Right - It’s simple. Your accumulated tokens are fine as long as we remain out of Zone 1 or on the Overground lines\[1\]. If the previous turn had been not in Zone 2, your tokens would have been in bualk\[2\]. Nid is still in play for the next four turns or until we move to the Northern Line\[3\]. They will revoked if the next move is to an Interchange \[4\] Until we determine whether we are using the Somerset or Shropshire variants, I’m playing it safe by limiting myself to ten tokens. I suggest you do the same.

**Charing Cross**

This nets me eleven tokens.
