But haven't you forgotten to balance that with the Hopkinson-Smythe Daylight Saving (1942) Directive which, as you may recall, was challenged in the High Court, however the case was never completed due to the Judge's fear of centipedes? Blake Hall.
Objection, m'lady: there actually isn't a station called Colchester North, although everyone calls it that. Better go to St. Botolph's, for some retro shopping at Gunton's.
But are you allowed to cross the Pennines now that the Woodhead Route is closed? Might be safer to stay on the east side and go to South Gyle. Just beware of rutting haggaii - they're particularly randy at this time of year.
You are extremely lucky: "PICCADILLY LINE: From about 00:01 on Saturday 25, and all day Sunday 26 and Bank Holiday Monday 27 May, no service between Hammersmith and Heathrow (all terminals) / Uxbridge due to track replacement work." We'll just bide a wee while at Cowcaddens, that should be well out of the way.
PS I've never actually been to Gunton's - will the Factory Shop at Tiptree do?

Absolutely - it's a must-do every time we're over!

As it's not a Bank Holiday weekend in Scotland (correct me if I'm wrong), a transverse shunt to Burntisland should be safe enough, and will give me a nice little dose of nostalgia, reminding me of travelling to Edinburgh for weekends when I was a student in Aberdeen.
Seeing as you have suggested Aberdeen, then let's visit Stonehaven to visit Dunnottar Castle for the bank holiday weekend and enjoy the delights of Stonehaven, as seen on the Haggis Hunt video coverage.
As I mentioned when I last took us there, I'm not sure it is supposed to have an apostrophe.
did you get it from the grocer's, or perhaps Shepherd's Bush Market ?
Oh, Shepherd’s Bush – world’s best English breakfast, assuming that greasy spoon caff is still there. We’ll be needing to walk some of those calories off after.

I think I'm close, but not close enough at the moment. I must have dropped a blue token at some point and they're hard to spot on this carpet.

Given that they count double South of the River, Brixton.

(I'd have gone for Dagenham East, but there's no wheelchair access.)
Colchester North
* I appreciate that not everyone will agree with him ...
However, I digress. Have you really got another bank holiday so soon? I've got lots of blue tokens, so assuming the Piccadilly Line isn't in Nidd,
Knightsbridge

Ah, the joys of a student rail-card!

And I get some bonus tokens - though I'll need to wait a day to turn them the right way up to be able to use them

Can we all calm down, recalibrate our sundials, and assemble in an orderly fashion at Victoria .
Thank you.
Dammit - now I've used up all my green counters.
How did I miss the chance to visit my sister!
Now just to keep in the play I will have to choose Norwich Victoria which gives others a chance to play the Dame Julian Gambit

Hope that Wood Lane isn't the end of the line.
