Is that allowed under Covid rules? That nice Ms Sturgeon could get nasty!
There is that, but since I'm physically located in Scotland, mentally I wasn't leaving the country & therefore breaking border restrictions. Southport however will get you out of that loop.
Which means I can get to Birmingham New Street without having to go all the way round through Norwich, Colchester, Gravesend, etc, etc (you get the picture).
Yes, but the cancellation last year opens up an automatic free carry over to any open diagonal. Same also applies to the cancelled Queens Club from last year, so immediate return to
And if you desperately need to feed some ducks, there's always Leazes Park next door. Which is much closer than Birkenhead Park which is where I was going to send you before I realized we were talking about Newcastle and not Liverpool.

That's because I think of it as Abergwaun as that's what the signs and locals called it when I walked-ish the Pembrokeshire Coast Path a few years back. And to get between there and Pwllheli you have to change at Dovey (Dyfi) Junction, or as they prefer Machynlleth, because there is big fat zero at Dovey. Good for bird spotting though.
Well, you don't always need to change at Machynlleth. But you do need to change at Carmarthen (Caerfyrddin) and Shrewsbury. Oh for the Manchester and Milford Railway!

Better to go to Southport (Lord Street).

Anyhow, enough of that, and off to Moor Park.
Manchester Picadilly
Three Green Chips at Oxford Road, but of course only for the next two rubbers.
Oxford Circus and all transverse diagonals and shunts in or through it are of course in Nidd.
I think I'll have a croissant - oo-er.
Down Street
This should avoid the Dollis Hill Loop.
Reverse shunt there - about 120 years.
Hammersmith
Knightsbridge
Barons Court
One hesitates to ask what you did to get stuck in Nidd for two weeks....
Meanwhile, Oakham is a-calling. With its level crossing.
Meanwhile we'll go south to Carshalton Beeches.

Whitstable. Bring your own lunch.
Alternatively, you could (once) catch the "Crab & Winkle" to Brightlingsea.
Someone had to, and it happened to be me. Sorry about that.
