9. Can you tell me the way to the station?

Straight down this way, left at the roundabout, you can't miss it.
Take a right at the traffic lights, get into the outer lane, pay the congestion charge, go up the hill, sit in a traffic jam for half an hour, take the second right and you'll see the Station Hotel on your left. The station has been closed for forty years but if you ask at reception they'll probably re-open it for you.
Keep on going until you reach a lake, then drive as fast as you can off the end of the jetty. Eject in mid-air, then swim to the military base and commandeer an armoured personnel carrier. Head straight on until you reach a level crossing, then take a sharp right onto the railway tracks. It should be obvious from there.
You must renounce your former life, poor fool, and make your way to the misty mountains on the borders of the Forgotten Kingdom of Feyamor. There you will seek the Path of the Fallen Heroes, where the ghosts of station-seekers past do dwell. I must warn you that you will suffer ten full years of tribulations on that path, and at its end you will not rest but instead be faced with the yellow zone of the Endless Car Park of Zorohoth, which has brought doom to many of the greatest warriors who ever lived. Nevertheless, you must undertake to cross it alone, with only the Golden Pay & Display Ticket of Naxaron to support you. And heed these words well, my friend: no return within two hours. Only then will you be worthy to take a right, then left at the roundabout, you can't miss it.
Sorry mate, I'm not from round here.
