How these guides work
No guide here is written freehand. A magazine piece prints counts taken from the records this index already holds and points at the hubs; a traveller-question page computes its figures from the operator records it names. When a record changes, the guide changes with it. Question pages are also listed, without the magazine grouping, under traveller questions. If an answer looks wrong, report the fact that is wrong; it is free.
