I have just noticed that my previous post whilst very interesting is tarnished by the fact it is timed at 12pm. That really does annoy me. There is no such time as 12 pm. How can it be both midday (12 o'clock) and post midday (after 12 o'clock)? Train timetables don't make that error!!! That is confusing. Perhaps it should be renamed 12notmorningnotafternoon for clarity. Great idea. And the other one (when its dark) could be 12notmorningnotafternooneither

When I moved to Selsdon I believed we had a train station, it was called Selsdon Station. But it wasn't near Selsdon, and it closed in 1983. I was so upset I moved to France. France has a railway station.
It is closed. It's France, it's August. France is closed. Do you think it will be open for christmas?
Ah, someone already said that. Edited by Part Time James (07 Aug 2015 2.58pm)

In the town i live there are not one, not two but three stations! Maidstone East, Maidstone West and Maidstone Barracks two of them on the same line and about a 5 minute walk away from each other believe it or not. I have taken trains from 2 of them but yet to complete the full house, oh what an exciting time we live in. Fellow Maidstonian! You best hurry though, Maidstone east was on fire the other night.

I once dressed as a girl and 'pulled' a Palace fan on a train. He even took to social media in an attempt to reconnect with me. Edited by Southampton_Eagle (03 Aug 2015 3.28pm) hmm (if it was, PM me)
I got off a train yesterday at Bentley rather than Farnham. Biggest mistake of my life. There's nothing there, even the closest pub is a mile away. Had to wait 50 minutes to get a train back to Farnham. Still made it to the wedding on time so that was nice.

My local station is Ruislip Gardens, which is mentioned in "Middlesex" by John Betjeman: In Ruislip (a not particularly significant place) we have five rail stations: Ruislip Served by the Piccadilly, Metropolitan and Central Lines, and London Overground.

Pudding Mill Lane - The name of the station is taken from the nearby Pudding Mill Lane which, in turn, takes its name from the former Pudding Mill River, a minor tributary of the River Lea. This is believed to have taken its name from St. Thomas's Mill, a local water mill shaped like a pudding and commonly known as Pudding Mill. The area had also been called Knob Hill up until the 1890s. Sorry if already posted but just had to look it up! Thanks to Wikipedia.
