Trivia: Stations with numbers in their name and route?

[TheTallOne]

On a train to four oaks, at five ways, I wondered how many other stations have numbers in their name.

Then I wondered if you could visit one of each, and if so, how high could you count and how long it would take to complete the journey!

For example, go from Stone, to Hartwood, to Three Bridges, to Four Oaks, and so on.

I guess sound alikes okay too, e.g. Tooting, for the fun of it.

I'm not sure there's a station for the number 6, but perhaps there's a station somewhere else in the world with that number in it?

Good work, hadn't spotted that one. Guessing it might be a preserved line? Still counts though.

There are several "authentic" eights. Leighton Buzzard is perhaps the best known.

Hmm, that's going to make getting there difficult.

Is it even recognisable now?

Yes old Welsh Mining town Line.

Will Underground station count …if so Nine Elms Underground Station

[johntea]

Not rail stations but Heathrow Terminal 2 & 3 / Heathrow Terminal 4 and Heathrow Terminal 5

I wonder if staff ever get asked ‘How do I travel to Terminal 1’

[Magdalia]

Six Bells Halt railway station…will this count for No.6

Six Mile Bottom station closed in 1967 and the signal box lasted until 1983.

It is still possible to pass through Six Mile Bottom on a train between Cambridge and Dullingham.
