A Guinness World Record? Because there are no trains or buses from Fishguard to Saundersfoot.

It's a lovely evening though, and you eat some fish and chips by the Ocean Lab.

Great Northern
Midland Metro (or something)

None of them are correct (though Crosscountry is correct but Great Northern is an open access operator on the East Coast Main Line, but Northern is correct as well, just it isn't that colour.

And say get a Northern line service direct to Mill Hill East via the Kennington loop (but from Euston instead)!
