The "Railway Bishop" was Bishop Eric Treacy of Wakefield, who died on Appleby station while awaiting a railtour. There's a plaque to him there.

A different class of the quadrupeds normally associated with Newmarket would have been nourished by the produce originally available at Haymarket! [contrived or what?]

Birmingham New Street, Through trains can arrive and then "reverse" to get to there destination, although I'm not actually sure it happens in practice, but it must be possible.

Somewhere, not in London
London Euston, an equally dark concrete palace that has nothing operatonally wrong with it either (yet money is being spent to make it look pretty rather than where it needs spending)

I bet this would look good when written in Welsh, with my convoluted reasoning.....

Bourne End is the junction station with a very short single-track branch line with just one terminal station (Marlow), as is Stourbridge Junction to the single and terminal station (Stourbridge Town).

Bourne End yn yr orsaf gyffordd gyda byr iawn llinell cangen un trac gyda dim ond un orsaf terfynol (Marlow), fel y mae Stourbridge Cyffordd i'r orsaf sengl a terfynol (Stourbridge y Dref). ;)


Polesworth

Salhouse, only see's one operator call

For a laugh here's it in Gaelic: ;)

Tha Bourne End na stèisean aig comar le loidhne beag singilte le dìreach aon stèisean oirthireach (Marlow), coltach ri Comar Stourbridge dhan stèisean singilte is oirthireach (Baile Stourbridge).

Leominster is also pronounced totally different from the way it is spelt
