These are very splendid answers, and show a great deal of thought! Our two assistants have been going through each others lists of stations on their ipads. Sven has scrolled through Samantha's list to the very last, but Samantha is stuck on his Wood End, so won't be able to help for a while.

Samantha has to leave now. Her gentleman friend is taking her on a short break to North Wales. She's hoping he'll take her to Llandudno and Bangor.

If you wonder how that's possible, note that it contains the word "Lower" and it's symmetrically placed within the first word
