Places of note along the iron road
19 places along the line, and everything you can catch from each one: 20 stations, 120 bus stops and 10 piers. In the order you would travel it, Waterloo outwards.
The terminus everyone means when they say they are going into town.
A bus station, a nightclub, and eight lanes of one-way traffic.

A one-way system with a brewery attached.
Where rowers gather to block the pavements on Saturdays.
Two stations, a pond, and strong opinions about parking.
Where the Boat Race ends and the brewery smell begins.
Sheen, but north. Mostly a level crossing with ambitions.
Famed for deer, expensive coffee, and an elusive pier.
Very pretty, rather quiet, mostly inhabited by film crews.
Home of rugby, and remarkable optimism about SWR service.
A high street, a footbridge, and no particular hurry.

Blink and you will pass the pub with the lovely canal view.
Syon Lane lives here, under a name nobody local uses.
Canals, a football ground, and the Golden Mile.
A park, a cemetery, and the station signed Kew Bridge.
Riverside pubs, and the price tags that come with them.
