[Ashley Hill]

I couldn’t see any Wombles in Wimbledon.

[PaulJ]

No German idiots at Dover

Only English idiots...

 

[meepmeep]

I couldn’t see any Wombles in Wimbledon.

Maybe they are underground?

I purchased a ticket to see Barnham but there was no circus.

No Bees at Beeston.

Disappointed to find the train was running 10 minuets late at Earley.

No sign of IBM at the IBM Halt

 

[Birmingham]

You can only head in two directions from Five Ways: north to New Street or south to University.

 

[STINT47]

I couldn’t see any Wombles in Wimbledon.

Did you look on the underground or overground? Failing that they may have been wombeleing free.

 

[PlatformEdgeVT]

No compasses and maps at Navigation Road, No former monarchs at London/Manchester/Southend Victoria...

 

[Birmingham]

You won't find any of the Indian dish at Curriehill.

In the other direction no angry apartment blocks in Crossflatts, and no dumpsters at Skipton.

 

[Alanko]

No regal appendages to be observed from Kinghorn.

 

[lxfe_mxtterz]

I expected I'd have to take the bus back from Loch Eil Outward Bound, but something remarkable must've happened, as a train suddenly appeared to take me home on my return journey.

At Haltwhistle, shockingly the whistle actually marked the departure of the train!

And at Winnersh Triangle, my train mysteriously got cancelled - well, I suppose that one's accurate at least.

 

[aliceh]

I've not even seen one beatified man called Ed being interred at Bury St Edmunds

I've also found the platform to have excellent grip at Islip

[Jonny]

The sea at Seaham is salt water, no porcine material involved!
