# Railway station fun
Hi all. I booked the trip at the top of the image for this weekend, then noticed the word spelled out. I then began to wonder if there's any more fun to be had? There is. Lots. I think I've only scratched the surface.

# I ran a dictionary against a list of three-letter station codes
and got 2021 matches. I'm not dumping them here, it'd be really annoying. I tried putting it on Pastebin but it decided some of the words are offensive.

Anyway, for what it's worth it includes:

BEHEAD - BEDWORTH to EARLSFIELD
BIGAMY - BILLINGSHURST to AMBERLEY
BINMEN - BINGHAM to MENHENIOT
BREAST - BRENTWOOD to ASTON

GOBBLE - GOBOWEN to BRAMLEY
HARLOT - HARMAN'S CROSS (SWANAGE R) to LOSTOCK
HORRID - HORLEY to RIDGMONT
INCEST - INCE to EASTERHOUSE
MASHED - MANORS to HALEWOOD
PUTRID - PUTNEY to RIDGMONT

Your are my person of the week. Just love word-based bollocks like this. Would've missed it without the newsletter shout-out too.

I feel like I unwittingly did this joke a couple of months ago but less funny
