I was once asked at Stratford (London) by a women with a deep African accent "haw da I get ta Klap-cton?"
This conversion took place on Platform 10 of Stratford (Regional) station, where direct trains depart for Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, which is where I assumed she wanted to go... but she actually wanted to go to
Clapton in the London Borough of Hackney - just two miles down the road...
Clacton... Clapton... how was I supposed to know?
There have been more stations called Newport on the UK railway system than any other name.
How about in Europe? There are three stations called Luxembourg in the EU; one in the country of Luxembourg proper, one in Belgium and one in France.
Gare Lëtzebuerg / Gare de Luxembourg / Bahnhof Luxemburg (Luxembourg)
Gare du Luxembourg (RER B, Paris, France)
Gare de Bruxelles Luxembourg / Station Brussel-Luxemburg (Line 161, Brussels, Belgium)
Must be one almighty cock-up if you wanted to go from Brussels to Luxembourg and end up in Paris!
