orton mere - if we are allowed preserved railways

 

[W-on-Sea]

One definition of "mere" is "a small pond of standing water"

which is very close in meaning to "a hollow filled with mud/ a stagnant swamp"

....a definition (even if not quite a description of the town called) of Slough

[12CSVT]

Godley East - As with North Llanrwst, its origional name went to another station further down the line when that station opened.
ie what is now North Llanrwst was origionally called Llanrwst but changed its name when the current Llanrwst station opened. Likewise the origional Godley station became Godley East when the current Godley station opened.

 

[4SRKT]

All these people talking about North Llanrwst would be advised to head over to another thread in the Quiz folder.........

 

[me123]

From Godley East...

Rutherglen, because the station has been moved to a slightly different site.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Epsom Downs - also a short distance from the original site.

 

[Ivo]

Newbury Racecourse: The lesser station in a town known for horse racing, in which this station is accepted as the easier to use for it.

In that case I'll have to bounce this back to.....

Tattenham Corner. Again, the closest to the local racecourse...
