I’m amazed and delighted that there are direct trains to Liverpool from Norwich.

I've been on that train many times, getting on or off at Ely. Takes quite a circuitous route via Peterborough, Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester and with rather a lot of stops including some places in Notts (Bottesford and Aslockton?) that didn't seem very busy.

Used to go to Aberystwyth as well, once upon a time. Don't forget the lime juice and hard tack.

I miss Aberystwyth. I had the most Welsh meal ever made there once, lamb and leeks. It was glorious.

I did parkrun in Aberystwyth a few years ago (5 repeats of a there and back IIRC). Son and his friend who were 15 or so went to a local establishment for a cooked breakfast. "On your own, lads?" asked the waitress. "Yes, my dad is on the run", explained idiot son.
The waitress burst out laughing when I turned up in running gear half an hour later, having assumed that I was a wanted criminal.
