IBM is also named after nearby commercial premises, rather than the settlement the station serves.

(There was no district called Ashburys in Manchester, the station was originally named after the Ashbury Carriage & Iron Company's works.)

Tattenham Corner is also likely to get a greater than average number of visits by Train No 1X01.

(in retrospect, unlikely HMQ will bother getting the Royal Train out of the shed to go to Ascot, given the racecourse is just outside her back door at Windsor)

Wick is also served by Scotrail 158s and is North of Inverness.
