering works, rather than a new line that is under construction.
