That was pretty good, and I like that tune. It's a good tune for writing loads of stations to.

Anyone care to generalise to London National Rail stations? Here's a start (written in about twenty minutes with a London Rail and Tube Services on hand), which anyone can build on/scrap entirely (some of those rhymes look dubious, but with a grand total of 12 Chiltern stations that have to go one after the other, it is hard to make them rhyme with each other) if they want.

Or I might just sit down for a few hours with a map in hand and bash it out; it's good revision for the Random 15 NR round.

Fenchurch Street, West Ham and Limehouse, Dagenham Dock, Upminster,
Rainham, Barking, Wembley Stadium, Sudbury and Harrow Road and
Harrow-on-the-Hill, Chalfont and Latimer and Marylebone
West Ruislip, South Ruislip, Sudbury Hill Harrow, Amersham
Acton Main Line! Castle Bar Park, Drayton Green.
Ealing Broadway! Greenford, Hayes and Harlington.
Southall, Hanwell! Paddington and West Ealing.
West Drayton and Chorleywood and Rickmansworth and Northolt Park and Heathrow Terminals 12345.

[that was the First Great Western, now the South West Trains]

Kew Bridge! Hampton Court, Thames Ditton, Twickenham and Whitton, Richmond, Mortlake, Chiswick, Putney, Isleworth and Barnes, Worcester Park and Stoneleigh, Queenstown Road Battersea, Clapham Junction, Vauxhall, Waterloo.
North Sheen! Syon Lane and Kingston, Berrylands and Hampton, Ewell West and Fulwell, Strawberry Hill and Hampton Wick, Motspur Park and Brentford, quite a way from Kent, St. Margaret's and Malden Manor too.

Surbiton and Wimbledon and Raynes Park, Tolworth, Norbiton,
Chessington North, Chessington South, Teddington and Wandsworth Town and
Earlsfield, New Malden, Feltham, Hounslow, round the loop again,
That's the end of everything in London that's on South West Trains.

blah blah blah Loughboughdoughbloughtoughsloughcoughrough Junction, Elstree and Borehamwood, remember to make sure West Hampstead and West Hampstead Thameslink are two separate stations, stay in Zones 1-9, have a go!
All London buses: 23 hours 25 minutes (with Adham, David, Josh and Tangy)
