That's just cheeky

I'm going to bring us to my adopted home of Bath (Spa). Why? Because Köln in English is Cologne, and "bath" and "cologne" are both words that we would associate with human hygiene...

Hey! Has this post just been ignored, or something?

Walsall, another busy station in the Midlands

I wouldn't necessarily call it busy on Wolves' level, but from there we will head to Blackburn, also a town with a population over 100,000, no direct train to London, and not the station closest to the town's football ground (Bescot Stadium and Mill Hill (Lancs) respectively).
