With Preston to Crewe coming tomorrow and now the possibility of doing a Carlisle to London journey, it’s got me thinking of ideas of continued journeys on from Euston (basically any of the other routes starting with a London terminus are fair game, or ones which crossover with WCMLS such as Bakerloo or Mildmay). Think my first one will be Eastbourne to Carlisle using East Coastway, BML, a virtual stroll to Euston and then the WCML routes up to Carlisle. As a side note, thinking about this has made me want Carlisle to Glasgow more than ever so we could get as far as Markinch!
I was thinking of going Redditch to Birmingham New Street in BCC, then BNS to Crewe. Crewe to Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes to London Euston. London Victoria to Brighton. Brighton to Eastbourne. It basically encompasses all my favourite routes, even if it's not particularly long.
On a more expanded theme, if you own one of the flight sims nothing to stop you role playing to the nearest airfield and hopping in a Cessna to bridge the missing sections! WRT Eastbourne to Carlisle, to minimise the imagined walking distance, you could hop on the Bakerloo at Embankment and alight at Baker Street!
That’s a great shout! Thought there might be something on Bakerloo to cover some of Victoria to Euston but my knowledge of central London geography is minimal at best.
Reddish to new street, new street to Crewe, Crewe to Preston Preston to Carlisle, Carlisle back to Euston, Paddington to reading, virtual hop to Exeter then on to Plymouth. Virtual hop to st Austell the ending in Penzance for virtual pasty.
Another idea - Tonbridge to Strood on Medway, Strood to St Pancras on SEHS, very short walk to Euston and then WCMLs up to Carlisle.
When I get a day to myself I'm doing: Reading to Paddington Paddington to Queens Park Queens Park to Watford Junction Watford Junction to Milton Keynes Milton Keynes to Lichfield Trent Valley Lichfield Trent Valley to Birmingham New Street Birmingham New Street to Crewe Crewe to Preston Preston to Carlisle
