We live just south of Cambridge. A small local station (Foxton) is the stop before Cambridge. Foxton to Newmarket return: £24 Cambridge to Newmarket return: £16. £8 extra to travel, barely 5 miles? So instead we'll drive to Cambridge. More traffic, not less. https://static.klipy.com/ii/c3a19a0b747a76e98651f2b9a3cca5ff/d3/aa/cQIKpLBi.gif?hh=498&ww=498&mp4=Vntk86cFljNF&webm=PZD1uppJGG6wxLMaL02 Jul 2026 11:34 +0000at://did:plc:basccadlxd7h7swdbsrrkrdp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpnwsbanm22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/optimisey.com/post/3mpl4wwoo6c2bTFW you get a @screamingfrog.co.uk custom extraction to work perfectly first time. https://static.klipy.com/ii/e293a233a303a98e471f78d04e13a1b0/6a/06/eUgDJIWu.gif?hh=364&ww=498&mp4=n0atVHvyjbAdOnN05m&webm=9NDod4Xi5UGTv01 Jul 2026 08:46 +0000at://did:plc:basccadlxd7h7swdbsrrkrdp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpl4wwoo6c2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/optimisey.com/post/3mp3yrtsjvs2mGood to know that even Google struggle with their sitelinks sometimes.
