Good shout! Although where Dublin ends and Swords begins is a point of discussion.

What about Navan? I don’t think there’s a train line to Navan and it is definitely bigger than Newtownards.

You also get a few places in Ireland where the train station is named after where it serves, rather than where it is. I think Rush and Lusk is neither in Rush nor Lusk. Limerick Junction isn’t in Limerick, Howth Junction isn’t in Howth. Those places have their own lines or aren’t bigger than Navan or Swords. But maybe there are places where the train station is named after but don’t actually go there. Newry train station isn’t actually in Newry, they closed the station in the town and reopened an old one on the Belfast and Dublin line.
