Passenger information displays at stations sometimes display dummy destinations for trains to avoid unsuspecting passengers being taken on unnecessarily circuitous journeys.
On the platforms at York, trains to Leeds via Harrogate are advertised as going to Burley Park (the last stop before Leeds on that route).
At London Waterloo, the dummy destination shown for clockwise Kingston Roundabout trains is Strawberry Hill.

I say a station and the person below would say another station that has something in common with it. It doesn't have to be unique, but try and make it as different as possible and please ensure that all associations are rail related.

A separate game (The Settlement Association Quiz) exists for any non-rail related links.

Perhaps this extract from the quiz guide notes/rules needs to be highlighted once again.

Melton Mowbray is another station which sees services booked for Class 158 and Class 170 haulage, and by the same operators as Ely.

Horsham on the Mole Valley Line provides a link to the Arun Valley Line. Thus runs from Littlehampton to Three Bridges, and passes through Faygate on it's way
