That's what I was thinking.  But also if he got on the wrong train and 
then changed, the only way that works is if he changed trains without 
arriving at a station.  Tricky to do, especially when you've said you 
made the change at a station.

Incidentally, DNA was born in Cambridge (as Jim knew), then went to
Brentwood School before returning to Cambridge.

Yes.  But also, there was significance to my move to Archway - closest 
station to Highgate Cemetery, where his remains were interred.
