Newmarket

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

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).

 

[TrainfanBen]

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.

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).
