One question, Jack. Apr 14, 2002

Does anybody utter the word? Do they have a nickname for the station?

In memoriam
Welsh railway station Apr 14, 2002

I believe the Welsh are capable of pronouncing this word (the English aren\'t!) but they usually abbreviate it to \"Llanfair PG\". (Lots of hits for LLanfair PG on Google).
