I find this "reach" of line, particularly baffling and confusing; am going to try as next station, Kirkstall -- with no certainty of success.

I’m really not so good on this part of the network but I think that Holbeck High Level was only accessable from the former GN line out of Leeds Central, therefore If my previous posting of Leeds Wellington was correct then I think we should now access the North Midland Railway via Hunslet?

I'm totally terrible on this part of the network -- cannot at present for the life of me, figure out what should follow Hunslet; and will have to go out shortly -- won't make a wild and probably wrong guess. (Sorry -- you folks no doubt really wanted to know all that !)

A connection existed to access the North Midland Railway, so our next closed station is Hunslet
Stourton

I don’t really consider myself confident enough to argue, but I’m still unable to work out how to pass through Holbeck HL coming from Leeds Wellington, I can see this is possible if coming out from Central though?

You can certainly go direct from Holbeck (Low Level) to Hunslet - you don't need to go to Leeds Wellington to reverse, and you could only go via Holbeck (High Level) by reversing at Leeds Central and Beeston - and in that case you would run on a goodish bit of the GNR and would avoid Holbeck (Low Level). It's a complicated area!!

I declare, things are complicated in these northerly barbarous parts, and I'm none too sure that I have things rightly here: but will hazard a guess as to the next station's being Stanley.

Have just been returned home by ambulance after spending Monday and Tuesday nights on a hospital ward ... Never had so many tests, but appear to have had a "full service".

Stanley
Welcome back -- very glad that things seem basically OK for you.

Re the game -- I had previously posted Stanley; but will you allow me -- earnest of pleasure to have you back with us -- to strike out my Stanley; and follow on from yours, to the last station on run: Methley South.
