Well, that doesn't sound like Sir John Betjeman, who went to Highgate School ... and Bernard Jenkin MP sn't old enough ...
What about Charles Clarke (former Home Secretary), who presumably leads us to Norwich (Thorpe)?
(I think we can include "Thorpe" as Mr. Clarke is a Labour politician - the mere mention of the word might still give Liberals apoplexy!)

As a schoolboy I used to go to Pontypool Road in the weeks before Christmas to spot very rare (in this part of the world) Class 40 'Whistlers' on a goods special from Guide Bridge.
Which takes us to Newport (High Street)

I fear that any mention of "Wicker" draws us irresistibly to Southwest Scotland and, in particular, the Portpatrick & Wigtownshire Railway. There is a choice of location so why not choose Gatehouse of Fleet? - that gives me a chance to use up those pesky tartan chips that have been cluttering up the drawer ever since Alex Salmond announced the Independence Referendum.

This is clearly getting silly - but I am afraid I am inevitably tempted by Eye - change at Mellis for stations to Liverpool Street.
On the other hand, you can still catch a train at Lye - something you haven't been able to do at Eye since (I think) the 1930s!

On the 7th of the month? Very dubious...
We'll get back on the ground at
Rhoose Cardiff International Airport
which for better or worse is now the longest official station name in the UK!

Ah. Now that's interesting. I, the blue chips having been cached in, in order to avoid putting the eastern half of the network in Nidd, Zone 1 being currently +5 THAC0, notwithstanding the Dronfield Convention rules about passing loops, Goodge Street, once again, as is my wont, will play.*

Well, at least no-one went to Wye!
The Italian connection was going to draw us to Clerkenwell - nearest station Farringdon.
However, the unpronounceable Welsh name has scuppered all that: the best we can do now is Roman Bridge on the Ffestiniog branch.
By the way, everything west of Holyhead is now in Spoon (not to mention submerged).

Shame on you, as a good chapel boy. "Hlan-vire uhm mee-alht" isn't unpronounceable at all.
"Ty'n y caeau" is more of a bugger, but there's no station there.
Which reminds me, the next BBC weatherman to mangle "Capel Curig" wins a wooden spoon around the back of the head.

It's not so much a case of trying to get there as trying not to.
So. I could play Euston or even, at a pinch, High Street Kensington. But both would essentially boil down to coming en guard in quarte, with the obvious downside.
Hence, Dollis Hill
