Paul S. -- doesn't your itinerary read "GN & GE Joint, then Axholme Joint Railway?" Shouldn't the next station be Haxey Junction (Axholme Joint); and so on?

From what I made out from the old map that I used, there did not seem to be any direct chord in the right facing direction between Haxey and Epworth and Haxey Junction, so my plan was to continue along the main line from Haxey and Epworth to Park Drain, then to reverse along the directional chord to Haxey Junction, which indeed is the next closed station on this journey.

Sorry -- a subtlety of which I was unaware ! Do we take it that per etiquette for the game, a participant who is neither you nor I, should furnish the next station north from Haxey Junction?
