...I've been working on a list of stations which share the same names in different metro/subway systems. It's tedious work finding them. I figured I'd see if anyone else on the net shared one of my quirky interests and could help out.

The Mornington Crescent intersystem quick reference, a work in progress.

Feel free to pass this to anyone you think interested in transit systems or Mornington Crescent.

Yes, I had that conversation with [livejournal.com profile] bryant long long ago--maybe it was a related conversation? He came up with an elaboration: street names with the same name would connect, too.

Main Street becomes a very popular roadway. As does Zhongshan Lu. :)

To tie the two threads together, [livejournal.com profile] dirque once said that subways could be thought of as teleportation devices which took a finite amount of time to transfer you from place to place.

Finite and non-zero, that is. Accompanied by a lot of rumbling and shaking. :)
