‘Approaching Platform 2 is the 07:47 service to London WINTERLOO’: South West Trains spread Christmas cheer by changing names for the festive season.

Commuters received a surprise this week as they arrived at their stations to find their journey destinations distinctly merrier, thanks to South West Trains.

Other favourites include:

  • Raynesdeer Park (Raynes Park)
  • Twinkleham (Twickenham)
  • Sleighmouth (Weymouth)
  • Wo three Kings (Woking)
  • Yule West (Ewell West)
  • Tinselbury (Tisbury)
  • Bracknoel (Bracknell)
  • Deck the Vauxhall (Vauxhall)
  • Snowymeads (Sunnymeads)
  • Salisberries (Salisbury)
  • Snowhampton Central (Southampton Central)
  • Basingstockings (Basingstoke)
  • New Mald-wine (New Malden)
  • Three Kingston (Kingston)

The company unveiled their name changes on Saturday, tweeting “A week today its Christmas Eve! This means one thing.. its time to unveil the #SWTChristmas station names!”

 A nice bit of festive cheer for this time of year, particularly given the recent train-related upheaval caused by the Southern strike – ’tis the season to be jolly indeed!
