Have we included Three Cocks Junction or Three Counties yet? Or Forty Hill?

There appears to have been a station called Four Roads, but for goods only.

While struggling to sleep last night, I was trying to see if I could (phonetically) count to ten in French using British station names... Some are a bit of a stretch, admittedly!
1. Great Malv-un (Great Malvern)
2. Hud-deux-sfield (Huddersfield)
3. Trois-ford (Twyford)
4. Quatre-ford (Catford)
5. Cinq-y for Penketh (Sankey for Penketh)
6. Six-cale (Seascale)
7. Sept-le (Settle)
8. Huit-on (Weeton)
9. Pen-neuf-ffordd (Penyffordd)
10. Had to cheat a little and stay on the Borderlands Line for the proposed station at: Dix-side Parkway (Deeside Parkway).

Yes, I need to get out more!

Three Horse Shoes. (In the nineties one of the signallers there was a Mr Outlaw….)

The late Ken Howard (1H84 etc. author) enjoyed the word play of stations beginning ‘St’ becoming ‘Saint’. A couple of favourites were,

St. One Bridge (Stonebridge) Park
St. One Haven
Etc..

:E Just for clarification from the OP - @TheTallOne - did you intend to only list stations which are currently open to passengers....or closed stations too?
I was thinking open stations as it'd be fun to see how long it would take to visit a load of them in numerical order. But it's just for fun so anything goes.
Yes....your good self in post #42! Deja-vue? :D

How many stations are there whose names are solely composed of numeric or mathematical symbols I wonder?
If you accept mixed notations ‘Lee’ would be an example. In the future ‘Pill’ on the Portishead branch would sort of qualify (Pi+two Roman Ls).
