Decoder You are a secret agent waiting at Edison Station, when Darwin Drive someone runs past you, dropping a very old looking map at your feet. 6th letter of the answer Franklin Forest Feeling very suspicious, you pick up the map and find that 3rd letter of the answer there is a strange decoder key beneath what appears to be an old copy of the railway stations in the area. Mendeleev 1st letter of the answer Some stations have been circled and appear to form part of a code, the stations appear in the ‘Decoder Box’ to the right. Curie Corner Last letter of the answer You decide that this is something that has to be investigated Copernicus and start your journey. 4th letter of the answer Remember to fill in the codes as you reach each station, you Bunsen Road can change route at any of the stations that have a black 1st letter of the answer circle, but you must attempt every question for every station that you pass. Lister Lane 6th letter of the answer Good luck! Washington Walk 3rd letter of the answer Hawking Street 5th letter of the answer
