[xxx] Road

Manchester Oxford Road, Navigation Road, Burnley Manchester Road...

[xxx] Lane :P

Green Lane, Syon Lane...

I can't find a place called "Road" in my atlas. "Lane" appears to be in Cornwall.

But, come on, Street is actually quite big! Even if it is a village!

Sorry.

That's the one I meant to post (having seen Stretton on an old OS map of Burton), not Craven Arms, so you might want to double check that one!

Well, Craven is the name of the local authority covering the Skipton and Settle area of North Yorkshire, so Craven is a placename.

[Doleham] & Three Oaks

Gosh, the Ashford > Hastings line is a good one. That's 7 other placenames in its stations! Admittedly, Doleham & Three Oaks has just been Three Oaks for some years, but I'm sure you'll all allow me to have that one.

 

[Ivo]

Last I checked, which was about ten seconds ago, the modern line featured Doleham and Three Oaks as separate stations anyway

 

[4SRKT]

Oops. My memory is playing up. Three Oaks was 'Guestling and Three Oaks' in the past.
