Several stations are named after pubs: IIRC the Angel pub at Angel is
not the original, which is gone.


Wasn't that a cake shop rather than a pub? Oh, i see it was a pub before
that.

Anyway, everyones missed the most obvious example - Heathrow Airport,
which has not one but four stations named after it!


Four? I count either three or five: H123 and Heathrow Central; two T4s;
and a T5.


Ah, i was single-counting the T4s. My bad.

whatever you might want the program to mean, the machine will blindly
follow its meaningless rules and come to some meaningless conclusion. --
