On my way down to Christchurch last week, I noticed the train passed a lot of stations with long one-word names.
↓ Earlsfield
↓ Berrylands
↓ Farnborough
↓ Winchfield
↓ Basingstoke
↓ Micheldever
↓ Winchester
↓ Swaythling
↓ Brockenhurst
↓ Christchurch
Nothing longer than Christchurch, though.
So I wondered how many UK stations have longer names than Christchurch.
One word, no hyphens.
Here's my list (hopefully correct).
13 letters: Achnashellach, Battlesbridge, Billingshurst, Chatelherault, Glasshoughton, Haverfordwest, Hildenborough, Hollingbourne, Inverkeithing, Kidderminster, Knaresborough, Knightsbridge, Littleborough, Littlehampton, Middlesbrough, Northallerton, Penrhiwceiber, Pontarddulais, Robertsbridge, Rickmansworth, Scotstounhill, Sittingbourne, Whatstandwell, Wolverhampton, Woodmansterne
14 letters: Llanfairfechan, Sawbridgeworth, Wellingborough
15 letters: Stallingborough
16 letters: Penrhyndeudraeth
n.b. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch station is officially Llanfairpwll, so that doesn't count.
