Station names that have an amusing Spoonerism

[Skimpot flyer]

When my nephew travelled with me to various football stadia, he’d often do a deliberate Spoonerism on station names. Some were phonetically amusing, if not spelt the same.
One on the Thameslink network made me chuckle, He still refers to South Merton as “Mouth Certain” to this day

Anyone have others they can think of?

One that comes out as two actual words (but is probably pushing it for a spoonerism as the station name is only one) is Money Seeds (Sunnymeads).

I quite like Pidcot Darkway (Didcot Parkway), if only for the fact that "Darkway" can occasionally be more apt than "Parkway".

The one I always spoonerise by mistake, though, is Hayes and Harlington.

Not a spoonerism but you don’t want to try Finsbury Park backwards in polite company!

Always enjoyed Gatport Airwick.

Although you may not want to try the spoonerism in the local area either...

Hagenham Deathway on the District Line in East London.

Which works better on paper than spoken!

Back in the mid-1970s, when I lived in Hampshire, the Eastleigh-Fareham line was served on Weekdays by an hourly DEMU shuttle service which used the bay platform no. 2 at Fareham. One of my local spotting friends at that time used to refer to it as the Shutley Bottle.

I've variously heard Heaton Holth and Chinwester in my time.

Also, I'm not going to be the one to explain Hunts Cross, but I've heard one of those too

Some Spoonerisms are obligatory - they become the usual name and you have to stop and think to make sure you use the "correct" version. Even before it was built, the station to be named Porkway Partway - or something like that - was confusing, so much so that in the event it was named Porkway Part & Ride.

Pristol Barkway is funny if only for the reason that, said quickly, it sounds like that's what the automated announcement was saying all along.

....and further down the same line, you may have your ticket checked by Hurgess Bill.

My niece once texted to meet her at Birmingham Newt Stew, not technically a spoonerism but has stuck in the family ever since.

If Irish stations are allowed, how about Lush & Rusk?

You can always milk the name of a certain West Yorkshire Station..

Many years ago we had a family holiday in Vermont and took a train from Bellows Falls.
Obviously, that’s never how we recall the name.
