Anyone up for a game of Mornington Crescent?

[Plaintree]

I'm starting with Bank.

Does the DLR count?

If so, my favourite station......

Mudchute

On the contrary, DameMargaret, we are allowed to mention the 1946 incident in passing, as long as we don’t dwell on any of the details concerning the Adjutant General, the fire engine or the crate of pomegranates. With that in mind, let us move toot sweet to

Theydon Bois

I'm playing it entirely safe with a level 26b, subsection hedgehog move, straight in with Arnos Vale. No eye rolling at the back, please.

Oh dear, an error in station naming, not allowed since the Grand Council decree after the incident at the 1987 Budapest tournament.

So back to the move before last and with the aid of the closed lines rule I move to Ongar.

Gosh, Saints, we’re seeing your ruthless streak today. Perhaps something has triggered a memory of that balmy evening in Baden Baden in July ‘72?

East Croydon

A reverse contraction to Brent Cross for me.

With the aid of the Northern Heights extension rule I can go via Edgware to Mill Hill East. There was a plan after Baden Baden to have a meeting of the Grand Council in Mill Hill East until someone realised that there was no platform 2 for the members to meet up on.

Apologies for my lateness - I was helping Lady V get the Colonel in the bath. He insists on having it in front of the fire and it's a bugger to fill.

Anyway, I'm going with... West Ham!

I stepped out for a moment and someone seems to have spilt their Bolli on the board. Hmphh, now Cockfosters is wet.

Arsenal

I think we have to be more central on a Friday evening and so move to Russell Square. Not sure where to get a good glass of red wine nearby, perhaps a fellow player of the game of games can help.

Staying central - Marble Arch

Hmm. That’s rather stymied the move I had in mind, but I think I see a way of retrieving the situation

Holborn

OMG I'm so proud of my next move.

Ladies of MN I present you with the amazing whammie that is:-

Burlington Arcade!!!!

I feel that I've really pulled a blinder with that forgotten gem.

Sorry but Vauxhall always trumps the arcade.

I guess there's only Embankment I can play now, unless I'm allowed to reverse?

Sorry Bert - no reversing allowed unless you've achieved a minimum score of 289 on the outer line.

If you have hit the magical 289 then reverse away.

Thanks - I'll stick with Embankment then!

Bert - I salute your honesty

With this level of play the 'Crescent' is rising soon. So I am to go Swiss Cottage to lead you all down a blind alley. Get out of there, if you can.

I hope you’re wearing your shin guards elephant ? That was a bold move.

I’ll take a lazy Elephant & Castle

Some interesting moves here

I think my only realistic option is

Hampstead

Highgate

May i suggest Ravenscourt Park? A genteel and little known station.

It's good, but I'll raise you Gidea Park!

It is Saturday and so the rail replacement bus rule can be used. Which is a frequent occurrence at Gidea Park, nothing to do with the suppliers of the Colonel's tin bath being nearby. Only a player of the game of games would have a tin bath nowadays.

Newbury Park
