Notes

GM

I was surprised not to see more tunnelling, but maybe the cost of doing so is too expensive. The routes used by the circle and district lines were built, presumably for the same reasons - cheap construction costs.

TGWR did not help his position with several NMRs, but I would have thought that his monopoly of the west, a much better regional control than anyone else achieved, would have brought him more points. PCMR's route was through the centre, from SE to NW and yet didn't seem to pay off that well. STRIKE had a good eastern region and connected north and south of central London. LATE was, despite his name, always early with his orders, collected points from connecting locations, had good lines into the centre and steadily drew ahead of the other railways.

PCMR - Paul Evans (3rd)

Well, I achieved my goal of connecting the south-east to the north-west, but it doesn't seem to have done me any good. :)

TGWR - Chris Boote (4th)

Well, once again I seemed to do appallingly badly. Still not sure why, it just seemed like all the SW stations needed me to run shared runs, so no big wins.

Congratulations to Steve, those early station payouts seemed to put you in front, and your network kept you there.

Thanx to Mike for his adjudication.
