Ah, Chorlton, I remember it... makes me feel quite homesick!

What? You too A? Are you talking about Chorlton-cum-Hardy? As immortalised in Flanders and Swann's Slow Train?
'Slow Train'
by Flanders & Swann
(from: 'At the Drop of Another Hat')
Millers Dale for Tideswell
Kirby Muxloe
Mow Cop and Scholar GreenNo more will I go to Blandford Forum and Mortehoe,
On the slow train from Midsummer Norton and Mumby Road,
No churns, no porter,
No cat on a seat,
At Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Chester-le-Street
We won't be meeting again on the slow train.
I'll travel no more from Littleton Badsey to Openshaw,
At Long Stanton I'll stand well clear of the doors no more,
No whitewashed pebbles,
No up and no down,
From Formby Four Crosses to Dunstable Town,
I won't be going again on the slow train.
On the main line and the goods siding,
The grass grows high,
At Dog Dyke, Tumby Woodside, and Troublehouse Halt.
The sleepers sleep at Audlem and Ambergate,
No passenger waits on Chittening platform or Cheslyn Hay,
No-one departs, no-one arrives,
From Selby to Goole,
From St. Erth to St. Ives,
They all passed out of our lives,
On the slow train,
On the slow train.
Cockermouth for ButtermereOn the slow train.

Pye Hill and SomercotesOn the slow train.
