Lawrence wiped the sweat from his brow: "That's right."
"Moreover, at that time, only King's Cross Station was managed by the City Hall of London, while Central Station was managed by the City Hall of Manchester."
"So only London King's Station can tolerate the frequent delays at Central Station."
In fact, the privatization of British railways took place in 1994. There are some discrepancies in the history of England, which I believe you can understand.
"Back then, there were very few trains traveling from Central Station to other stations in London."
Herman clapped and said, "Brilliant reasoning."
"No wonder Platform 9¾ is at King's Station in London."
Why didn't I think of that?
Lawrence laughed and said, "I only thought of it by chance."
"I stumbled upon a book about the history of railway architecture in the Manchester area in the library."
“I took it out and looked at it carefully, and then connected it with Harry Potter. I found a lot of coincidences.”
"When there are too many coincidences, then they are no longer coincidences."
"It's important to know that Manchester was one of the earliest urban train stations."
"The winner of the city train competition that year was Stephenson, the father of the modern train."
"The train that Stephenson won the award for is called: Rocket."
"The Rocket's starting point was Central Station."
"Rocket, Firebolt, don't they look similar? And in Rowling's official setting, the speed of Firebolt is indeed 150 kilometers per hour."
"Similar to the speed of trains in 1990."
The English name for the fire bolt is "firebolt," while the English name for the rocket train is "rocket."
Here, Lawrence means that the two concepts are similar.
"The Rocket served between Manchester and Liverpool."
"It was located at Central Station at the time."
"Moreover, the Rocket also experienced a similar incident when the crossbow bolt went out of control."
"When it opened, it killed Liverpool MP William Huskeyson."
After speaking at length, Lawrence, who was already panting, was extremely thirsty.
He took a water bottle out of his backpack.
Hermann listened intently: "And then?"
Lawrence took a big gulp of water and said, "Then there are so many coincidences when compared with history."
"I think the most likely route is from Central Station to King's Cross Station."
“I think Rowling may know something; she puts the secret in the book and tries to let us discover it ourselves.”
"So what we're going to do today is retrace this route from Central Station to King's Cross Station."
"As for whether we can find anything specific, I don't know."
"But this is the route where we are most likely to make a discovery."
Over the years, many of the railway tracks have been covered by newly grown vegetation.
Herman added, "It's a great adventure!"
