Andover to Swindon, with a diversion to Tidworth (I did Andover-Marlborough, but it was in the dark.)
Lambourn Valley Line
Sidmouth Junction - Sidmouth
(And if I had a time machine, the Larkhill Military Railway between 1917 and 1922)

In was 10 in 1964, 15 by 1969 ... travelling but not really aware of the depth of what was going on around me. So many missed opportunities - whether they would have been practical I doubt. Another thread (on the Bridport Branch) lead me to thinking which would I have most like to have travelled ... and I have come up with three - just three to avoid the list getting too depressingly long
* "Beyond Barnstaple"
* Ruabon to Morfa Mawddach
* Bridport Branch
What are your three regrets?
