    Fix pass after the batch check. Re-opened the pages behind the intercity station address, the hospital address and phone, the Athens coach fare and time, the national taxi tariff, the pension prices, the Palamidi and Bourtzi tickets, the library hours, the census figures and the local dish list, and the euro rate file; every stored value held, so no answer line changed. The hospital address and phone are now credited to the map object, which shows both, because the hospital site page would not render its body in this environment, and the travel guide's older hospital number is recorded as a conflict. Provenance moved to this run's model and date.
