Try "Penpol" this is of Cornish derivation and means "pen" a steep hill or headland, "pol" a pool or lake! It actually exists close to the A39 north of Falmouth! The nearest station in real life is Perranwell Station not sure what line this is, it terminates at Falmouth Good luck ry-trains (Nigel Gostick)

Fishponds ?

Fishponds was Midland territory :-)

Will you dare to state that it is not in the South West? in any case it started life under Brunel and died in the Western Region.

Problem solved then, name it after the village ;-)

Thanks all Marsh Hill it is, but loved some of the funny suggestions..

Sounds a bit of a lame duck to me...

How about "Fawkham Hall"?

One of the Carry On movies had a seaside resort called Fircombe.

There's a village called Faccombe in Hampshire. It has a Hall.

And one of them featured the ultra-rare Oozelum bird, which promptly disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving behind a single blue feather.
