Well, well, well, seem like my two initial moves are taken…
Play Stockport to connect Bury to Manchester and Manchester to Stockport with a double rail move, using my coal in Bury, (£15) and build a iron works in Manchester using an Oldham card that is good for nothing now, the final coal from Bury (flips he mine if my count is right) for another £9.
(Crossing fingers so I don’t have to speak to my lawyers again) It is over to @GeeBizzle

That doesn’t read like something you can do. You need a Manchester or an ironworks card

#122

I’ll hang fire. That sounds a bit off to me too.

#123

It is within my network, looking at the rules seems legit, but I will hold fire

#124

Okay, ignore the mine in Manchester, I will use Oldham for the first move, you will all forget that I had Stockport, and I will connect Warrington to Liverpool for a bit less money, (and I believe still my coal in Bury is the closest, so £5 and that coal instead of 7) using a Warrington & Runcorn card.

You got £1 back for selling coal to the market.

@Chewy77 to play

#129

Do I have to sell to the market? I would rather keep my coal for personal use right now like a little coal goblin.

Use a Wigan card to build a coal mine there (£8) and use a Shipyard card to get a £30 loan.

I guess as Wigan is not connected yet to anything, the coal stays there? Oh, wait, the market has been replenished, never mind.

EDIT: it should be 4 coal there, is a level 3 mine.

Edit

Play Port to double rail (Burnley to Blackburn, Blackburn to Bolton). Coal from Burnley (flip tile), coal from market (£16 total)

Play Blackburn to Build Ironworks in Blackburn (£9, plus £1 coal from market! £10 total). 5 iron go on, all sell to market for £9. Flip tile

The obvious best move for me would be to build a cotton mill and sell all three to the distant market, but I can’t do that, which is frustrating.

So: discard Colne, sell to distant market from both mills.

Discard Burnley, build rail from Bolton to Wigan, using coal from Wigan, and from Preston to Blackburn, again using coal from Wigan, for £15.
