Isn't Oldbury in the borough of Sandwell though? A really clumsy name!
Apparently so... fair point!

Stockton in Stockton-on-Tees and Appleby station at Appleby-in-Westmorland.
Does Westmorland still exist? From memory I think it was absorbed into Cumbria in the 1970's.
1974 I think although the town is still called Appleby-in-Westmorland.
Connel Ferry station, in the village named Connel. Not a ferry in sight.
Cumbernauld is actually in South Carbrain, and not located in the actual new town centre (where the A80/M80 passes through).
On a side note, Cumbernauld (the town centre) has the dubious honour of being nominated for and being the recipient of the Urban Realm's (magazine publication) Carbuncle Award the most number of times - known in Scotland as the "Plook on a Plinth Award" for dreadful planning and design. Now when anybody asks you whats it called? you will know the reason why.
London Paddington, Marylebone, Euston, St Pancras, Victoria, Waterloo and Kings Cross aren't in London.
What are you looking at me like that for?
I'm told though I'm not sure if it's true that Sutton Parkway is really on the edge of Kirkby.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport Station must be in with a shout - it's over 30 miles from Glasgow!
Interestingly Clapham Junction station *is* now in the locality of Clapham Junction, ie the location has taken the name of the station. Similarly Llandudno Junction station is not in Llandudno but is now in Llandudno Junction (and you can catch a train to Llandudno).
