[Anon Mouse]

[Mike395]

Lewisham - the stop before New Cross on National Express coaches into London :P

 

[Zoe]

Bank, another 1990s DLR extenstion.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Waterloo, the next stop from Bank on the Waterloo & City

 

[atomicdanny]

Waterloo (Merseyside) - I think that this one is obvious!

 

[Oswyntail]

Abb(a)-ey Wood. Sorry

 

[Anon Mouse]

[Ivo]

Woodlesford less les = Woodford

Bounds Green, also on the A406.

 

[LE Greys]

Willesden Junction, also right next to a major depot for express stock.

[Anon Mouse]

[SteamontheMet]

[trentside]

Ore - At the other end of the Marshlink line.

(Also one letter short of my previous contribution...)

 

[CardiffKid]

Rhoose Cardiff International Airport

(presumably the shortest station name to the longest)

 

[Ivo]

Rhoose Cardiff International Airport

(presumably joint the shortest station name to the longest)

Allowing for my change, the point about the shortest name is correct. Rhoose is dependent on the state of Llanfairpwll; if you use the full name (which this formatting does not seem to like ) - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - then this trumps Rhoose easily. But otherwise, you are correct.

Let's move to one of the stations nearest to me, Freshford. On occasion, you will find a FGW HST passing through without stopping...

Engineering works? Hello?

 

[OxtedL]

Eynsford. Because I can't think of anything more intelligent.

 

[12CSVT]
