May I put in a bid to travel from REDruth to SQUires Gate?  Squirrel's Gate would have been better, of course.

And STUrry to INVergowrie?

I thought that sounded more obscure and difficult, but it turns out to be quicker (just) despite being further and needing more changes in most cases. It also costs exactly the same (lowest cost standard single). And you get to ride on one of those whizzy new(ish) class 395s.

..and here is a 395 going through Sturry  (Taken on one of my All Line Rover trips in July 2014)

I don't think there are any codes that can be derived directly from my username, but my initials, PDW, take me to Paddock Wood. This is very appropriate as, apparently, Philip is a 'lover of horses', whilst Wakely is a 'marshy field'  Cheesy Cool

If you want to take my username you'll end up in Roby. My initials send me to Rugeley Town.

As a bonus, my fiancé will be travelling from Chorleywood to Clacton-on-Sea this coming weekend.

...and an opportune moment for us to offer our collective congratulations on your forthcoming nuptials.
