Speaking of random...

[randomness]

...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.

Are you willing to accept Hauptbahnhof?

Absolutely, although I really want not to include S-Bahn stations.

Thanks for the suggestion! Which systems are you thinking of? I want to include Wuppertal, just because it's really cool.

I get this total Zippy urge: "WUPPERTALER SCHWEBEBAHN! WUPPERTALER SCHWEBEBAHN! WUPPERTALER SCHWEBEBAHN!"

Frankfurt, Nürnberg and München also have a Hauptbahnhof.

Yay, Zippy! :)

I really like the Schwebebahn.

Frankfurt, Nürnberg and München also have a Hauptbahnhof.

Yes, but see other comments. :(

Annoyingly, Hamburg's U2 and U3 appear to go to "Hauptbahnhof Nord" and "Hauptbahnhof Sud", respectively. Berlin's U55 isn't completed yet, and in any case the station name appears to be "Hauptbahnhof Lehrter Bahnhof", which means I can't connect them to Wuppertal "Hauptbahnhof". However, Nürnberg looks promising...

Gah, looks like Nürnberg's is "Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof". And Wuppertal's is "Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof".

German precision. Feh.
