[Closed] Songs with train stations in the lyrics

that one by stiff little fingers

or every other song by St Etienne?

Waiting In Walthamstow-The Cranberries

Billericay Dickie, Ian Dury and the Blockheads

Doesn't have to be ABOUT a railway station, it just has to contain the complete name of the station.

I'd just like to point out that all three of mine ARE about the station and are therefore superior in every way.

Billy Bragg, A13, Trunk Road to the Sea has quite a few.

It starts down in Wapping
There ain't no stopping
By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham
Down to Grays Thurrock
And rather near Basildon
Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-On-Sea,
Chalkwell, Prittlewell
Southend's the end

Cutting Crewe

Warwick Avenue

(Manchester) Piccadilly Palare

Piccadilly works because of the tube station as well.

However that whiney self important **** is banned from this thread.

Beg, steal or Borough

Is that a no to 'Your Arsenal', then?

Piccadilly is Piccadilly Circus though 😉

Underground overground wombling free
The Wombles of Wimbledon...

Robbie Williams really, really likes Angel station

That's Angel[b]s[/b]

Wimbledon counts though. And Shermer75 gets a prize for creativity.

never thought it would happen...

up the junction by squeeze, no?

Steve Reich/Kronos Quartet - Different Trains

Return to Brixton - so not only the station but the ticket too 🙂

White Man in Hammersmith Palais, the Clash

Public Service Broadcasting to the rescue

As the rules seem flexible, how's about a video in a train station?

London Bridge by Fergie.
Perth by Bon Iver
Train to Birmingham by John Hiatt

Waverley Steps - Roddy Woomble

Homeward Bound

[I]It is uncertain exactly where the song was written: in an interview with Paul Zollo for SongTalk Magazine, Art Garfunkel says that Simon wrote the song in a railway station "around Manchester" while in an earlier interview for Playboy Magazine Simon stated that the railway station was in Liverpool. It is likely, however, that it was written at Widnes railway station during a long wait for a train, when traveling back from Widnes, where he had been playing; a commemorative plaque is displayed on the wall of the Liverpool-bound waiting room.[/I]

White City by the Pogues.

And btw the rules are NOT flexible, they are just poorly defined.

The Clash - [u]Broadway[/u]
The Feeling - Blue [u]Piccadilly[/u]
Pulp - [u]PTA[/u] [i] (Port Talbot Parkway)[/i]

[i]Rudy[/i], by Supertramp. Cue Paddington station announcer:
"The 19.45 train to Bristol Temple Meads will depart from platform three, calling at Reading, Didcot, Swindon, Chippenham, Bath Spa and Bristol Temple Meads. Passengers for Ramsey, change at Didcot"
There's eight main-line stations right there.

Hayes of Spades, Motorhead

In similar vain - St John's Wood is the only station to contain none of the letters from the word "mackerel".

Hue and Cry - looking for linda

Sorry Rusty, 'What is Chatteris' only one, Ely. Both Chatteris and St Ives are long closed. (Still a great song, especially if you know Chatteris).

Panic by the Smiths has a few.

Barking

No stations, but I'm jumping someone else's train...

is that a euphamism??

Both Chatteris and St Ives are long closed. (Still a great song, especially if you know Chatteris).

St Ives isn't closed, regular service on a branch line from St Erth.

Sunny Goodge Street by Donovan

Ticket to Ryde - The Beatles
Frankly Mr Shanklin - The Smiths
Sandown - Gordon Lightfoot

All on one line on the Isle of Wight. Struggling with Brading and Smallbrook Junction though.

Mile End - Pulp
Drem Bones - Louis Armstrong
WunDunbar - Tenpole Tudor

St Ives isn't closed, regular service on a branch line from St Erth.

Don't know it but if you can hum the tune I'll play along 😉
