I got BPK and LAM the wrong way round in my head.. duh... edited!
Foghorn repeat after me ten times 'I must look at the map whilst posting routes to pprune'....
As for the call at Luton, I find that calling with your route as BPK, the overhead and Woburn increases your chance of getting an on-track transit as this is exactly where ATC wants you - out of the way of their instrument approach and missed approach. If you draw a line from BPK to Woburn it goes straight through the Luton overhead. This trick to increase your chances of an on-track transit came from various Cranfield-based instructors.
Sometimes when I've not made this explicit call I've been unnecessarily (IMHO) routed to the E/E lane at Hemel.
Anyway I hope that LATCC controllers know where WOBUN is!
