When Melbourne's new underground railway is finally completed in 2026, one question must be asked: is there a chance the track could bend?

Around 28,000 suggestions have already been lodged in the first month of the competition to name Melbourne's five newest underground stops.

And it seems Melburnians with a chance to name a train station is like the mule with a spinning wheel: no one knows how they got it and danged if they know how to use it.

After author George R.R. Martin gave his thumbs up to a Game of Thrones station earlier this month, people are now taking ideas from another piece of pop culture: the all-time classic Simpsons episode Marge vs. the Monorail.
