A real smorgasbord of transport, which included a train, metro, flight, bus and a coach. I travel for 9 hours from Troon, Ayrshire, to the other Troon, but I won't ruin the surprise. Needless to say the Scottish Troon is much better!

As a resident of Troon (the Scottish one) I was most surprised when you got off the plane at Charleroi as I was convinced you’d be going to Troon, a village near Camborne in Cornwall. I never knew there was a third Troon in Belgium. It might be worth doing a Troon Triangle! By the way, did you notice that half our railway station was missing? The buildings on the northbound platform were destroyed by fire a couple of years ago. They’ve got the go ahead to be rebuilt in a style sympathetic with what was there before but suitable for the accessibility we demand of the modern age.

A double-o in the relevant local language is pronounced to rhyme with "dough", not "through", and "Troon" is a homophone for "Trône" in the other official language of that city. It means "throne", as the station is at the Place du Trône / Troonplein - the area being so named because it is next to the Royal Palace.
