Go back to the first thing you did to get here, there is something that tells you what you looking for.
(and dcode is a good site to help you "translate" this)
I see you closed the main thread, so I'll just leave this here.
The reason I was stuck on this puzzle was mostly because it did not give much feedback on whether I was on the right track.
For example, when you decode the above string, it's clear you did it right.
But for the clues in the links it was not so obvious. The original values would give something like 'ls10595th'. It's not clear to me if that was correct. And on top of the the values from the secondary links would give unreadable characters, making me think the method was not correct.
The updated values lead to '1059length5th'. This is already better as it looks less random.
Another point is that there was too much information that's not needed at this point. You say there were three puzzles, the order in which the information for each puzzle appears did not make sense to me.
From the above string, only the first part was needed. Maybe it would have been better to discover the rest at a later stage. Same for the 'secondary' clues in the main post.
Anyway, I still had fun trying to solve this and I'm looking forward to the revamped version!
I'm trying to keep it close to the original version since I saw people making a lot of headway. Sorry about the readability! I was trying to trick dcode's cipher identifier.
By the way, could you tell me what you mean by "the order in which the information for each puzzle appears?" Also, was the guide helpful?
Yes, the guide helped to sort some of the clues.
Before I did not know there were three puzzles / trains. So I tried to use all information I found. The "X...;Y...;Z..." part for instance. After getting a result from X, I was not sure if I needed to try an apply Y and Z to that output.
Maybe it would have been better to not know about the Y and Z until it was more clear how to use it.
Apparantly you need access to the first giveaways before you can use part Y?
The way it looked to me was one sequence of operations to get to an end result instead of 3 separate puzzles.

Just more random characters. I give up honestly. I'm not even interested in the solution by now. Moving on.

Made it to the first clue after taking a break from yesterday. But no idea where to go from here. Tomorrow it is!
