Today I met someone who'd never heard of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllllantysiliog ogoch and also said it didn't exist! Well, it does exist. It's on Anglesey, North Wales 2 miles South of Menai Bridge and 5 miles west of Bangor. It's known as LlanfairPG to many, but just Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllllantysiliog ogoch to me :)

I thought this was some nooby spamer at first! But I've never been before. Apparently , the board saying the station name at the train station is the length of the whole platform

It's 1/4 the size of the platfrom actualy, the platform is pretty long because Virgin trains pass through that station and there's often 6-8 coaches per train.

There's not supposed to be a space between the thingy. It's cos the word is so long it breaks the limit of how many letter per word!

e.g.

dsachbdsacdschjkbhjkbhjdsabcjkahsdbcjkhachasdchsad hdsahdsahjkfdhjdsafdsafjklsajdfljsahdfkljhsadfadsf sadf

See the breaks?

They do during the day :p, They stop at a certain time, because i had to catch a Coach from Landudno Junction at about 23:00 pm to Holyhead to catch the Ulyesses [Sp]

Well when I go from Bangor to Holyhead it's always ATW during the day! Virgin trains to go beyond Bangor but in the NW transport timetables it says no Virgin trains during the winter going beyond Bangor to Holyhead or even the Junction for that matter!

It's a bit silly then :p, One time, during August, i caught ATW from Crewe to holyhead, this old man kept playing with the toilet door, opening it and closing it, Made me laugh xD.

Also, to your point about VT not going to Holyhead, It was like the first week in november, i came back from dublin and the Virgin pendo pulled into Holyhead with passengers? Went back out again too...
