I've just seen a ticket from Whaley Bridge to Stalybridge. :D

Has anyone else seen any similarly odd or funny combinations of destinations on a ticket?

You could have Millbrook (Beds) to Millbrook (Hants), I guess.

Lostock to Lostock Gralam!

If he/she started at Lostock Gralam that would have been funny. "A ticket to Lostock please" as I'm sure some people from the Northwich area aren't aware that there is a Lostock near Bolton.

It'd be even better if someone was buying an Adlington (Lancashire) to Adlington (Cheshire) ticket.

I remember years ago working in a rail telesales office, you could configure someone's "Tribute" machine to have a default origin and destination. Trying to come up with the most insulting station names, I changed my colleague's so it always defaulted to "Swineshead to Broadbottom".

Well, I thought it was amusing!
