In this eclectic mix, all have in common?

Bonus question:

Onto what are the places carved?
 
All of them are towns where white people lived in happiness before mass immigration made their lives worse.
 
a simple right click on my touchpad, selecting Google Lens reveals all ....
 
Want to say it’s something to do with cross channel travel. All the UK locations are down in Kent, so headed that way. Lausanne wasn’t in the wars
Trains/places you used to be able to get to from Victoria station

You are definitely on the right (but wrong) line :D

PS Change station.

PPS The station in question has a unique oddity about it.
 
Assuming London, that leaves Charing Cross, Blackfriars, London Bridge or Waterloo (east). That does narrow it down ;)

London Bridge isn’t a terminus. (Arguably, neither is Waterloo East, but Waterloo is)
 
The obvious oddity would be Blackfriars being a station on the river, but other oddities may be available

Good enough.

It is the only London station to have an entrance north and south of the river.

The picture of the opening post, lists the many towns and cities, all once served from Blackfriars station. It just caught my imagination of getting on a train at Blackfriars and arriving (eventually) at, say, St Petersburg.

They made a very good job of the redevelopment of the station, all as a part of the large Thameslink project.

Well, thank goodness that is settled. I thought it was every Greggs you’d scoffed a sausage roll and like a notch on your bed post, carved the place names underside your bed base so mum wouldn’t see.

I love shit like that!
Came across this yesterday…
https://www.londonunderground.live/index.html - the smudges are real time, and the map is zoomable…

Thank you.

I like the interactive map, you found. It emphasises how clear the London Underground maps are, with no attempt to draw the lines as they really run. Simplicity, itself.

PS I learned that the original plan was to take the Metropolitan line out as far as Northampton. But, they ran out of money…. And along came the motorcar.

There is another oddity… no I did not know any of the oddities or indeed have ever been to the station itself. However as other have done, Google lens has unearth the details.
