OLD OAK COMMON (n.) A sprawling stagecoach stop with neither oaks nor common land, hopefully becoming a station when William VI ascends to the throne.

In my LAS days, I once had to attend a body that had been run over by a train at Old Oak Common. Fortunately, the train was relatively slow moving, so there were only two pieces. (Probable suicide)
Cheers Pete.
