The new(ish) Metro line from the new IST airport is better than the drive but the interchange at Gayrettepe is quite the schlep

 Totnes – Exeter St Davids – Penzance
Devonport (Albert Road)St Budeaux [p1], St Budeaux [p3]Devonport Dockyard (if platform 3 at Liskeard is part of the same station despite being across a road, then the same is the case at St Budeaux Ferry Road and St Budeaux Victoria Road).
And with that, I have had every station in the Plymouth metropolitan area except for Keyham (and Ivybridge if you'd consider that part of Plymouth's sphere of influence – it's sort of on the edge).

The Germans say there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. I was very badly clothed as it was utterly freezing. My plan was to do more..a warm hotel room was much more appealing TBH. Another time...

This month, I had a couple of day trips to Manchester and so did the Glossop line (including Ardwick's only Saturday train) and then got the bus to do Denton and Reddish South:

Hadfield, Dinting, Glossop, Guide Bridge, Hyde North, Flowery Field, Newton For Hyde, Godley, Broadbottom, Hattersley, Denton, Ashburys, Ardwick and Reddish South

then I came back to do the Ribble Valley line:

Entwistle, Darwen, Bromley Cross, Hall I' Th' Wood, Salford Central and Bolton

And finally had a work trip to London so did Old Street and Essex Road.

Total now: 533

Not quite the day I planned, some disruption and frankly it was far too cold after a few hours out. A shame as the Glasgow railway network is fascinating to explore
