Mornington Crescent

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I shall start.

Dollis Hill

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I see that my opening gambit has confounded all and sundry!

[Peikko 1,575]

Hampstead Heath

[Darnell 8,478]

Derbyshire Midhamptononian Velveteen Rabbit South-Upon-Warding Ham/shire/quillek

or anywhere along the A1 ?

Sorry, sorry, I let sleep and work get in the way.

Interesting and may I say unorthodox move there, Cleo, with Hampstead Heath. The only course of action here is Mudchute.

It just occurred to me that we didn't state which rules we would be using this time. Normally starting a game without establishing the rules puts all the players in knip, but since it's the second Tuesday in a month without an R in it we can say we're using Orthodox rules until another rule set is selected. So lateral transfers are allowed below the horizontal and all stations with connections to National Rail are wild. And that means NO shunting from the Bakerloo Line.

So without further ado:

Upney (for obvious reasons).

Sorry for the short delay, I was momentarily stumped by your play Maven, and only after a short consultation with Willy via the Ouija (Not really cheating I'm sure you'll agree) have I come up with a move, Grants Hil.

Ah, that's torn it, I'm not sure if Grants Hill from Upney is legal?

Grumble, grumble.

Sigh. Gants Hill? Jesus Christ. Colindale then.

It is if it's Gants Hill.

(I should get smacked for that one.)

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Grant's Hill = no

Gant's Hill = yes

At the risk of coming over all Robert Winchelsea and shunning the obvious Venn Parallel, I'll move, nay swagger:

Gloucester Road

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Show off, but with some level of (surface) panache.

I shall of course go with Chesham.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Aldgate East, I guess. At this point I don`t want to get too reckless.

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

And leave Phil Collins out of this. He has his own thread.

You might not, but I'll be bold. Arnos Grove.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

A little too bold there, Maven.

I challenge that last move under Smithson's 4th rule of 1897.

The rule clearly states that the Jeffrey's Feint may never be used within 6 moves of an Emanuel Atlas Hook.

The only logical move therefore is: Russell Square!

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

You may challenge it, but it's a perfectly legal move under Moreton's 2nd Parallel.

In a far safer move, I choose Swiss Cottage.
