Longest Rly Stn name in Britain & Longest Domain name

I stumbled upon this topic while in a bookshop in Bath, browsing a book of photos from Wales (mostly, pretty scenic).. It had a pic of the railway station with the longest name in Britain...

It's the Longest official placename in UK and the third-longest in the world. .
>> Its meaning in Welsh language...

Basically, it's about making a fool of the public! :) - just a contrived tourist marketing plan !
