Still quicker than me Mind you, I fully expect to get those Camp Hill line stations done quickly when they open!

Quicker than me, too, just watch them sneak Portway Park & Ride into service when I’m on holiday (that’s my 2024 holiday!)

That sort of thing wouldn't surprise me! I was in Devon recently, and passed through Marsh Barton 3 times. They could have opened it a bit sooner than 4th July! Still, a good excuse to go back some time, should be easy to combine with walking expeditions or a revisit to Okehampton.

Portway P&R I'm not sure how I'm going to fit in, but there will be a genius idea pop up soon!

I'm sure you can cycle there.

Oh no doubt. It's all about planning in a combination of station visiting with walking/cycling missions as well as potential red pen options. Kenilworth now features both walking/cycling options as well as red penning with 196s. Which means it's now much more appealing to finally go and do!

Thank-you! I’ve just about reached the stage where all the low-hanging fruit is either in the bag or so annoyingly isolated from anything else I still need that summoning up the Will to pick it is hard (Pewsey, I’m looking at you!). Breaking the back of some near virgin territory this weekend, so watch this space!

At long last! That one has been a frustrating gap for years, and clears Manchester to Exeter (amongst other destinations) via all sensible routes. It would be Plymouth, but Marsh Barton's opening ruined that
