Melksham reversed.

Don't see that under any rule set; using a Betty Windsor Line filter may make it a valid move, but of course that won't come into play until there are passenger trains running through Paddington.

Err ... not the sequence I had.   Best not get trapped on the Piining Gambit - long wait to the next move.   I have five possible solutions and will accept any one of them.
