So Peterborough East can stay, then... Would I, likely, be lynched for raising a possible alternative means of getting the desired result: carrying on southward from Peterborough North, then at Fletton Junction taking the south-to-west connecting line which joins Peterborough East -- Northampton, a little way westward along its route :E ?

Indeed yes - at least, I would have thought so - or rather no - I wouldn't lynch you because that seems like a valid alternative


Whilst we wait for the next journey I am going to explore the Hendre-ddu tramway (I got off the train at Aberangell)
