Only 3!

5 if you stretch a point and include Finchley Road (which on uk.r we
understand as 'nowhere near' and Finchley Road & Frognal.

There are 5 Ealings:
South, West, North, Broadway, and Common.

Finchley is not Finchley Road.
Finchley Road & Frognal *is* quite a way from Finchley Road LUL.

Edgware is not Edgware Road.

Hampstead has quite a few stations:

Hampstead
Hampstead Heath
West Hampstead x 3 (Thameslink. Silverlink, Jubilee)
South Hampstead

I don't suppose that Finchley Road x 2 Belsize Park and Swiss Cottage
'count'...

and if you include Sudbury, Suffolk(?)

Why the question mark? There is a Sudbury in Suffolk (I was there over the
weekend), and it has a station. But it's nowhere near the other Sudbury
with lots of stations. There's also a Sudbury in Derbyshire, but that
doesn't have a station. It does have a prison, though.

I grew up in Ashford. A postcard sent to me went via (IIRC) six others
before reaching me, because it didn't have a postcode or county given in
the address.

I don't think it would have taken a great deal to figure out which one it
was for first time, though, because it was from the library in Bakewell,
three miles away, and had "Derbyshire Libraries" in big letters on it.

Sudbury in Staffordshire did have a station until after nationalisation.

Is there another town of a similar size to Ruislip that has more named
stations?


Indeed there is, and not a million miles from Ruislip:

North Acton
South Acton
East Acton
West Acton
Acton Town
Acton Central
Acton Main Line

Any advance on seven?

Eight, if you include the late Sir Harold Acton.

Presumably because Graham wasn't sure if it's in Suffolk or Essex.

Somebody needs to look at a map - and I just have...

There's definitely a boundary on Streetmap between Uttoxeter and Sudbury.

Tricksy things, free-range county boundaries,
