Â*I saw one in Platform 1 at Paddington at around midnight. The

Â*I wonder why the "Via Stratford" is felt necessary.
Only locals and rail enthusiasts have heard of Shenfield.Â* This way,
tourists will know that it's somewhere near Stratford-on-Shakespeare.
Even journalists writing about rail have been known to describe
Crossrail as serving Sheffield.
On the other hand, routes like the #1 metro through Brussels cite
"Stockel" as the destination, and I've no idea where or what that is.
It's at the end of the line :-)
I was part hoping that it would be the shed as as translated to foreign.
