Q9: Journeying on what, between which termini, might one's thoughts turn to:
i: sleepwalking?
ii: elliptical orbits?
iii: the quintessential libertine?
iv: a soldier without a passport?
v: the founding father of the EU?
vi: the royal prisoner of Sönderborg?
vii: Judith and three mute wives?
viii: clothed and naked versions?
ix: the mount of Bellerophon?
x: melting clocks?

the rules as they have evolved:
a: nice full answers and anecdotes if poss
b: say if googled or no; leave time for non-googlers to play
c: obviously look ahead at future questions if you want
d: don't bring in confirming or dissenting answers from other fora until next set is up and running

spoilers iii is possibly casanova, v is possibly jacques monod, ix is pegasus and x is dalí -- is this tube or railway line names across the world? i

ii) is probably Kepler

The whole thing might be the Paris Metro - it has loads of stations with non-geographic sounding names.

there's a norma on there. does that mean there's a norma major?

if there is some paris metro link, then that's the dali link at mount parnasse (sp?). but it must be less obvious than station names

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

must it?

google sez no (well wrt doing a braneded kepler search)

cf the slightly strange form of the question -- viz "journeying on what, between which termini"

given that the second bit asks which line it is, the first can't every single time be expecting the answer "underground trains" or "the paris metro"

which implies it's about more than one city's metro system (and the first part of the answer is eg "the lisbon metro". the "the scunthorpe metro" etc

or is it montmartre (i am rubbidge)
