There's two with two:

Hall i' Th' Wood
Besses-o'-th'-Barn

The latter also racks up three hyphens as well!

Christ's Hospital is another single apostrophe station.

Wood End (Vote for most disable unfriendly station!)

I remember a couple of years ago one morning, pulling up there and opening the gate, then walking down a long, uneven path which turned 90 degrees at the end onto a scaffolded walkway with steps going up and down. I presumed the work was to make it wheelchair friendly.

It's still the same, long uneven path from the road before a sharp turn before many steps down a scaffolded walkway.

And how did you find the lovely Hawarden Bridge, Fishquinn?

It was nice enough for a couple of minutes before I decided to leave! I had a lot of time at Shotton so I just walked for 5 mins to shack scratch (and see if I could see the loco in Dee Marsh).

Why do I keep reading this as "SHARK" attacks?

This is also what attracted my attention and made me visit this thread.

I was not aware that global warming had brought sharks into the areas named in the postings on this thread recently.

The only sharks that frequent the inland areas where I live are Sale Sharks, once from Sale, then from Stockport and now found ground-sharing with Salford Red Devils RLFC on the new ground near Barton Airport.

You're not alone..
I read it as that too

Erm...so did I.

 

[D841 Roebuck]

Finally updated my spreadsheets.

Current totals:
NR - 582
Underground/Metro/Tram - 201.

Some trip planning required.

***

Looking at a London A-Z - St John's to Elverson Road looks a shortish walk. Anyone done it?

Its probably further than it looks as there's only 1 way out of the station, but it's easily do-able - allow around 12-15 mins
