How many stations are named after people?
There's all those Victorias of course, and - in a way - all those St prefixes (and Welsh Llans) are named after ... well ... Saints, who may - or may not - have been actual people.
Thinking more of stations named after more "ordinary" people.
Prompted by the fact that Freshfield was named after a Mr Fresh, Chief Sanitary Inspector of Liverpool, who persuaded the railway to provide a siding for delivery of night soil (i.e. human waste) from Liverpool to local farmers and then to provide a station.
