So, Mauchline now? If I'm still in a confused condition -- sorry !

No, Mauchline is not on the line section that we are currently on, of which Commondyke was the last valid station.

No, Mauchline is not on the line section that we are currently on, of which Commondyke was the last valid station.

I'd best sit the remainder of this journey out -- completely bewildered (stupidity on my part, I have no doubt !). Second "Mauchline" struck out.

I will shortly launch the next journey.
