Hi,
Recall one summer holidays heading down from Stockport to stay with friends of the parents for a week or so in Dover, I can't recall exactly what year this would have been, but it was at the very earliest 1989, and probably 1991 at the latest. What I'm trying to work out is what route the train would have taken - the folks didn't want to change through London with a bunch of luggage and the younger sister in tow, so I think they found something direct. How it would have avoided London is what's confusing me, all I remember is that it was an early start, I do recall going through Wolverhampton but that's about it. Anyone with any ideas of what route might have been used?
