Perhaps an opportune time to draw attention to the following extract from the quiz rules:

By convention the full English names of stations are used - the name as given by National Rail Enquires is considered to be definitive. It is requested that moves are made using bold text.

Invalid moves and legibility
The game depends heavily on the order of moves being correct. Occasionally invalid posts are made, for instance when lots of posts are made in quick succession. To avoid problems arising from this. you may never edit a move, other than to strike it out if it is invalid. If you then need to make a new move, do so by posting again and not by editing. The thread has adjudicators (currently A Challenge, Buttsy, clagmonster, Darren R and TimSYoung40145) who keep track of the score and help work out what to do when mistakes are discovered. They might ask you to strike out your post if one before yours was invalid. If you are caught breaking the rules about editing, the adjudicators can dock 25 points from the leg. If someone has started a new leg after incorrectly deciding they have won the previous leg then the adjudicators award them no points for that leg, so be careful!

Noting some of the postings made this morning, whilst I have been "sitting quietly in the background", with the knowledge that we have new contestants, I think that showing the above rules extract on invalid moves and legibility and the possible consequences affecting the scoring of a leg is well worth showing.
