Nope, Hoe Street is the former name of Walthamstow Central - see Wikipedia
I stand corrected.

Ooo-ar!

You forgot North Walsham town and Fakenham East/West, County School (an utterly stupid name for a station) and I'm sure there are other ones on the M&GN like South Lynn etc.

Er...

Leuchars.

and, um, yeah.

I gather St Andrews did have a grand total of three stations over the various times it was connected to the railways. Alas, no more.

Some of these are crap - they're just the station name.

Berney Arms serves a pub called Berney Arms, it doesn't serve Berney and has just had Arms stuck on the end.

Similarly for Bescot Stadium, and Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

Wembley Stadium is another along these lines.

How about:
Glasgow Queen Street
Glasgow Queen Street Low Level
Glasgow Central
Balloch Central (Now dropped as Balloch Pier is disused)
Helensburgh Central
Helensburgh Upper
Tyndrum Upper
Tyndrum Lower?

That is all.
