There'll be a lot more if their real names include "Station"; and, if
"Underground" is also included ... .

If I had a list of all stations, I could easily use DOS find to
successively pass only those letters, after conversion to lower case.


Result :

Bond Street
Brent Cross
Cannon Street
Cockfosters
Earls Court
Euston Square
Gloucester Road
Goodge Street
Great Portland Street
Harrow & Wealdstone
High Street Kensington
Hounslow Central
Liverpool Street
Mornington Crescent
New Cross Gate *
Northfields
Old Street
Osterley
Preston Road
Ravenscourt Park
Shoreditch *
Silvertown & City Airport *
Stanmore
Stonebridge Park
Totteridge & Whetstone
Walthamstow Central
West Brompton
West Harrow
Westbourne Park

St changed to Street except where Saint
Rd changed to Road

find /i "s" $1 | find /i "t" | find /i "o" | find /i "e" | find /i "r"

I have not checked that all are on the Tube map as real Underground
stations; beware of those starred.
