The Volks Electric Railway is worth a bash. In three conferences, the only loco I saw at Brighton was 09026. If its the PCS conference you're going to, there used to be a Cuban Salsa night event, with cheap rum provided by the brothers and sisters from the Caribbean - well worth going to...

That's right.

I understand your thinking. Unfortunately, until you mentioned him I had not heard of the wrestler in question. Therefore without a Tardis I couldn't have used him as a source for this clue. Talking of which, Six Foot Two Eyes Are Blue, Inchy may be appropriate at this point.

Not James Street.

Nope.

Presumably not a see-thru tee shirt with tassels, then...

Quite fun at 47, actually... Anyway, threads of this nature always produce a cleavage of opinion between well- rounded individuals and those crushed by the corsetage of neo-Victorianism.

The original post clarifies this - the train may not pass over the same piece of track IN THE SAME DIRECTION. So the Fife Circle would seem to be OK. There's probably extra scope for Kentish looping if Thanet can be circumnavigated widdershins as well as clockwise!

Giggleswick?

Yes, and the original post asked for the longest route a train (not a passenger) could take from KGX to EDI. Which implies that an actual piece of track would be required to make a link...

Loop round Kent? How about Leicester/Burton - Blackfriars - London Bridge - Greenwich - Slade Green - Bexley - Lee - Grove Park - Tonbridge - Folkestone - Ramsgate - Gillingham - Beckenham Jc - Crystal Palace - Wandsworth Common - Olympia... Just before reaching Edinburgh, a spin round the...

Intriguing. As you can cover the same track in opposite directions this opens up many possibilities. I've started KGX, Hertford North, Ely, Leicester, Bedford, Bletchley, Willesden Jc, Stratford, Ipswich, Cambridge, Tottenham Hale, Stratford...

The Earl of Derby? I think the Lordhip of Mann was one of the spoils gained by the Stanley family as a result of their "join in on the winning side at the last minute" policy during the Wars of the Roses...

As I can recall the smear campaign by Altrincham in summer 1980, I am delighted by today's results... And if Aldershot Town implode financially to the extent that they do a Chester/Darlington, Stockport may yet retain their position in the BSP.

I was actually thinking of Richard De La Pole, nephew of the bloke in my avatar and Yorkist claimant to the throne of England between 1513 and 1525. However having googled Ms Litvyak its clear that she's also the correct answer! Your go...

The answer I'm looking for is a person (I did ask who WAS, not who WERE...)

In history, who was nicknamed The White Rose?

Lancashire Youth Cup Final. Rochdale 5 v 0 Wigan Athletic. If these young lads keep developing as they have been, we'll have a decent team in a year or two...

Messrs Flanagan and Hales of Charlton sent off for fighting each other?
