Title: Pub names from railway signs Post by: grahame on October 06, 2017, 20:51:50 Here's a couple of potential pub names and signs inspired by a few minutes changing trains at Swindon
(http://www.wellho.net/pix/pubnames1.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/pubnames2.jpg) What rail inspired pub names do you suggest? Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: ellendune on October 06, 2017, 21:03:41 Image not found is not a very inspired Pub name in my opinion.

Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: JayMac on October 07, 2017, 09:25:34 How about a pop-up pub in the Thames Valley next weekend for those who won't now be travelling by train.
'The Rail Replacement'. No dogs. No cycles. And a slow route to the bar. Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: stuving on October 07, 2017, 10:21:53 Could you have a two-sided sign with "Leaves on time" on one side and "Leaves on the line" on the other?

Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: JayMac on October 08, 2017, 17:45:19 What about these two? Would make great pub names.

Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: Chris from Nailsea on October 08, 2017, 22:29:54 The (platform) Alteration. ... or, at a rather more boisterous station, The Platform Altercation. That would be a tied, rather than free house, obviously. :P Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: broadgage on October 08, 2017, 23:11:28 How about a pop-up pub in the Thames Valley next weekend for those who won't now be travelling by train. 'The Rail Replacement'. No dogs. No cycles. And a slow route to the bar. And no restaurant, not even a buffet.

So would the "Craven Arms" and the "Bat and Ball" ;D ... are there any others where stations are named after pubs?

Elephant & Castle. Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: John R on October 09, 2017, 19:31:35 There are a couple of pubs called Montpelier.
Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: Chris from Nailsea on October 11, 2017, 00:21:33 ... are there any others where stations are named after pubs? Yes. Trouble House Halt - on the Tetbury branch line between Kemble and Tetbury. ;) :D ;D Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: Bmblbzzz on October 11, 2017, 09:23:26 You might wonder about the clientele of a pub called Trouble House!
Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: broadgage on October 11, 2017, 17:20:00 Nunhead station in London is named after the area in which it is situated, however it is said that the area is named after the Nuns Head pub. That is the pub name predates the name of the area. So the station is named for the pub, albeit indirectly.
(named after the beheading of a number of nuns in some old religious war) Title: Re: Pub names from railway signs Post by: broadgage on October 15, 2017, 00:02:22 How about a pop-up pub in the Thames Valley next weekend for those who won't now be travelling by train. 'The Rail Replacement'. No dogs. No cycles. And a slow route to the bar. Well they have made a start ! At Paddington a pop up pub appeared a few years ago, near the barrier line. It certainly looks like some kind of porta-hut rather than a permanent structure.
