Sewardstone
First to 100000 in the 2015+ Tumbleweed contest. Winner of a few rounds of a diverse range of quizzes/games. Some decent times in alternative challenges as a fiftysomething who merely walks briskly. Briefly led All The Actons.

Correct! (Although maybe I should have included the hamlet of Sewardstonebury as well.)

In similar vein, who got to Number 2 in the UK charts in 1956 and number 18 in the Albanian charts in 2002?

Re: Dastardly difficult trivia quiz
My favourite trivia fact... Only five people have won an Oscar (for acting) and performed on a UK number one single: Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Cher, Nicole Kidman and Lee Marvin.

Re: Dastardly difficult trivia quiz
I don't think you have to visit any station twice? It may involve some implausible runs, but there is always a theoretical alternative to doubling back. Eg you could start Amersham - Chalfont - Chesham - run to Chorleywood to avoid passing through Chalfont a second time.

Re: Dastardly difficult trivia quiz
I was thinking Chalfont would have to be visited twice (in order for Chesham and Amersham to count) but you're right, it would be possible to catch a bus from Amersham to Watford!
