Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch contains two colours.

 

[zwk500]

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch contains two colours.

For those of us who don't speak Welsh, could you highlight them?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch contains two colours.

White and red, respectively.

As in "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave".

P.S. Is this station officially known by its long name?

 

[SargeNpton]

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch contains two colours.

In English (supposedly): St Mary’s Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel Near to the Rapid Whirlpool of Llantysilio of the Red Cave.

But of course the official station name is only Llanfairpwll.

 

[aw1972]

Of course! Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. White and red (mutated) respectively.

 

[greaterwest]

Redbridge, Redhill, Slade Green, Borough Green & Wrotham and Greenhithe come to mind.

 

[TheSel]

White and red, respectively.

Well, if we're allowing non-English words, I'll bid:

Rotherham and
Roterhithe

... 'rot' being German for 'red'.
