Bernd, I'm once more amazed by your resourcefulness :-)

Mark, I thought you said Waterloo Station because it is pictured in the Quad booklet
with Jimmy ascending the stairs. My theory is that Waterloo was probably chosen for
the booklet because it's got a better looking entrance. It's all of little consequence
unless you ever want to travel to Brighton in "Jimmy Mode", in which case a change at
East Croydon or Clapham Junction is probably just not going to "do it" for you :-)

Cheers,
