A related question is what is the 'best' station. I'm talking about quality of stops, not just quantity. I want to be able to travel to Cornwall, Wales, London, Manchester and Aberdeen from a single place. My feeling there is that Birmingham New Street, Manchester Piccadilly and York are the top 3?

I wonder if there's more in common between both stories than first meets the eye. Key anchor points of a community, strong family values, importance of work ethic, link between price, convenience and demand

Superb! Great to know I'm not alone flying the red flag in NRW. Kettwig is a lovely place too. Let's hope our early season form continues, though anything near the top half would be fantastic.

Last but not least is Bejay Mulenga.

Jo Wimble-Groves is next on my list.
Company founder, blogger and motivational speaker.
Jo is focused on getting more women into senior leadership positions.
Out of the leading 80 energy companies in the UK, only 6 are led by women.
We can do more to raise awareness of this issue.

Amika George contributed more to the political debate in the UK before she was even allowed to vote than most of us do in a lifetime.
Her campaign for free period products in schools helped lead to a decision in 2019 for Government to start funding schools to provide sanitary products to students.

Next on the list is Anna MacDonald.
Her career has taken her from medical doctor, to a charity to support young unaccompanied asylum seekers, via being a musician singing in Gaelic.
She represents the array of languages and cultures in the UK. And hope for a better future for young asylum seekers.

Fifth on the list is one of the most multi-talented musicians of recent years, Ren.
His range of abilities is huge. But what makes him stand out is his battle with Lyme disease, and how that struggle has influenced his music to such a deep degree.
What a guy.

I couldn't do this list without covering football.
And I can't cover football, without talking about Nottingham Forest.
And I can't talk about Forest, without referencing the man, the legend, Ryan Yates.
A symbol of work ethic, talent and perseverance.

Third on my list is Anne-Marie Imafidon.
She picked up her Computer Science A level aged 11.
She has starred on Channel 4's Countdown.
But her real triumph has been her work through her organisation Stemettes, to get young women more involved in STEM professions.

Secondly, I will talk about Adwoa Aboah.
A model by trade, but really an activist. The work that she has done for the mental health and wellbeing of adolescent and young girls through her organisations Gurl Talk is so important.

Dave's story is quite something. His father deported when Dave was just six weeks old, both his brothers in prison when he was a teenager.
He's gone on to release some deep and meaningful records, tackling issues inc knife crime.
