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.

Ack, the end of cards and loans caught me by surprise.

Oh well, double loan for £60 I suppose. Discard Bury and Macclesfield.

Next turn, down to £92.

Double double rail: Blackburn to Wigan, Liverpool to Wigan, Liverpool to Southport, Rochdale to Yorkshire. Flips Blackburn coal, pay £1 from the market for a cost of £31. Discard Iron Works and Manchester.

(My note: down to £59)

Use Rochdale to build Iron Works there (paying 8 pounds between building and coal, correct me if I am wrong) and adding 4 iron to it. Discard a shipyard card to use 2 of those iron blocks to upgrade the locked shipyards on my play table.

Use Barrow to upgrade the Shipyards on my board to Coal era, using one from Rochdale that flips the Iron Works, and one for 1 pound from the market.
Use Shipyard card to build one in Liverpool that flips straight away, I believe. Total expenditure 27 sterling (25 from the shipyard, one from the iron and one from the coal).

Edit: change the prices for the shipyards, I forgot the coal. Total expenditure is 28 for the turn.
