Thet's the secret of any possibly-dubious circular journey: book
to the most obscure place (roughly half way round the route) you can
think of! Works every time ;-)
Useful when cycling, too. A CDR Stockport - Alsager was a
cheap way to go by train Stockport - Holmes Chapel, then
cycle to Kidsgrove and return by train from there to
Cheadle Hulme. (Killer footbridge at Kidsgrove though!)
