I'm starting with Bank.

Bold start.

Kensington, under Messrs Wright and Wrong.

PuddleglumtheMarshWiggle · 01/05/2019 20:41

Safe opening move there. Think I'll go for something more radical. Seeing as it's Wednesday I'm playing Elephant and Castle!

flamingnoravera · 01/05/2019 20:45

Cockfosters sums up my Wednesday.

frankie001 · 01/05/2019 20:54

Turnham Green next

MollyHuaCha · 01/05/2019 20:55

Steady on Flamingnora!

I'd like to suggest a move to... ... Totteridge & Whetstone.

Goodge St

longwayoff · 01/05/2019 20:58

With cryptic clues? Make em envious here (7, 5)

solittletime · 01/05/2019 20:59

Holborn clearly the only option

OverInfestedBadger · 01/05/2019 21:03

Can only be Royal Oak next

BillyBusStop · 01/05/2019 21:10

Under the radar - Gospel Oak! Ha, gotcha there didn't I?

BillyBusStop · 01/05/2019 21:10

Deftly followed by Turnham Green for double points Grin

Kleptronic · 01/05/2019 21:14

Tch. All these 'local' station'. I give you Turnham Green to Russell Square.

arrghitsbitingme · 01/05/2019 21:17

Russell Square to Knightsbridge (do I get extra points for shopping???)

solittletime · 01/05/2019 21:19

Boston manor wild card

Will0wtree · 01/05/2019 21:23

Are we playing by the Nesborough Rules? Because if so, then I'm going for Chancery lane. (But if so was it actually legal for @BillyBusStop to play Turnham Green?).

Of course if we're doing the 1982 Wydham-Frog rules, then I'll obviously play Swiss Cottage instead.

ShahOfSplosh · 01/05/2019 21:25

Osterley (based on my horoscope)

EL2019 · 01/05/2019 21:30

Well the obvious move in that case is Tooting Bec

Will0wtree · 01/05/2019 21:32

Bit daring I know, but Maida Vale.

flamingtoaster · 01/05/2019 21:38

It's not often a double reverse shunt to Barbican can be played so early in a game - but it is, after all, not only the 1st of the month, but it is May and after sunset so I just couldn't resist it!

Will0wtree · 01/05/2019 21:40

Oh, well played!

Battie · 01/05/2019 21:41

Oh some strong players tonight!

Can I tentatively put my racing Day hat on and say South Kensington Vale

With a follow up of Chrissington Cross?

MoreCookiesPlease · 01/05/2019 21:45

Let me get in there before you guys do - Theydon Bois.

Kleptronic · 01/05/2019 21:50

I think under Occam's rules South Kensington Vale/Chrissington Cross is disbarred from play.

Maida Vale.

Battie · 01/05/2019 21:53

Dammit. Too many flutes of Bottega before bed has marred my judgment.

AutumnCrow · 01/05/2019 21:56

There's been a rare bat sighting here, so I'm chancing my arm at Wood Lane
