Okay, I'm still lost. (it's basically not the word, but the reference to the station that imputs "Black out!") -------------

The station name has no bearing on the matter, Rico. It could be Piccadilly, Bolton, Swansea, Didcot or any other UK station... It's what is written on the sign that matters! Actually, if it was at Fingringhoe, that would be even funnier! -------------

no,you watch better my words, when I say I DO KNOW WHAT SUCKED OFF MEANS, just the context of the sign is still blurry. -------------

ok, it means sucked off the platform edge. The train creates a slight vacuum as it passes through the station at speed. bloody hell!! This thread has caused me all sorts of trouble,wish I hadnt bothered...

It's in the Lake District in Northern England. I thought it was somewhere in Wales and had to search for it on the Internet.  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

Was confused for a second...
There's a Penrith in the outer western suburbs of Sydney, Aust. I actually grew up near there, thought i was lucky for a moment...
Even the station sign of the town looks similiar...
