So, what do you think the most ridiculously named station in UK is? And why?
Canterbury East and West, almost exactly due north and south of each other.
Indeed and if they ever open it, 'Portway Parkway' will take the prize.Any station with 'Parkway' in its name. What is it supposed to mean? A park and ride for visiting the place? A station too far from town meaning you have to drive there if you are catching a train to somewhere else? Or just any old station with a very big car park?
I have a particular dislike* of Bicester Village.
* In both senses of the word.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
The Dulwich stations make even less sense...
Always thought that Wye was a questionable name for the station.

The station in Wales that has the longest name has got to be one.
Shippea Hill in the fens such a flat low level landscape no such thing as hills
