Then there was one.   I would have guessed that was going to be the most difficult on the quiz (but then I'm often surprised by how quickly the hard ones go).

Lison! I was getting annoyed by that one, since there is enough evidence it was on the way to Cherbourg. I just "rechecked" Lison, being sure I'd already done it as the most obvious place to change on a direct cross-country route from Perpignan (in the sense of avoiding Paris).  I must have assumed that you would not have doubled back via Caen - but then again, why wouldn't you?

You are correct - Lison.    And I did not double back - I travelled Paris to Caen in the evening, early train to Lison the next morning that was headed - I think - onto that cross-country route and dropped back onto the Cherbourg train.   You may well ask "why"?  Wink
