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.

Main Street Square
Bell
Downtown Transit Center
McGowen
Ensemble/HCC
Wheeler
Museum District
Hermann Park/Rice U
Memorial Hermann Hospital/Houston Zoo
Dryden/TMC

In order from north to south. Yes, Houston's light rail is one-dimensional.

I had no idea Houston even had a light rail system.

Oh yes. It's new as of last year, and it's already breaking records!...unfortunately, in crashes and fatalities, because it's at street level, signage is inadequate, and Houston drivers suck. It's been nicknamed "A Streetcar Named Disaster."

Still, for going between Rice and downtown, it sure beats driving.
