What's the precise criteria required for a station to be on the list?

SURREY Quays.

CALEDONIAN Road? If so, then CALEDONIAN Road and Barnsbury as well.

I could put forward a case for Kensington OLYMPIA as well.

Great Portland Street to Stratford International. That sounds like a chance to use a mode of transport that has never been used before... I can see quite a nice route already.

If you are allowing Stratford, because there is somewhere else of the same name, then there are lots of other examples. For example, there is a Redbridge near Southampton and a Woodford near Manchester.

There must be a Town/City/County/State/Country elsewhere in the world....

Thanks Nigel I thought there might well be few others that I wouldn't know straight off...

Well, that gives you everywhere on this map for starters!

I'd guess you'd be hard-pressed to find a station that doesn't share at least part of its name with a settlement somewhere else in the English-speaking world. Many place-names in our former colonies are derived from English ones.
