<p><a href="http://dinopoloclub.com/minimetro/">Mini Metro</a> is coming along;
they're up to beta 20 now; with new features like "Rush Hour Mode"
(where you can't move lines and trains around once placed) which I
really like. It's somewhat harder and produces odder-looking maps
though:</p>

<p>I spotted <a href="http://dinopoloclub.com/minimetro/">Mini Metro</a> on the
Humble Bundle yesterday and in a fit of trying to reduce stress tried
playing it last night.</p>
<p>It clearly needs some work (and documentation) but it's a fun
distraction right now. So far this is the best I've managed which
scored 2470 passengers delivered:</p>

<p>I was looking forward to going on a steam train day trip on Sunday, to
celebrate getting olderer (it happens every year, tedious isn't it);
but I've had notification that it has been postponed because rail
engineering work near Ipswich has overrun so Network Rail can't
allocate it the required paths.</p>
<p>Sigh.</p>
<p>Oh well, hopefully it'll be fun when it does eventually happen.</p>
