• Gramit: Dammit, just when I needed to go through Reading... Coventry One o' t' threh rods gorn owt askoo o' treddle (next player can continue)
• Yer Mom: Huddersfield. "I beg your pardon?"
• Herr Bratsche: [Yer Mom] In Huddersfield, they have a saying: "From Hell, Hull and Halifax, dear Lord deliver us". Needless to say, in Halifax Huddersfield gets substituted. God knows what they say in Hull. The Hawthorns risking infernal torment from WBA supporters.
• Si: OK so that fell by the wayside a bit...turning now to quayside...Poole
• Silk: Ugh! Fenchurch Street being forced towards Shoeburyness
• Si: [Silk] Give my regards to Stanford-le-Hope on the way...
• Gramit: Still in Coventry till I can reverse LV on Virgin...sigh [Yer Mom] thanks for continuing... so... "One o't'threh rods gorn owt askoo o' treddle"
• Jrs: Oh Gods, now look what you've done..... Crewe. [Herr Bratsche] Something to do with Grimsby, I would guess.
• Néa: Here we go... Crewe.
• Thos: Cleethorpes
• JLE: Nice escape. Alderley Edge, forced.
• Tolken: Boston (Mass., but not yet critical)
• Herr Bratsche: Carstairs, in the rear portion of the train.
• Si: Cross-weaving West-Coast mainline to Leighton Buzzard
• Tolken: Big Cat Enclosure
• Gramit: Finally! Oxford, and a seven-day railpass.
• Nina: Belatedly, thanks for reassurance on Jewellery Quarter. Now Big Cat Enclosure, where is it? I anticipate that it is some little train that goes through a wildlife park, and not linked to a national network. Is such a move entirely kosher?!
• Silk: Gidea Park
• Si: [Nina] No, I don't believe it has anything to do with Jewish food, but I'm not suer about that particular move either. Anyway, Let's make a return to Warrington Bank Quay
• Sneggers: Lime Street, Liverpool
• Tolken: [Nina, Si] You can get a coach from Oxford Station direct to the Costwold Wildlife Park, where you can then pick up a train straight to the Big Cat Enclosure...
  Malvern Link
• Si: [Tolken] Is it a tradition that the mave that one makes after an explaination is Malvern Link? (c.f My Jewellery Quarter explaination)...If it is tehn whoever explains that will put you in strick! Anyway I'll sit back at Clapham Junction POWER! I now control the entire South-East rail network!
• Gramit: Salisbury
• Thos: Llandudno Junction and much good may it do you!
• JLE: It does, thanks. Shepreth, knerdling Sneggers.
• Herr Bratsche: Time for the Borth postulation - Borth, * said with maximum force and a strong Welsh accent *.
• Silk: Tamworth pinning Nuneaton That causes delays to all stations within the Birmingham condoit zone. Evil grin
• JLE: Opening up the diagonals again with East Didsbury...
• Néa: Haltwhistle. In which children's book was there a railway station called Pottlewhistle Halt? I vaguely remember a railwayman calling "Pollwillall" which looked very strange to my turnip eyes...
• Tolken: Dyji Junction again, but this time to leave HB in oddie, watching the wildlife.
• Tolken: Dyfi Junction, obviously.
• Herr Bratsche: British Steel Redcar, industrially
• Thos: Erm.....Ryde perhaps?
• JLE: Erm... why do you think I opened up the diagonals again? Filey.

• JLE (Winner's Comments): I might also say thanks to Thos for his inadvertent help a few moves ago, and to Tolken for knocking Herr Bratsche out of my way. Watch out next time, guys, you've got more than one opponent...
• Thos: JLE is a class act, I didn't even see the spiral of success that Llandudno Junction would usher in for him. I am a humble MC toiler in a room full of experts but all praise to JLE here, I think.
• Si: [Thos, JLE] A magnificent victory by all accounts...even in the eyes of some more experienced players I should imagine. All credit to JLE.
• bob: birmingham to seaford
• Andrew: Feltham South west London
