I think this is a windup from some staff member who reckoned nobody would ever read it!
In a previous team I worked with, we had a great deal of fun getting completely nonsensical technical terms and acronyms added in to a "glossary" that the new (dangerously clueless) exec in charge of IT and digital had decided to champion.

There is a lot you can get away with in rail too

They all seem to be villages in Northamptonshire. I suspect they are a hangover from when certain bus services, such as the X5 (and I think the bus to Buckingham), appeared in railway fares and timetables data.

I notice you put a question mark after Carlton. For interest's sake, Carlton is a real station about three miles east of Nottingham.
It’s also a village between Bedford and Northampton.

Definitely a Northaptonshire theme. Sixfields is the name of Northampton Town Football Club's stadium.

'Hunsbury Hill' is the country park where the Northamptonshire Ironstone Railway operates (one-and-a-half mile heritage railway).

Interestingly, I happened to look at that same page a few weeks ago, and noticed a number of stations (Hitchin, Letchworth amongst others) which were on the list despite being within the validity of KeyGo, so there's definitely something going on with that list

You mean to say that I can't connect the combobolator to the oscillating turnip?
