Reading the list, I wondered at the lack of Z. Then they turned up at the end. Then I realised why!

Pedant's corner ...
"Football club in top 5 divisions of men's game: YORK CITY"
York City were relegated from the Football League at the end of the 2015-16 season and there are plenty of non-league clubs that would be listed alphabetically after them (anoraks may enjoy this).
Whole number ...
I would enjoy "Zillion" being on the list, but it's probably not strictly correct.

Like Malcom, I too didn't realise the answers were in alphabetical order until I reached Zagreb.

The last Angel Delight in the alphabet is information I never knew I needed until today!

I have an atlas that refers to the sea between Australia and Antarctica as the Southern Ocean. Have they changed the name? The atlas is quite old.

The Southern Ocean (or Antarctic Ocean) is recognised by some as the 5th ocean. Since 2021 National Geographic has recognised it, and I think that's common enough to be on the list.

Sadly, Ystrad Rhondda station is currently closed - due to seemingly-interminable electrification works. I took the bus replacement service there to Ystrad village last month. I wonder what the next-most ultimate station would be. (Nearby Ynys Wen station is also currently closed for that matter!)...

Yeah Wikipedia lists it as the Southern Ocean.

I see you don't count Carl Theodor Zahle, prime minister of Denmark 1909-1910, in the list :)
Same goes for the MPs.

I wonder how many of these used to have a different answer, eg EU Member state, Tube station, Angel Delight (according to Wikipedia).

The Southern Ocean is last alphabetically.

Last street in Greater London? Think it's Zofany St.
Which would have been last on your list too.

Ystrad Rhondda station remains open; it has no trains calling at present. As you know, trains are replaced by buses stopping nearby. Trains are due to resume on Monday 12th February 2024.
The last station alphabetically with trains is Ystrad Mynach

A zeptometer is the SI unit of 10^-21m and a zettameter is 10^21m, or 10^42 zeptometers.
