Keeping with the 'double' theme - but veering away from the rails - there is a noted medical doctor living in Adelaide whose christian and surname are the same.
His name is ... David David.

Where's the Mooney Mooney railway station? |
If you read the first post properly. It's not all about railway stations!

What about other people, places and things? |

And what is his middle name or initial?
One size fits all?
_ Railway gauge _ _ _ _ : Mostly YES; Almost always 1435mm _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ : except sugar cane trams, rocket launch pads, telescopes.
_ _ Shoe/hat/ ring sizes: NO_ _ _ _ _ .
May use SUW 2000 VGA to bridge break-of-gauge.

Eisenhower had a driver assigned to him.
Eisenhower: What's your name, driver?
WREN: Jennifer! Sir.
Eisenhower: That's a bit to personal, what's your last name?
WREN: Darling. Jennifer Darling. Sir.
Eisenhower: I think that I had better call you Jenny.
PS. There was a governor of NSW called Darling, after whom Darling Harbour and the Darling River were called.

The station were called North Kurri Kurri and Kurri Road.
SMR30, from how you describe, you have seen the first of the two mentioned locations.
I didn't come here looking for trouble, I just came to do the RP shuffle... break it down...
