0:22 This might sound like a good idea, but beware this place having the same name as a different place that is well-known. Bootle station isn't in Bootle but in some obscure little place in Cumbria also called Bootle. 1:07 True, many stations end in Park or Parkway, but the purposes are very different. A station named X Park is just named after a park. But X Parkway indicates that it's a parkway station --- one catering for a lot of passengers driving to it.
1:44 Llandudno junction is a rare case of a town being named after a station. Llandudno Junction was originally called Tremarl. When the railways arrived it was on the junction of the branch to Llandudno and so it was renamed Llandudno Junction. (So the video was also slightly wrong. Llandudno Junction is named so not because it is a junction in Llandudno, but because it was the junction FOR Llandudno)
yeah makes sense. i'm pretty sure i said in the video that the station is named after the junction, not the town with just the "junction" suffix. But i didn't know this so thanks for pointing it out!
You missed a very common station name: It's the 1840s and you're building a railway between 2 major cities. The major landowner en route will let you build your railway on his land, but only if you build him a station so he can catch a train straight to London (or whichever city) from his country estate. You have no intention of diverting your line to accommodate this, so you build the station at the line's closest approach to the road past his house, and name it after the tiny village 3 or 4 miles away. In the 20th century, the village grows into a commuter town, and the locals grumble every morning that they have to walk over a mile to the station to get to work.
Fun one is when you have a station in a town which shares a name with another town. For example, you have Rainham (Kent) and Rainham (Essex) - which are fun examples, because both of them are not shown on maps or station signs with those names, but are in databases and route-finding etc. Whats even more confusing, is that Rainham (Essex) is not even located in Essex - but rather is the station before crossing the border to enter Essex.
When making my rail maps I just take random prefixes and join them with common suffixes like -ton, -ford, -ham, -hithe, -ston(e), -ley, -ney etc. based on what the surrounding area is like (eg if it’s a rural village, seaside town, busy suburb, park or hill) Adding quirky or rare suffixes to the place name, like Green, Newton, Abbots, Chipping, cardinal words and size words like upper/lower/little etc makes it sound realistic and give character to the area.
3:44 I feel like if it’s named after a street in the place, you could just call it the street if passengers already know where it is. For example Stepford Whitefield Street could just become Whitefield Street.
Meanwhile NYC: 1. Name it after a street. ( 23rd Street, Prospect Avenue, Bay Parkway ) 2. If it is near a landmark or important place, you may choose to add that to the station name ( 34th Street - Penn Station, 161st Street - Yankee Stadium, Eastern Parkway - Brooklyn Museum ) 3. Alternatively, just name it after said landmark or important place ( South Ferry, Aqueduct Racetrack, City Hall ) 4. You may choose to either have the name of the neighborhood included. This can be with the street name ( Newkirk Avenue - Little Haiti, 63rd Drive - Rego Park, Kew Gardens - Union Turnpike ) or without street name ( Sheepshead Bay, Parkchester, Morris Park ). This is especially common with terminals ( Woodlawn, Coney Island - Stillwell Avenue, Jamaica - 179th Street ) 5. Is it connected to airport via AirTrain? Why not include that in the name ( Howard Beach - JFK Airport , Sutphin Boulevard - Archer Avenue - JFK Airport ) 6. Feeling spicy? Why not name it after two streets ( 174th - 175th Streets, Bushwick Avenue - Aberdeen Street, 74th Street - Broadway ). This can be especially useful to avoid disambiguation if other stations share the name ( 5th Avenue - 53rd Street, Cathedral Parkway - 110th Street, Myrtle - Willoughby Avenues ) or if it's a station complex of two formerly separate stations ( Myrtle - Wyckoff Avenues, Lexington Avenue - 59th Street, 4th Avenue - 9th Street ) Please keep in mind, station names are subject to change for various reasons! 57th Street - 7th Avenue and East Broadway were former terminals and were called Midtown - 57th Street and Lower East Side - East Broadway. Street names can change, resulting in 23rd Street - Ely Avenue becoming Court Square - 23rd Street and Manhattan Street becoming 125th Street or causing weird dual naming oddities like 33rd Street - Rawson Street and East 143rd Street - Saint Mary's Street with two street names referring to the same street. Sometimes they'll change for seeming no reason like 180th Street - Morris Park Avenue becoming East 180th Street and Mott Haven becoming 138th Street - Grand Concourse. Or they'll change due to stations merging into station complexes like Atlantic Avenue - Pacific Street into Atlantic Avenue - Barclays Center and Broadway - Nassau Street into Fulton Street. Or they might just be inaccurate like Harlem - 148th Street actually being on 149th Street and Junius Street not actually reaching Junius Street and being on Livonia Avenue between Powell Street and Sackman Streets. Definitely very simple and has not caused confusion, I can assure that
There's also the practice of completely original names for stations. The station after Kingsbury, built by the Metropolitan Railway in open fields with no settlement nearby, was called Queensbury and Verney Junction was named after one of the Metropolitan's Directors, Lord Verney. Again, there was no settlement nearby, except for the Lord's family home in Calvert villiage (Calvert was his family name), a couple of miles away, which had it's own station. The Great Western Railway often called stations (XXXX) Road, where the villiage of (XXXX) was sometimes a few miles away. Sometimes stations were named so as not to be easily confused with other stations nearby. For example, your choice of Leighton could easily be confused with one of my local stations, Leyton.
2:07There were quite a few Victorias, the Great Central Raillway was particularly fond of them, like Nottingham and Sheffield, because they were built around the time of the jubilee of the Queen of that name. And Manchester of course
