Mottingham to Nottingham could cause a few ticket inspectors to look again!

Cottingham - Mottingham via Nottingham.

 

[91103eastcoast]

Harborough - Narborough via Market Harborough (I know it's an interesting route to take)!

 

[deltic1989]

Cottingham - Mottingham via Nottingham.

Once while standing on Lincoln Central waiting for my train to Nottingham, I wondered how close to Mottingham I would get before the old "The guy at the booking office misheard me" excuse wore out.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Bat & Ball to Bowling yet.

Others I can think of are

Glasgow Central to Hampden Park
Wem to Drem
St Margarets (near Twickenham) to St Margarets (on the Hertford East branch)

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Bat & Ball to Bowling yet.

Four Oaks to Sevenoaks

Bromley Cross to Bromley North or Bromley South

I'd better get my eyes tested then

And then go over to Belgium and buy a ticket from Silly to Buggenhout

 

[paulypaul]

Cowes to Bulwell

 

[Gwenllian2001]

No longer possible but I always fancied Three Cocks to Seven Sisters.

 

[swcovas]

In Monmouthshire until the early 60s there were Upper Pontnewydd, Lower Pontnewydd and Pontnewynydd stations all in close proximity.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Can't do this one any more, but how about Parson Street (Bristol) to Watford Stadium- the stadium itself of course being Vicarage Road!

Or indeed Cowdenbeath (COW) to Muir of Ord (MOO). Not fo mention Billingshurst (BIG) to Berry Brow (BBW)...

 

[CalderRail]

Does it count if you use the underground? Because a very long time ago I regularly (once a month) had to travel from Leicester (London Road Station) to London (Leicester Square).

 

[GatwickDepress]

Ore to Gravelly Hill is one I'll be doing soon.

 

[Whistler40145]

Daisy Hill to Flowery Field

 

[bigfoote]

Salford Central to Salford Crescent via Salfords (Surrey)

Only came to mind because of the trouble my mother used to have trying to get the clerk to issue our open returns from Havant to Salfords, only to miss the "s" off and cause a near heart attack with the fare.

 

[duncanp]

What about Berwick (Upon Tweed) to North Berwick via Berwick (Sussex)

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Liverpool Street to Liverpool Lime Street (via Limehouse)?

Bushey to Worcester Shrub Hill (via Hedge End and Rose Grove)?

I'll get my coat...

 

[duncanp]

To say nothing of Pollokshaws (East & West) and Pollokshields (East & West) in Glasgow.

Also in the Glasgow area you could havee Nitshill to Hairmyres.

Now I'll go and get my coat

 

[ValleyLines142]

Acton Central to Acton Main Line via Acton Bridge would be an interesting one!

Also, Poole to Goole would be another one!

Although, not spelt correctly, Barking to Leeds!

[Rich McLean]

Davenport to Devonport

 

[irongecko]

Dalston (Cumbria) to Dalston Junction via Dalton
