[Ivo]

Besses o'the barn - girl's name

Bit of an archaic name though!

From Mill Hill to Ealing. Another London Zones Broadway station.

 

[OxtedL]

Broadway? This of course means New York...

...so Grand Central...

...so Northallerton

 

[The_Rail_WAy]

Garsdale, the other end of the line that the Wensleydale Railway wishes to eventually connect to from its link at Northallerton.

God I'm good at this!!

 

[Ivo]

Wigan North Western

Wallace, a resident of Wigan, always loved a bit of Wensleydale...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Bristol Temple Meads; nearest station to the Aardman studios in Bristol ( although I think they've moved to larger premises since, but still in the same area? )

 

[12CSVT]

Continuing with the Wallace & Gromit theme:

Summerseat (East Lancs Railway)

Summerseat is the nearest station to Tottington village (just over a mile away, and part of the film 'Curse of the were Rabbit' took place at Tottington Hall

 

[Zoe]

Summerseat

Torquay, for the Winter Garden shops.

 

[The_Rail_WAy]

Torquay, for the Winter Garden shops.

Continuing with the winter theme: Birmingham Snow Hill.

Sorry just had to be done.

 

[12CSVT]

Farringdon - at the north end of Snow Hill Tunnel

 

[LE Greys]

[Zoe]

Stoke-on-Trent...... In the potteries

Grantham, just north of Stoke Tunnel.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Skegness, at the end of a branch line from Grantham

 

[imagination]

Inverness.

Should be obvious.

 

[MCR247]

Plymouth

Also served by sleepers

 

[Bedpan]

Wigan North Western

Wallace, a resident of Wigan, always loved a bit of Wensleydale...

What an absolute CLASSIC!!!!

To continue.....Knighton, because if you catch a sleeper, you spend the spend the night on it

 

[Ivo]

Why thank you

Guildford. On paper, nonsensical. But Knights are (or were) known for their use of Lances. Dennis Lance buses were at least partly built in the Guildford area.

 

[OxtedL]

Borough Green and Wrotham, other end of the A25.

Hmmm, wonder why that's important to me .

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Wadhurst, another station that benefitted by a doubling of services in the Southeastern timetable massacre of December 2008.

 

[imagination]

People are copying my not-really-linked-at-all-except-by-some-stupid-yet-clever-reason way of connecting things

Anyway. Wadhurst -> Micklefield as Wadhurst used to have a school called Micklefield Wadhurst

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Allerton - Mickefield was due to disappear under East Leeds Parkway, Allerton has disappeared under Liverpool South Parkway!

 

[HugePilchard]

Hampton - because it can also be prefixed with 'North' to make a town with a station.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Bedhampton

 

[The_Rail_WAy]

Bedhampton

Okehampton (Devon) as some Beds well posh ones are made of oak-wood.

 

[MCR247]

Four oaks

Oke- oak

 

[Mojo]

Three Oaks - another number of oaks.
