It costs £2 to travel through unlimited stations on one railway line.
It costs £1 per station to travel on a bus that links vertically adjacent stations on different railway lines.
What is the cheapest possible route from the station at the bottom-left, taking in all three of the red stations along the way?
There is no other possible mode of transport.
First, find the shortest route through all three red stations.
Continuing on from hint one...
The shortest route passes through eight stations, not including the departure station.
Continuing on from hint two...
The first stop is the station at the bottom-right, so take the direct route there.
Continuing on from hint three...
You can just pass through the red stations; there is no need to stop at them.
Be careful when you are calculating the fare.
The answer is '7'.
