(Light-hearted). Things you might expect to see at railway locations but don't

[T-Karmel]

No angry gates at Cross Gates

Maybe they're gone since New Cross Gate opened?

Was the heath gone over a row at Heathrow?

I couldn't be more disappointed in a wide car selection at Greenford, yet missing one particular colour and model...

Always wanted to see a mouth of a port, but I wasn't lucky enough at Portsmouth.

The quay at Newquay was a bit rusty...

I didn't expect to leave hungry from Sandwich.

I wasn't impressed by Brighton after dark.

And it wasn't worth it when I got to Worthing.

I'll get my coat

 

[AzureOtsu]

can you get sandwiches at Sandwich? and is there a ford at Ford?

 

[johnnychips]

Whitland is not a country that continuously celebrates Pentecost.

 

[SussexSeagull]

Durrington-on-Sea isn't actually by the sea. It has Goring separating it.

 

[Tezza1978]

No wild dogs at Barking...

 

[London Trains]

No sign of a junction at Mitcham Junction (anymore).

Nowhere to have desserts at Pudding Mill Lane.

Of course no sign of Arsenal Football Club anywhere near Woolwich Arsenal.

No sign of a large, peaceful green area at Wembley Park (quite the opposite actually).

Definitely no Terminal 1 at Heathrow T123 (although I believe it may have been renamed with the T1 dropped from the name now).

 

[61653 HTAFC]

I was disappointed that Wye has no facility for turning a locomotive...

Can't remember what I went there for anyway

 

[Isambard]

It’s not Christmas in Ewell…

 

[SteelWeelApeal]

I have never seen someone at Aldermaston put an older mast on their boat.

Nor have I seen someone cut slices of meat from a midge at Midgham.

 

[xotGD]

I couldn't find anything to write with at Penrith, Penzance or Penarth.

Nobody greeted me by moving their hand to and fro in the air at Waverley or Wavertree.

I was not questioned over my choice of meat at Wylam.

There is a total lack of extension cables at Leeds.

No sign of Hercule Poirot's sidekick at Hastings.

People were telling fibs at Truro.

A lack of log cabins at Mansfield Woodhouse.

No comfortable sofas at Settle.

No obvious signs of damage at Dent.

Two local rivals were not playing each other at Derby.

 

[Alanko]

No celebrated English mathematicians to be found placed on the town at Newton-on-Ayr.

 

[TBY-Paul]

I’ve yet to discover any large religious buildings inhabited by habit wearing individuals of any of any kind at Thornaby.

 

[Purple Train]

I didn't see any cyclists with one wheel up in the air at Weeley, either.

 

[peterblue]

Trains?

 

[SteveyBee131]

My ails were not cured when I went to Healing

Perhaps thankfully, I didn't get ulcers when I went to Ulceby

I found no open-toed footwear at Kirk Sandall, nor at Sandal & Agbrigg

 

[ServerHoster]

I didn't see an amazing jacket at Great Coates

 

[OhNoAPacer]

Didn't see a heavy hairpiece at Wigton

 

[Howardh]

Anyone seen a barrow at Barrow, a fox at Foxfield or a toilet at Weeton? And I'm not sure how many earls live in Earlstown? And definitely never seen two smoking barrels at Lostock!

 

[Jonny]

Is there a mill at Bardon Mill? I think not.

 

[The exile]

No wild dogs at Barking...

You’ve obviously never been there on a Friday night!

 

[Class45]

No-one called Lea is buried at Leagrave

 

[WizCastro197]

Seems to be no red hills at Redhill

I don’t see any nut farms at Nutfield station.

No holy rocks at Godstone

No battles at Battle

Chelsea don’t seem to have scored any goals at Winchelsea

AH! You beat me too it with the Redhill one...!
But there are...

Not many pools in Poole?

No Bread at Rye

 

[pitdiver]

Did you find the horse though?

No still looking

 

[AJM580]

Henry I to Henry VII were nowhere to be seen at Seven Kings.
Littleport doesn't have any port - even a tiny one

 

[Jonny]

Henry I to Henry VII were nowhere to be seen at Seven Kings.
Littleport doesn't have any port - even a tiny one

Is there a port at Stockport for that matter?

There definitely is not one at Davenport.

 

[Welshman]

Is there a port at Stockport for that matter?

Not even one for the importation of gravy.

Come to think of it, there's no obvious remedy for journalists' high cholesterol at Prestatyn.

Plus no decent sausages in Bangor.

And I've yet to find a nice shaded woodland walk in Valley.

And as for holy faces in Halifax....

 

[Essan]

There was nowhere to buy feed for my horse at Haymarket

Pershore was nowhere near the coast

The ground at Moreton in Marsh was dry as a bone

And the structure built to cross the river at Carrbridge was made of stone and not an automobile

 

[krus_aragon]

I went to Ford station, got very disappointed when they weren't selling cars.

That's 'cause they drove them over Here-ford.

Heath High Level and Heath Low Level are very much in the urban area of Cardiff with no heathland nearby

One could argue that there is indeed a low level of heathland at the latter.

 

[Calthrop]

No famous 18th / 19th century actor, miraculously resurrected, waiting to entertain me at Kemble.

 

[Bill57p9]

Neither an Elephant nor a Castle

And my head didn't get stuck in the ground in Ed-in-burrow (sorry)
