Someone with clearly too much time on their hands. Very clever though.

Looking at the line between Busy Liars and Divested Extras, it'd be nice if the station at No Rich Adjunct could reopen, perhaps with a light rail branch to Want Chord.

Part of SWR» (South Western Railway - about) though .. not really TransWilts.   

I could suggest running our loop from My Rose via Eagle Shit to On the rampant locust ... and that could end Awfley in the future - but I think that would be Awfley good!

I've spotted a couple of errors that suggest that the process was computer assisted, perhaps to a high degree. With Yak Tram for Marks Tey, and Dr. of Rock for Rochford, it looks as if the names were keyed in - with some typos - as the first step. It would then not be difficult to do a search for words (and perhaps names too) in the letter collections that produces, from which to pick solutions. At least that would do the bulk of them, allowing a bit of human creativity for those with no good choices or where someone spotted a particularly good one. I hope that spoils noone's illusions!

The next time I go to the station previously known as Bourne End, I will try to avoid all CCTV (Closed Circuit Tele Vision). Wink
