I've converted the text to a table which I think is better and if you agree please delete the text above. Is it worth having a separate column for the Station Drive, Station Approach etc. - I think it's unnecessary? On dates I haven't split the earliest and latest into separate columns, nor included data-sort-type="date" | Dates coding to sort by date because it does that anyway on the current column: again, you might think different. It could do with coding though to sort W H Smith as Smith etc., but I don't know what coding you use for text to do it.--Patrick Hearn (talk) 09:55, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

A.E Bayley and Albert E Baylee are almost certainly one and the same, is Baylee a transcription error as I can't find it in the Kelly's reference? The business of A.E. Bayley was still extant in 1943 as it's on a Railway Rates Tribunal schedule in the London Gazette.--Patrick Hearn (talk) 10:10, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

As you say, Albert E. Bayley (Isinglass importer) 1912 - 1936 is almost certainly the same as A. E. Bayley (Brewer 1933 - 1936) since Isinglass is used in brewing beer.--Robin (talk) 16:25, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
