Railway station people names (fun)

[AndrewR232]

Kirkby Stephen...

 

[krus_aragon]

Many place names in Wales that begin with 'Llan' are named for saints. Llandudno is the church of St Tudno, Llanelli is the church of St Elli, etc.

I'll try to get back to the original spirit of the thread by mentioning Mountain Ash, Port Talbot and Hope.

 

[marks87]

Bishop Briggs, the finest man to come out of Glasgow, closely followed by Annie Sland, the finest woman.

Then there's the Hill family: Mary and Jordan (both have Nits).

And not forgetting, Cath Cart.

That reminds me: I went to sixth-form college with a William Wood.

 

[markem41]

Humphrey Park

 

[deltic1989]

Sadly Burton Joyce is back-to-front...

Carlton Isn't though. If closed stations are allowed then Lincoln St Mark's, and Mablethorpe, and if we're calling names then Swineshead.

 

[JamesRowden]

Lewes counts if we are allowing names that sound the same but are not spelt the same.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lewes counts if we are allowing names that sound the same but are not spelt the same.

You of course make reference to a homophone.

There's a girl two years below me, no word of a lie, Iona Bently

Telford strikes me as an obvious one.

Also Milton Keynes is obviously two surnames, although MK itself is NOT named after anybody, but is actually named after the original village of the same name. The Keynes in that name is a family landowner name from the middle ages, same root as Horsted Keynes. The Milton however is just a contraction of Middleton.

 

[Railsigns]

Maryhill is actually named after a real person called Mary Hill.

Reminds me of the first minute or so of this:

Actually, people in Lewes are very tolerant of gays.

Probably the same in Looe.

 

[tractakid]

There are obviously a lot more stations that contain first names rather than are simply just a first name.

For the person that suggested Mountain Ash... there is also just Ash. Or if you want the full name, there is also Ashley.

I believe there is someone in one of these horrendous boy bands names Aston, please forgive me for knowing that. There's no Merrygold station as far as I am aware though.

For surnames, how about Barnes? I just discovered, thanks to Wikipedia, the existence of Chester Barnes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Barnes

 

[Starmill]

Bryn?

I think the A Song of Ice and Fire series has people in it called Stafford, Preston, Lancaster and nearly Tywyn (Tywin).

Oh my God, DUH! I've just realised... he's called "Ser Preston Greenfield" !!!

 

[Gathursty]

We should cancel replace Christmas with Georgemas to celebrate the patron saint of unusual railway stations with a midnight Mass service from the North Pole express.

 

[David Barrett]

An-caster
Peter-head (closed)
Stan-bridgford (closed ex. LNW Dunstable branch)

 

[merlodlliw]

Lord Rhyl, Nigel Birch MP for Flintshire West,on elevation to the Lords took the title Lord Rhyl.

 

[David Barrett]

Back to the GNS where a junction called Maud could be found, now closed but on the way to Peterhead and Fraserburgh whilst on the coast line there was Glenbarry.

Not a station but on the GNR East Lincolnshire line there was a level crossing and signal box near Boston called Maud Foster.

Al-thorpe North Lincolnshire

Al-ford GNR East Lincolnshire line, GNS Aberdeenshire and GW Somerset, once more all closed.

A pseudo James Bond could have two conjoined names with....

Lazonby & Kirk..Oswald

By George you're right. He only lived once in the role though and rightly so being careless enough to allow the demise of the former Mrs. Peel, unforgivable in my book. There's even a tenuous narrow gauge IOM connection here.

Classic. I must've watched every episode at least five times. Nothing beats Humphrey being locked out of Number 10 and setting off the alarm.

Back on the thread, I once knew someone with the surname Corby.

What about:

Rye likes to have an apple delivered to his dore and he likes to buy ham from the shop on the next street for when he goes on a day out with his friend Ash Ford.

I have created a sentence containing the succesive stations of Rye, Appledore, Ham Street and Ashford.

Win Chelsea he cried at his black-and-white television; he couldn't afford a colour one since he was on the dole and could barely afford ham, Ore his favourite illicit treat, hash 'tings; like cannabis tea.

In the reverse direction, though it isn't as coherent as yours!
