As per the 1930 Post Office Guide, 55 Stations were authorized to accept railway post letters. Many of these offices were at railway stations (halts) which were not provided with normal postal facilities and are marked with“#” in the list below.
Railway stations I know about, either due to the mentioned Post Office Guides or railway maps are also listed in the below table for reference.

Legend:
Station Name in Bold means, that postmark is as original in my collection, either on a single stamp, on a fragment or on a complete cover.
Station Name in
Bold Italic means, that postmark is only available as image provided by collector friends or obtained thru dealer / auction offerings.

Missing images either as original items (I pay fair prices) or as clear colour images are highly appreciated.
