| Operating Turn 1 |
Everyone wants random die rolls for running trains, & the preference seems to be no town more than once except for the Docks/Main towns etc - so all towns will be run to once, and the winner will be the highest cash score when all are completed. | ||
| Start Town: 2= Methyr, Dowlais, Brynmawr, Pontypool or Newport: End Town: 22= Cross Keys | |||
| Only Andy decided to operate this route (Newport-Cross Keys distance 10) - so with die rolls: 6,2,4 reaches the destination to score 20 using only his own track: No-one scores the remaining 10. | |||
