<div class="moz-cite-prefix">"Halt" in this sense seems to have
fallen out of current use on at least large parts of the national
rail network.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">For example <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.gwr.com/stations-and-destinations/stations/chetnole">Chetnole</a>
is described as a "station" by National Rail and GWR (who serve
it). Trains stop only on request, and it's described in
announcements as a "request stop". The word "halt" isn't used in
anything current from the rail industry.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The most official description of it as
a halt is the <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Council</a>, who also use "station"; they have some old photos
with "Halt" on them.</div>

Halts are not Stations. The distinction is that you have to wave
the train down if you want to get on, and you have to notify the
staff, in advance, if you want to get off.
