Yes, but any word containing all the letters R, E, A and L would do, as long as it doesn't contain any of the letters from St John's Wood. Try "imperial" or "carefully" for instance.

Yes, but "mackerel" sounds more catchy as a fact doesn't it?

This site seems a little out of date. It still has the East London Line on, and no Wood Lane.

And why are we only giving credit to mackerel within the fish family? How's about Dover Sole? A much overlooked fish, in my opinion. And correct me if I'm wrong, but if my calculations are correct, the only station which doesn't contain its letters is Bank.
