…or even Temple Meads. Or do plurals not count?
Wellll .. as I started it the thread was single words. Multiple word answers go all though the alphabet from Abbey Wood to Wood End ... and we are in the "Lighter side" where we can freely make up the rules as we go along. |

Bath, Dent, Settle, Bury
Bath is, of course, two words - Bath Spa. |

... Bury
Bury no longer has a national rail station. Bury (Knowlsey Street) closed in 1970 Bury (Bolton Street) closes in 1980 Both were known as just "Bury" at some point(s) in their history |

But Bury does have a railway station and it is called Bury Station on the ELR website. |

Martin Heron Should this station in a suburb of Bracknell be Martins Heron. I am not minded to get into a discussion on the use or not of apostrophes in a geographical context that is exercising part of the media. Apparently Ordnance Survey has a problem with them, I presume their GML (Geographical Markup Language) gets its nickers in a twist, or the users of it do! |

"Yes, I know "knickers" is spelt with a "K". I was at Oxford, it was one of the first things they taught us." |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