Rotherham Central is unique as it is a "Central", but there isn't another railway station in the town. The other station (Rotherham Marsborough) closed in the 1980s.
Traditionally a station with the suffix Junction is named for the less significant branch, like "by the way, here's where this junction goes". In America and Australia, directionals can also be prefixes instead of suffixes depending on aesthetic preference.
London underground uses both for directional stations. Like for north, North Acton, North Ealing, North Greenwich, North Harrow and North Wembley have it before, and Clapham North and Lambeth North have it after.
@@DC4444 Perhaps it would be good if it were consistent, that directional prefixes were for stations on the same line and directional suffixes for stations on different lines.
N.B. If your station is in a tiny place (Wormley), name it instead after a slightly bigger place nearby, preferably with a confusably similar name (Witley). Conversely, if a larger, closer place already has a station (Burgess Hill), use the name of a tiny place that's actually further away (Wivelsfield). Another strategy: Use a locality name that nobody uses (Aldrington) instead of a much more locally understood term (e.g. Poet's Corner). You're welcome 😅
@@MattijsVandebroek They keep changing the names of the stations?? That sounds very confusing! (Netherlands judging by your name, or somewhere else, if you're happy to say?)
@@JfromUK_ Belgium. Most stations keep their name though, but Charleroi - Sud became Charleroi - Central as it is their major station. Brussel National Airport became Brussels Airport Zaventem. There are a few more examples. Its hard to make any choice over here to be honest, there's always someone against a decision. That's why some station names are confusing here. Also, if a station is on the property of town A, but it's meant to serve town B, it gets named after town B, even though it's in town A. Pretty confusing, right?
Wrexham *General* says shwmae. At least in the UK you don't reach a level of confusion in German-speaking countries where the main station or "Hauptbahnhof" can be (but isn't always) separate from the central or "Mitte" station.
In Vancouver Transit System: TransLink almost every station ends with a street or road but you take the street out of the stations name. For example Granville Station in Vancouver there's a road called Granville street. If they wanted to make this stop at Granville street they will name it Granville. Same thing at Waterloo
5 ways to name a metro station: Method 1: you care-name of something around you or the area it is: example: Stepford Victoria Square or Farleigh-University Method 2: name it fast: you have then this: James Street (like it doesn’t even suggest Where it is) Method 3: u Wanna feel cool and Important so you name it like a train station, take note Toronto and Newcastle
What about -On-Sea or -By-Sea? 2 stations near me, one has -By Sea, the other On-Sea. One has changed it's name from (town name) to -By-Sea before the -On-Sea was built.
Hertford East got the name as I was on the Great Eastern Railway. The other station in the town was Hertford North on the Great Northern Railway. The naming didn't always refer to the cardinal points.
Come on, you just made that video so you could flex your pronunciation of Llandudno Junction. In the old days, you could also name your station after something that wasn't there in order to bait people to use your station.
2:08 Victoria isn't unique I can think of Manchester, Southend and London Victoria. There's also loads of closed stations ending in victoria like Sheffield and Nottingham.
One pair I can think of that's a little different from the others you've mentioned is Heath High Level and Heath Low Level in northern Cardiff. Though arguably that's similar to the cardinal directions, but on an orthogonal axis to any of those.
Great Video! here in Canada (and also the US) we have them differently Instead of Central, we use the term "Union Station" sometimes it can be a bit different like for Example: "Boston South Station" and "New York Penn Station" but the Union Station word is mostly used for big stations. for any other station names we refer them to the road it's near or the region/area it's in (though it's not always like that.) I'll use GO Transit as a example here "Eglinton GO" station is used as it's beside the road "Eglinton Ave" and another example "Streetsville GO" Station as it's in the small village called Streetsville in another city. Sometimes It can be named on a person like for example "St George" Station on the TTC Subway Line 1.
I came up with a station name for my (future) model railway, I’m gonna call it “schnitzel station” because schnitzel is an epic choice of food and yeah-
But it doesn't explain why Didcot Parkway needed to be called Didcot Parkway when it's the only station in Didcot and it's not right on the motorway, like Bristol Parkway
theres a very unique station on the fife circle in scotland (not dunfermline city, one of the only train stations to have the word ‘city’ in it [in scotland anyway]) called glenrothes with thornton. the station itself is located in a small village called thornton, while it served glenrothes too. i dont know of any other station name like this
On a semi-related note, Glenrothes with Thornton is also unusual in its track layout - looks like a normal double-track line but it’s actually two bidirectional single tracks!
@ yeah, i believe its getting battery operated trains in the coming feature too that will charge through until dalmeny, run to glenrothes, charge there, then return. finally the sprinters and turbostars get a break lol
yeah i know, it was just an example because there is another station close to it and its closer to the centre. But I know that its basically pointless and minor
1:49 no hate but (rather confusingly) Llandudno Junction is actually the name of a town - the station isn’t a junction station in Llandudno. Great video otherwise though.

Yes Clapham Junction is in Battersea rather than Clapham.
The fact this is somewhat related to SCR is quite funny, Keep the funny stuff coming!!

The GWR used to name the station closest to the centre "(place) Town", which is why Kettering Town on the SVR has the name it does.

1:49 no hate but (rather confusingly) Llandudno Junction is actually the name of a town - the station isn’t a junction station in Llandudno. Great video otherwise though.
