William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

I'm pretty sure you can't make Par from Golf Street to Denham Golf Club though.

Would anyone care to arrange at least four of the Newtons on a valid route?  Wink Cheesy Grin

Off the top of my head, haven't checked this one, but I reckon you could travel from Newton St Cyres through Newton Abbot, then up through Birmingham and Manchester on your way to Newton (Lanarks), making a small detour and taking in Newton le Willows on the way north.

Newton St Cyres to Newton Abbot would be invalid.

Newton St Cyres is north of Exeter St Davids, on the Barnstaple line, so going to Newton Abbot would be the wrong direction!

Newtown (Powys) is not permitted, under the Tudor Court Rules.  Wink

If we are playing Tudor Court Rules, surely Newton Abbot is out of bounds due to plague?

Fudge. You are of course correct. For some reason in my sleep-deprived state last night I had it in my head that Newton St Cyres was on the Gunnislake branch. No idea why.
