Greyhound racing is abit cruel don't you think?

Farnborough is also served by trains that run through a national park.

Esher is also the station to alight at to get to Sandown Racecourse which hosts flat race meetings and hosts a Group 1 meeting in The Eclipse stakes. Another premier Group 1 race is held at Ascot.

Egham was one of the places where the Heathrow Airtrack would have passed through - though it has 3 level crossings on the proposed route which has now been abandond by BAA.

Wokingham had an even greater amount of level crossings - 5- on the same proposed route.

Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich may not be welsh but does have a maritime theme to it.

Hayes and Harlington because it also mentions two towns in one station name.

Think I can guess the next station!

Gerrards Cross was originally called "Gerrards Cross for the Chalfonts"

The re-opened Brighouse station was originally "Brighouse for Rastrick"

The stretch of line through Manchester Oxford Road is also a notorious bottleneck

Aren't non-NR stations forbidden?

I shall provide a response that matches both Llandudno (before Cutty Sark) and Dalmuir - Stratford's name also has a syllable that is typical of its country ("ford", as opposed to "llan" and "muir").

Attleborough also was opened in 1845 and was served by services operated by the Great Eastern Railway.

Stansted Mountfitchet was also opened in 1845 and saw services run by the Great Eastern Railway.

Not including the stations in question, spot the difference! :p
