It's an anything-goes level, so no worries. Nice solution.

Heed the Traffic Light - I liked this level - looked very difficult at first but having solved it I genuinely felt I should have spotted the method sooner.

All Aboard the Pain Train - After practically being given a solution replay for Changing of the Guards I was expecting this to be a complete nightmare and had avoided any serious attempts at it until today, but got the idea fairly quickly.

. I think its in the right place difficulty wise as although I solved it a lot more easily than COTG, I used some ideas from the solution of that level (its a bit like the fact I solved Slipping Again much more quickly than Slipping).

I'm happy that there is so much solving these days, and I'm already gathering the fixes across your and Forestidia's threads.

I can't believe I haven't looked at Wibble's replay properly yet.

Some Like to Run took me a long time to figure out.
I believe this is actually a backroute. Let me tighten the spawn interval (attached) to hopefully fix it. We should probably cross-check with Minim though as I'm not sure I know all nuances of the intended solution.

It is a backroute. :(

Entertaining solution though I must admit. Geoo's spawn rate fix should hopefully sort the problem out, and maybe a laser trap could be added somewhere too?

So, with the remaining 6 Vicious levels I'm pretty much stuck. Some feel close to the solution, some not. 

Gr8 Escape - still not seeing how to apply any tricks with bridges to either stall several lix in 1 go (without needing an extra basher) or turn around without a wall.

Burridan's lix - 1 short on the solution for the left, not even close with the right.

100% Built - not seeing how to save a bridge on either side.

Theresa Falls Up the Stairs - 2 different unsuccessful methods attached.

Chasm - Most of my attempts are variants of the attached.

Hints for any or all would be appreciated at this stage.

All Aboard the Pain Train -- Good work! Pretty much intended. There's one element I had in mind which you didn't do and I realize it's completely unnecessary:

Actually, this is not true (see one of Forestidia's replays). But maybe that's what you consider the backroute that should be fixed (see backroute thread)?

Thanks for all hints given, I have looked at 3 of the levels I was stuck on and solved 2.5 of them now.

Burridan's Lix (LHS) - OK, should have saw that way sooner than I did!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
For the RHS, have read Proxima's hints, I did suspect it would be something to do with the level mentioned there, still working on how though.

Wait Why Is There a Tree? - I had most of the idea already, just missed

Theresa Falls Up the Stairs - Got this one off the first hint. Liked this level a lot, any level that uses a variety of skills, particularly the non basic lemmings ones, is one that appeals. The trap adds a nice bit of scenery even if it is generally cosmetic in function.

Burridan's Lix RHS now solved. Weirdly I thought I'd tried that method earlier, clearly I hadn't!
