TRIVIA: Rhyming rail journeys

[CaptainHaddock]

Have you ever travelled from Dewsbury to Shrewsbury? Or perhaps from New Clee to Newquay?
Or maybe even Cottingham to Mottingham via Nottingham?

Can you think of any more?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Goole to Poole? Diss to Liss? Horley to Morley? Yorton to Gorton? Brampton to Northampton? Must be quite a few out there!

Nick Badley on YouTube has a series doing just this sort of thing: Point to Point

How about:
Wareham to Fareham
Wye to Lye (via Rye and Kyle of Lochalsh for Skye)
Brigg to Drigg
Renton to Kenton (via Church Fenton, Denton and Benton T&W Metro)
Chalk Farm to Yarm
St Bees to Prees
Falmer to Walmer

I think there is or was a daily Northern service from Stoke-on-Trent to Blackpool North via Adlington (Cheshire) and Adlington (Lancashire), although that's not a very imaginative rhyme.

There's been discussion about the south Wales to Edinburgh service; a slightly different route would take you from Cardiff to Penrith.

The classic Yarmouth to Barmouth the old Regional Railways Central covered them both

 

[DaventryRabbit]

How about Three Oaks to Four Oaks (Via Sevenoaks)

 

[Dr Hoo]

I made a point of doing Hanborough to Wanborough once.

Should there be a rule about not including ‘suffixes’, e.g. West, East, Road, Street, Junction, Wells and so on?

I don't if the Evening Standard (once one of London's three evening papers, now the only one and a weekly to boot) has done it yet, but there's an obvious rhyming one for their London railway quiz -- linking two named stations via four others for whose names one has to solve the clues -- Twickenham to Ickenham. As it is, it can be done with two changes, and a lot of variations: Richmond and West Hampstead; Richmond and Hammersmith; Clapham Junction and West Hampstead; Vauxhall and Kings Cross; Vauxhall and Green Park; Waterloo and Baker Street; Waterloo and Piccadilly; Waterloo and Green Park; Waterloo and Leicester Square.
