GM Notes
Order layouts: Your Name, Company Name, Company Colour. It makes life so much easier when adjudicating.
Elmers End is a station on the Mid Kent Line and was provisionally going to have the DLR extended over it from Lewisham, hence the mis-match of station levels. It is so named, not because of elephants, but because many hangings took place there.
Thanks to Jonathan for a further refinement of the map.
Next turn's die rolls are: 4, 5, 5
