Feels like we could all do with a robust tournament round about now. May I start?

I know this is cheeky, but I’ll begin with...

...Osterley

Well it certainly isn’t a work I would like my husband or servants to read Maud. But as you say, best to move on.

As it’s a Sunday, I’m branching out to Morden.

I think I need to use the tram rule again. DuckonaBike has played a clever move. Off to West Croydon it is.

Oh dear, oh dear. Have we learnt nothing?

Tottenham Court Road

Another quiet spell...

Let’s make up for it with the Willan Manouevre to Hyde Park Corner. I trust this is allowed, in the circumstances.

I think there is an opportunity to move to South Kensington. Pity the museums are shut but understandable.

WalkingInTheAir13 · 17/01/2021 12:37

The Willan Manoeuvre is definitely allowed.

In fact, due to the museums being closed, I am going to use it to slide into Knightsbridge.

peak2021 · 17/01/2021 13:13

I think a move to Piccadilly Circus. Interesting to see with shops shut.

I'm going to go for Holborn

peak2021 · 18/01/2021 09:14

I see that the closed stations rule has not been played so far this year and so I play it to move from Holborn to British Museum. I don't think this former station has been a move since the ill-fated tournament held at Olympia in 1991. I remember the Major's look of horror (or was it disgust) at the time.

DuckonaBike · 18/01/2021 20:13

That’s very daring peak2021. If I may be permitted a direct move to another closed station (which I think is allowed on Blue Monday) then I move to City Road.

Perhaps it is just as well that the Major is not with us this evening.

WalkingInTheAir13 · 02/02/2021 14:21

The delays on the lines (and not just the usual suspect, Northern Line) have been unacceptable..
And so I'm making the final move to…… MORNINGTON CRESCENT!

Better luck next time folks. Smile

peak2021 · 21/02/2021 10:49

@WalkingInTheAir13 well done, belated congratulations. I better start a new game.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 21/02/2021 10:57

I'm assuming, sadly, that we are playing under Brexit rules, so heading for Waterloo.
