According to Jenna ( http://jennapetersen.vo...
This is a real sign at a real train station in a real town in Wales. What I like best is the phonetic pronunciation. When a word reaches 58 letters, there's no amount of help in English or any language that's going to help you there. The English translation is: St. Mary's Church of the White Hazel Near to the Whirlpool of Llantisilig of the Red Cave.Who knew the Welsh had such long names for a train station?

 | Valmort says:The long form of the name is the longest officially recognised place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest in the world, being 58 letters in length (51 letters in the Welsh alphabet, where "ch" and "ll" count as single letters). The name is Welsh for "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave".
